Welcome to the May 20th, 2007 edition of the Personal Development Blog Carnival.

Diving right into this weeks articles, Albert Foong wrote up a very nice article titled Aristotle vs. Urban Monk Round 1: Finding Bliss. Success. Love.  In one section of the article, Albert talks about the insanity of waiting to be happy and says “Many people seem to be constantly waiting; waiting to start living, to be happy.” and continues by saying “Sound familiar? This is the most common mistake and the biggest killer of joy and happiness. What are you waiting for? Why can’t you be happy now?”.  These words are pure gold.  I encourage my readers to check out his article at Urban Monk.

Another great article I read this week was by Erek Ostrowski titled Ease Up and Don’t Swing So Hard! posted at his blog Verve Coaching.  It’s a short little piece, but as Erek says “This is some of the most profound and spiritual teaching I’ve ever heard. What’s most profound about it, in my experience, is how counterintuitive it is.” Check it out.

A similar point is descibed by Lola in the article It’s not always about trying harder posted at Real World Spiritual and Personal Development.

How I Do Law Of Attraction by Pamm posted at My Secret Spiritual Dance shares some excellent insight into The Law of Attraction.

In his article Jack of all trade vs specialization posted at Ultracrepidate Causalien discusses the issue of being a specialist and in his own words realizes that “It is in that situation when I asked myself if specializing in one field is the answer to a great life? The conclusion I reached is a No.”  Considering the fact that I’m a “Jack of All Trades” myself, I like this article.
