New to the blogosphere, I have yet to discover the blogs that I would love to visit on a regular basis. I have absolutely no time to follow the trivial everydayness of celebrities, nor would I be intrigued by the life of politicians. I adore animals, but I want to touch them and play with them rather than acting as an onlooker at their photos and videos.
As I am going through a phase with intense interest on an inward journey of self discovery, the blog of Steve Pavlina would be what I consider as the most inspiring. The blog focuses on, as its headline sums it up smartly, personal development for smart people.
The author has a no-fuss and focused writing style, easy to read, and quick to get to the points. And the content is so rich that I have yet to explore every chapter. I randomly click on one chapter - how to discover your life purpose in 20 minutes -with the pre-judgement that the title is too naive and simplistic for such a profound subject matter. But I was delightfully surprised how the author gets around complex matters in a smart and neat way.
One thing I really appreciate about the blog of Steve Pavlina is the balance of the personal and the non-personal. The author writes for an audience, and in every line of his blog he is conscious of the existence of the person reading his blog. He writes, he dialogues, he shares. It is not a narcissistic monologue of “how smart I am”.
Some of the fascinating chapters include:
The blog indeed opens up to a new level of consciousness.

Could you add links for us to the chapters you mention near the end of your post? It would be really nice to be able to access them directly!

Hi Brigitte, to me “Courage is the Gateway” is truly inspiring, something that the material world is not really and something that ,when I’m in the state of uninspired human, helps me to snap out again.
Thanks for bringing Steve Pavlina up.
