Freakin (Great Links) Friday Installment 3 - When I Grow Up

Freakin (Great Links) Friday Installment 3 - When I Grow Up Stay tuned next week for the post on Clearing Out the Attic (if the Attic = my brain) aka I-Got-Punched-In-The-Face-But-It-Got-Rid-Of-My-Anxiety-Because-It-Made-Me-See-Some-Crap-I-Didnt-Wanna-See. Until then, here are some freakin great links: Looking to find something to be passionate about? Or maybe youre looking for a new passion? Scott H Young offers How to Discover What Youre Passionate About (summary: do a bit of everything and see what fits!). Dumb Little Man offers 7 Steps to Zap Your Creativity. And he means zap like boost not like shoot-you-with-a-taser-and-make-you-comatose. My favorite post of the week came from Pick the Brain. As someone who has trouble sticking with goals that make me wait to see results (401K anyone?), Setting Goals for the Present, Not the Future helps you put your goal into the present tense. So instead of saying, Eh, I can save money next year for retirement. Im not going to see it for 35 years anyway! I can say, I better put money away now so I dont have to work the rest of my life! The latter seems scarier for some reason. And of course, the lovely Kelly Rae Roberts has to keep writing beautiful entries (I cant describe them as posts, since I almost feel like Im reading her diary). Buon Giorno shares her experience in Italy also asks for assistance with moving to Seattle (anyone?)! Here are just some personal things Im loving that have nothing to do with coaching or personal development or creativity or any of that junk, but just make me happy: Wally Lamb has a new book! I loved Shes Come Undone but I loved I Know This Much Is True more.   Read the first chapter of The Hour I First Believed. Um, this is a real persons backyard. For real. I miss you, Hawaii. Keith Olbermanns Special Comment regarding Prop 8 is eloquent and heartfelt, no matter your views. The Bloggess always makes me laugh. This post was my fave so far. This might be my favorite aerial shot of NYC. Bright lights and crookedness. Its what New York is about.
