		<description><![CDATA[@ Hilary -- Thank you.

I was flipping through my old posts, and I landed on &quot;Find Your One Thing.&quot;  When I landed on that, I remembered how important it is to find that one thing.  And each of us has our own one thing.

Sometimes other people help us find our one thing.  One way to find that is to ask your friends that know you best -- what is the one book they would want you to write for them?  When you know the book that others want from you, it&#039;s a metaphor for your legacy, and the gifts you share with the world, whether or not you actually write the book.

You have a gift for stringing together insights from past and present in a meaningful way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi JD .. thankfully I realised very early on - I didn&#039;t need &#039;rubbish&#039; and have filtered .. I do read too many author blogs = blogging friends ... somewhere along the line I have to decide where I&#039;m going and how etc .. that time is now here.

My mind is filtering and sifting, but as yet nothing has materialised - which to me is strange, as I usually can visualise where I&#039;m going and let that refine itself - leaving me ready to go, when the time is right.  I&#039;m sure it&#039;ll come - there&#039;s still a fair amount going on and life will now get easier in the coming months .. 

Reading blogs .. is to get to the point of a daily list - if not - miss them and move on ... some I love to read and don&#039;t want to miss (as yours) ... cheers for now - Hilary]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ Evelyn -- So true -- shared values really are the lightening rod.  It&#039;s amazing how much the choices, the focus, the topics, and the words express the energy that connects us or repels us ... or intrigues us.

Personal development is saturated, and yet I see so much opportunity to take things to the next level.  I do plan to inject more project management and more strategy in the coming months.  I think business skills for life, are also a big deal.  I think it&#039;s these blends that help work blend with life, and life blend with workd ... to where we are simply on a path of personal growth, driving from who we want to be, and creating experiences that we want to create.

@ Vidya -- Thank you.  

I try to stay true to the mission and the vision.  I&#039;m actually reimanging my blogging process, and finding ways to tune, improve, and streamline it to flow more value.

I&#039;ve covered a lot of terrain, but I see many ways to take my game to the next level ... it&#039;s a process ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Priceless post, as always, J.D. It is a fact that with the overload of fantastic blogs out there, we must devise a way to keep on top without the time overload. :-) One blog I just enjoy reading is yours. I usually subscribe via email to the blogs I love and enjoy reading them in my mailbox. And then, of course, there is the commenting which also needs a time investment.

Thank you for an excellent post! 
Love, Vidya]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you, J.D, for highlighting about my blog.  

It is true. I had found it hard to keep up with following that many blogs.  So I select the few topics that I am interested to learn and follow the relevant blog.  I also to enjoy going to a blog or two to simply soak in the energy there.  In a way, it is the values of the blogger that bring out a certain energy which can be felt through his or her site. 

I like your blog for its practical application of personal development.  I have found your tips useful and they also keep me focused.  Your tip on values on this particular post is priceless too.  Thanks for sharing :-)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@ Catherina -- There is one other benefit I forgot to mention.   When we pick more strategic choices, we actually recharge and renew our energy.

If you find yourself reading a bunch of stuff that sucks your life force out, it is likely that you are consuming a lot of information that is just not relevant or insightful or actionable enough.  When you read more blogs that connect with your values, they lift you, and give you great strength ... and that&#039;s a big deal.]]></description>

This is a just in time information for me! I am troubled with information overload and tons of bookmarking of informative website.
I shall start to practise what you suggested.

		<description><![CDATA[@ Davina -- I&#039;m actually wondering what&#039;s next when it comes to information overload.

The pendulum always swings, and I wonder where it wants to swing next.

I have seen patterns over time how information gets treated.  I need to think more on this.  If I just think about some SEO trends, I have noticed that there is more demand for &quot;specific&quot; information vs. &quot;general.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love your perspective on this, JD. Focusing on your values is a great approach, as is viewing blogs as an information portfolio. Something about the word &quot;portfolio&quot; catches my attention. 

This does make a lot of sense if you consider information overload. When you&#039;re focusing on your values you will feel more easily satisfied and will not feel like you have to seek more information. Most of what you read may be lost if you&#039;re running in circles hunting for more. It does get tiring.]]></description>
