Four Fine Articles To Fire Up Your Emotions

October 16th, 2007 by Galba Bright

Have you ever read a blog post that moved you? I mean, really moved you. It stirred you and caused you to think and act differently?

Whilst reading the 600 or so personal development blogs on Priscilla Palmer’s Personal Development List, I enjoyed reading some powerful, inspiring articles.

I read the four that I’m about to share with you three weeks ago. I didn’t think about them again until today. I asked myself how these writers had moved me.

I hope you enjoy these 4 stand-out articles.

1. Let Chris Marshall teach you a profound lesson in human behaviour by explaining Why Good Listeners are Better Learners. To listen well you must listen with your whole body.

“When verbal communication is supplemented or replaced with the context-free language of the five senses, a student is free to spend more time in the state of awareness and observation.”

You don’t have to be a martial arts practitioner to learn from Chris Marshall’s articles.

2. In Mourning our Losses , Jean Browman, from the Stress To Power Blog paints a simple, senstitive portrait that shows you how to “outgrow” your losses through patience and perseverance.

3. Brian Clark of Copyblogger is one of the best teachers on the web. Here’s a snippet of his thinking about creativity:

“You create your own imaginary boxes simply by living life and accepting certain things as “real” when they are just as illusory as the beliefs of a paranoid delusional. The difference is, enough people agree that certain man-made concepts are “real,” so you’re viewed as “normal.” This is good for society overall, but it’s that sort of unquestioning consensus that inhibits your natural creative abilities.”

In Do You Recognise These 10 Blocks To Creative Thinking? he writes an article that seems to come straight from the heart.

4. How would you describe your experience of personal development? For Brian Kim it’s a never-ending process. Join him the Self Improvement Blog and take The Typical Journey Of Self Improvement.

These four writers inspired me and I hope their writings will move you too.

Who are the writers that you read who fire up your emotions?

    Thanks for the link. It is always gratifying to hear that I am succeeding in my goal, of presenting the beauty and value of martial arts to the general public.

    The writer who most recently excited me was Harold Taylor, who wrote about how emotional attachment can be an impediment to artistic achievement.

    Hello Chris:

    I really enjoy your writing. The link to Harold Taylor was fascinating and I left a comment at your blog.

    The ideas remind me of an article that I wrote called : Why EQ Is A Set of Golf Clubs.

    One of my arguments was:

    “The great golfers make outstanding performance appear effortless. Relaxed grace, smooth swing and their state of “flow” are the result of intense focussed practice and preparation. Mental and physical rehearsal takes place far away from the prying eyes of the public.”

    Here’s the link to the article:

    Keep up the fine writing.

    Thanks for the link, Galba! One correction, my name is Jean Browman, not Jean Browman-Clark.

    Hello Jean. Sorry for the error. I’ve fixed it now. You’re welcome to the link. I’m planning to point to the article again during the Thrving on Change series.

    Thanks for pointing out these fantastic posts. :) I learned a while back that I can no longer keep up with all these blogs. I still try my best but miss a great deal. It’s nice when a few of the best articles are pointed out.

    You’re welcome Priscilla. As you say, one of the best ways to make the most of the list is to point readers in a particular direction.
