3. “You can have a bigger impact than you think” at Live Your Legend

But it starts with the belief that you, your idea, can have an impact. That belief is what will get you to start. It’s what will allow you to attract your first follower. It’s what will give you the courage to pour your soul into something that matters.

4. “The 8^th and 9^th step for both AA and beepers” at If you are going through hell keep going

Like I said, the isolation adds to the depression. It feeds it. And like ice cream, you keep feeding it until you cannot stop. The depression then eventually transmogrifies into despair, then suicidal thoughts come in. If you aren’t careful, you can give into their Siren voices.

5. “The Day I Fired God” at Knowledge is Necessity

I looked up at the ceiling instead. “God, you’re fired!” I said in a voice that would have caused all the plants in the house to shrivel and die had I been a god, myself. The plants paid no attention. Minutes later, I found my wallet, or rather God surreptitiously returned it to where I had left it in the first place. At least, where I think I may have left it. How the hell would I know where I left it, me with my factory-reject brain with no tech support.

6. “Masks of Depression” at Storied Mind

What I came to understand later on was that it took a vast amount of energy and willpower to keep the natural feelings and reactions bottled and capped. And another burst to construct and keep in place the persona I needed to project to the world. While I was doing this, I was always thinking: Oh, this is just an act. Wait till they see what I’m really like. Of course, I didn’t really know the extent of all I was keeping hidden. That included a lot of pain, hurt, grief, anger that I was not even aware of.

7. “Ever feel like giving up?” at The Art of Non-Conformity

I realized recently that my greatest weakness as a leader is insecurity. Sometimes, I’ll admit to those of you who are following this adventure, I care more about what people think of me than I care about making the right decision. I know that’s not good, and I’m working on it.

8. “Ideas Spread like Viruses and If You Don’t Act Immediately, Someone Else Will” at Elevation Life

Now, I’m not saying I deserve credit for Arthur Christmas. I don’t! Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith have probably written a cute family tale and they deserve full credit for it. They had an idea and acted on it. And they’re richer because of it.

9. “The night I gave up on life” at Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

Nothing and I mean nothing is so bad that you have to take your own life. There are always options and if the worst comes to worst, drop everything and start again. If you are in this situation now, please believe me when I say it will get btter and there are people who can help.

10. “How I went from Twitter Hell to Twitter Heaven” at Practical Adventure-ology

For a split second,  I felt a twinge of angst and I wondered “who would ever want to follow me?” I shook it off and continued on.

11. “How to start a revolution” at Illuminated Mind

it’s only this kind of walking the path that brings clarity. Don’t wait for clarity or your “one true purpose” before you start. Please, please, don’t do that. It will never happen. Epiphanies are found in the dirty, messy circuitous routes of practice.
