Can you believe the Personal Growth Carnival is about ready to turn the big 50?  In the 50th edition I’m going to put a lot of the long time writers at the top.  But let’s talk about this edition. 

This week we had a lot of carnival spam.  That’s people who post a bunch of off topic artiles to the carnival hoping you will read them.  But I go through and erase them, only leaving the ones that I think you will get something out of…

And here they are….. Enjoy!

John Crenshaw presents From Good To Great - 1 Degree of Separation posted at Dominate Your Life, saying, “Ok, you’ve conquered your self-doubt, you have ultimate confidence and no doubt you’ll succeed, but you still haven’t made that leap from good to great. Well, you’re 90% there, but ultimately, all the confidence in the world isn’t going to push you that extra 10% if you’re sitting on your couch playing video games all day (unless it’s the video games you want to become great at ). Confidence is that foundation, that support that every other aspect of your life relies upon to function properly. Confidence is fine and dandy, but you have to have other tools in your arsenal that you can use to really push yourself that last mile.”
