One excellent website for personal development is www.stevepavlina.com. I can’t claim to know all that much about Mr Pavlina, and I haven’t read a great deal of the site, but there was one article on there which was very interesting to me.

Deciding What to Do With Your Life

Obviously this is something we all think about. At my age, and particularly in my situation at the moment, it’s something I’m spending a great deal of time thinking about. We all want to make the right decisions for the right reasons, and to see those decisions through and make sure they’re successful. I’ve not got the insight or abililty to muse on this subject as Mr Pavlina does, but I will say that it is genuinely nice to read something that makes you feel in control, encouraged and energised to do what you think is best. I don’t want to be someone who plays it safe in life; there are things I want to do, things I think I would love to do, and the only thing stopping me doing them is myself. Reading that article, and others on the site, have made me see that I can do it, and even that I should do it.

When I have a more in-depth plan over what I want to do I’ll post it here. I think I could really get into this self-improvement malarkey.
