I am often asked for recommendations of best personal development books to read. Enjoy these 5 personal development books that I introduce to you. Rather than refer to those 5 books as the best self improvement books, I prefer to suggest that these are excellent books for you to read.
Life Power Tip
Eliminate time wasters. Go for what matters to you. You want to consciously choose activities that support what you want for your life. This also means having clear goals that really matter to you so you can know how best to use your time.
Action
Have a romantic candlelit dinner at home, even if it is with you.
Challenge
Establish good principles by which to live, and conduct yourself according to those.
Quote
Just because things hadn’t gone the way I had planned didn’t necessarily mean they had gone wrong. -Ann Patchett
Clearing
Declare a “Do Nothing Day” each month, and really, do nothing that day!
Question
How often do you use “time” as your excuse for non-achievement?
Affirmation
I choose to feel that I am organized.
Uplifting Extra
Do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels in the sand? Are the things you’re working on not moving forward as quickly as you’d expected? Have you ever seen bamboo in the wild? What a lot of people don’t know about bamboo is that it’s an overnight success. What a lot of people don’t know about overnight success, that just like bamboo, once you make your breakthrough, you too will grow very fast. When others call you an overnight success, you can smile to yourself. Knowing the real secret to your success. Almost anything worthwhile in life takes time.

More inspired self improvement every day!
It’s difficult to be inspired if you’re stuck in a negative state. Inspiration is not just a flash of vision, it’s a motivation that births creativity.
People who get inspired are usually the ones more eager to jump into a project and stick with it. Inspired people have greater confidence not to doubt themselves.
Every day, seek out personal moments of clarity, increasing your awareness of new possibilities that surround you.

Sometimes, you’ll find me recommending or presenting the same product(s) more than one time.
When repeating a training or using a tool that I’ve used or come across before, often I’ll “see” something brand new or have a fresh insight/perspective, that I might not have picked up on earlier. In that moment, perhaps I am finally “ready” to REALLY hear and receive its message or lesson.
It is not unlike seeing a movie for the second time and realizing that I’d not remembered seeing a particular scene, from the first viewing. As Nelson Mandela once said…
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
When you see something that has already been presented to you once before, then I invite you to revisit it anyhow.
Give up any judgement about whether it is “good” or “bad”. It JUST IS and you are alive, so you’re in luck. You get to choose, again!
I love these words from Gelett Burgess…
“If in the last few years you haven’t discarded a major opinion or acquired a new one, check your pulse. You may be dead.”
Tens of thousands of people, from many countries & backgrounds, receive Forward Steps emails. Everyone is at different stages of their life journey, everyone is looking for different things and experiencing different things.
Some of us learn best by hearing, others are more visual and yet others love to gather information by reading. This makes for a phenomenal challenge, in satisfying everybody’s individual needs and preferences. Even should we assume “that nothing is impossible” – this challenge gives an awfully good impression of “impossible”!
We are all different. Seldom one solution fits all. I provide a vast array of resources (hundreds, in fact) to cater for a multi-dimensional audience and I always recommend you remember this quote…
Absorb what is useful, discard what is not and add what is uniquely your own. -Bruce Lee Share on XIn Lak’ech Ala K’in,
