I'm not Steve, but my advice on domain names is to definitely not use generic keywords in it when you can instead brand something memorable.

How silly would it be for Steve's site to be the awfully boring and lame personal-development-forum.com or something else to that effect. Yuk, yuk, yuk.

And the good news is that it won't make an iota of difference to the search engines, if that's what you're worried about.

Your domain name is your brand. Never use a keyworded one when you can use a creative, memorable one.
