Last week I ordered by email, and received, a new set of bike training rollers for indoor training.  I ordered them from a special advertised by a bike shop in Osaka.  They had great deals on two models, the basic model at an excellent price, and another with all of the extras for close to double the price.  […]

Walking to a new life

About 3 months ago I met a lady in the park.  Well “met” isn’t exactly what I mean.  We actually started sharing the same running paths at the same time.  The day that I first saw her, I distinctly remember thinking how terrible she looked.  She was overweight, in a big way and it looked […]

If only the world had a Stumble button

No matter how creative our thinking, and how diverse our range of experiences, we still tend to stick to familiar patterns.  Without thinking about it we go to familiar places, we meet with familiar people, we eat, watch, listen to and otherwise consume familiar inputs.  We are creatures of habit and this saves us from […]

Weekly Review 24-9-07

 This is the weekly review of my own personal development progress.  I jot it down and publish it here in rough form to keep me honest and motivated and also to let you see a bit more of my life.  Read it if you are interested, and if you like, send me a glimpse of your […]

What is Life Goal Action?

LifeGoalAction is now 2 months old, so I have decided it is time for a quick over view of what it is about and why it exists.
Before I launched this site, I did some research about what was available online.  As I searched the internet for information about life skills and personal development, I found a mass of different sites.  Finding […]

What does your life cost?

From time to time I think it is good for all of us to try and work out what is the total cost of our lives and our lifestyle.  Accountants will see this very differently from environmentalists.  Psychologists will come up with different results to politicians.  What is the cost of your life on yourself […]

When was the last time you really laughed?

When was it?
I’m not asking you when you last thought something was funny.  That is totally different.  I am asking when did you outwardly, physically, audibly and genuinely laugh? 
I hope it was today, but I would be satisfied if it was yesterday.  My fear is that a lot of people go for days, weeks and even months […]

Derrick Kwa’s story

The first, of what I hope will be a series, of stories from LifeGoalAction readers comes form Derrick Kwa.  Derrick is a very impressive individual to say the least.  I have been following his blog, Sui Generis for the last couple of months and he always seems to have an interesting angle on a topic.  This is made […]

Will you be the next Superhero…Please?

Superheroes are brave, capable, and strong.  They have morals, power, and enemies.  They help the weak, overcome evil, and give their world another chance.  They are role models, responsible, and tireless.  But most of all, they are in short supply.
Apart from between the covers of comic books, Superheroes are a species that is practically extinct.  Men […]

When you miss a goal

There are times in the real world when you don’t meet your goals.  No matter how hard you try, something comes in the way of your success and you are disappointed.  Perhaps conditions that you predicted, change.  Maybe something higher up in your priorities harms your performance.  Maybe you were just too ambitious when you made your goals. 
The good […]
