Personal Growth

The Positivity Blog

The Positivity Blog is the first blog I started to follow many years ago. Written by Henrik Edberg it is a site full of practical articles all about simplifying life and increasing your capacity for happiness. He has a focus on improving your social skills and generally driving your productivity; it is self development goodness at your fingertips!

This blog started me my journey for more satisfaction in my life; those times when you just feel that something is missing. I've learned that you must start looking within yourself to really begin to understand the whys and hows of happiness.

Henrik gives easy advice and guidance in his posts; they just make sense and often lead me to new insights. A pleasure to read in an easy format. The Positivity Blog is like a long time good friend to me.

Lifestyle Freedom

Wake Up Cloud

Wake Up Cloud is a blog by Henri Juntilla. Henri is passionate about helping people who are seeking their true path and he is particularly focused on developing online businesses. He relates his success story that began back in 2009. A lengthy and easy to read index takes you to all the previous blogs containing loads of valuable (and free!) information that will get you started on a new path.

A great resource for anyone who is still trying to figure out how to make a living from doing what they love. Even if you don't know what your passion is Henri will guide you.

I just recently read Henri's book, "Do What You Love", it is a very easy read and really drives home the points we need to remember in our daily lives. Our thoughts determine our world and this book has helped me considerably in realizing most of my stress is self generated and really doesn't exist in reality.

Daily Inspiration

Brian Kim

Every morning I wake up with Brian Kim. Well, not literally, but figuratively. Each day in my inbox is Brian's M.I.T. of the day. (Motivational Inspirational Thought). These thoughts are the perfect inspiration that I use to reach my goal that day.

Some of these insights end up enlarged, cut, pasted and attached to my bulletin board at work. An everyday reminder to focus, succeed and persevere. Brian's advice is solid and practical. He is a passionate writer and believes in guiding people to reach their full potential through sound definitive advice. His articles cover many topics and are full of nuggets of wisdom.

Positive Thoughts

Positively Positive is an inspirational website that has soooooo much to offer in terms of motivation. It is a great site to visit just to feed your soul. There are many contributors who submit their writing to this website and yes, you can too! There are criteria to be met as submissions must inspire self development through positivity, just check out the rules on the submission page.

I love this site as it feeds the mind with positivity and in a world filled with negativity we need more sites like this.

Food for Your Soul

Tiny Buddha

Tiny Buddha is another site filled with inspiration and positivity. The site was founded by Lori Duschene. In addition to Lori's blog, there are contributors from all other the world who write on a wide range of topics providing solutions and guidance for living happy and healthy.
