Default Personal Development for Smart People Study Group Day 1: The Strangest Secret

[This post is part of the Personal Development for Smart People Study Group, which is going through Steve's blog posts from the very beginning and discussing them.]

Note: the real first post is "First Post" - but it doesn't have much room for discussion

The Strangest Secret

In this post, Steve discusses personal development speaker Earl Nightingale's classic recording "The Strangest Secret"

Major points:
1. We become what we think about.
2. We can consciously choose our thoughts, which will change our subconscious mind and consequently change the actions that we take.
3. It is important to choose thoughts that help us achieve our goals instead of thoughts that prevent us from achieving our goals.
4. If you want different results in life, deliberately change your dominant thoughts.
5. Push past the doubt and see your new reality working as you want it to.
6. When you have successfully changed your beliefs and feel the time is right, take action.

Update: You can read the entire thing on the Nightingale Conant web site here:
Nightingale-Conant presents Earl Nightingale

That's a great idea! I was going to suggest having a table of content that linked to all the different post-thread in a post, but you can't do it since you can't edit your own post after 24 hours. Perhaps you can have the table of content linking to all of the different threads on your own website?

Moderators can edit any threads, no matter how old, so if you find a moderator who's willing to do the updates for you now and then...

It could work well as a sticky thread too.

Great idea, seeker5 & Steve!

Later today I'll make a post with links to all the threads based on Steve's blog entries that were generated automatically since the forums started. Then one of the mods can make it a sticky and update it occasionally with links to the threads that I make which are based on Steve's earlier blog posts.

If you just drop me a PM with whatever you want changed or updated when you want it such on this board, i will do it. Just let me know.

The other thing.. I noticed you said you were thinking of putting up a new post per day? i was thinking it might be better do it more infrequently, basically wait until the talk on each thread dies down. What do you think?

Good point, Adrienne - how about Monday/Wednesday/Friday (USA time)?

What does everybody think?

Judging that now we currently have usually 2 of steve's current posts that people are debating at the same time, i would agree. My big thing is i want people to be able to discuses the topic in depth without feeling like they have to keep up with 10 threads. I would say we can start there, but i think we might end up wanting to push it back a bit, depending on how many people participate in the discussion and how heated it gets.

Well, if Steve would stop posting perhaps. But considering Steve makes a post every few days, then this review will never be able to catch up to Steve if you wait until the talk on the thread is over.

True But i thought this was only covering the posts that were not already in the forum which would mean there is a finite amount which means we will eventually catch up.

Oh. I went back to Zukin's original post and saw that's true. So it is a finite number. Though that finite number is a large number. How many posts? I'd guessestimate 400 or so?

Zukin/Steve - that's great that about the sticky linking to the threads!
