A very truthful anecdote comparing working out at the gym to the challenge of life for all of us.

Symptoms of inner peace
This is one of the better ones I found this week. The blogger does a great job laying out “symptoms” of inner peace, I sure want these symptoms, how about you?

This 26 year old blogger has a great point here. Integrity is the one thing you should strive for at all costs. Great post and a blog worth looking deeper into.

A quick and easy way to foster more love in your marriage is to simply include your spouse in the things you do. This is a guestblog I wrote for a true bloggy friend of mine Chelle at “It Might be Love.” Check it out.

A very clever take on the phrase “the one who got away.”

Psychology Today: The Creative Personality
This post will help some of you see traits about yourself. It’s not a guide to becoming creative but rather an objective rendering of what creative people are generally like. Interesting.

The Age Blogs: Management Line
Wow. Who ever imagined someone would challenge personality tests like the Meyers Briggs … and make sense doing so! I mean these can be used as enablers as well, as in when people complain in drug rehab about being this or that “way” from birth. Shouldn’t alcohol rehab be a time of reckoning? Of course it should. This author brings into focus whether these tests are 100% helpful or not. What is your take on this revolutionary post??

Great safari! I enjoyed the Inner Peace symptoms, especially the “very serious” one! Ever since Malcolm did a post on a rude blogger’s techniques, I’ve been reading some articles about blogging. Lately, there seems to be a “why do you blog?” theme happening.

There’s even a personality test to find out what kind of blogger you are based on the reasons you blog! LOL I’m going to write about it today.

I’m curious…do you ever take those personality tests and do you think they’re accurate sometimes?

So far I have turned up the exact same thing on the Meyers-Briggs (which this guy rips apart) since 18. I’ve been told by a therapist that is rare since most people tend to change their type. Basically it means I make decisions more:

I introverted (me Lol)
N intuition rather than other people’s input
F based on feelings more than data/facts
P perception

That’s how I remember it being explained.

I think these are great when you are looking for a job. Mine all said “Teacher!”

I’ll look for that “Why do you blog” of yours.
