Carnival of Self-Mastery - September 9, 2008

Welcome to the September 9, 2008 edition of carnival of self-mastery. My top 3 posts for the week are:

1. Ralph Jean-Paul presents Meet Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere posted at Potential 2 Success, saying, "Have you ever been in a situation where you missed an opportunity to talk to someone that you wanted to meet? Maybe it was because you didn’t know what to do, how to act or what to say. Meeting anyone anytime or anywhere may sound difficult or improbable, but actually, it’s easier than you might think."
2. Daylle Deanna Schwartz presents The Law of Attraction and Service People posted at Lessons from a Recovering DoorMat, saying, "Next time you want great customer service, use the Law of Attraction and kind but effective approaches."
3. Chris Edgar presents The Conventional Career "Wisdom" Isn't So Wise posted at Purpose Power Coaching, saying, "Those of us thinking about a career transition have likely grown accustomed to discouraging advice from others. If we’re excited enough about the calling we want to pursue, we tend to do our best to ignore this advice. Sure, maybe some of it sounds reasonable, we think, but the fulfillment we could experience is worth behaving a little unreasonably. I’m going to suggest here that, in fact, many of the typical objections people make to our desire to change careers, while they’re well-meaning, aren’t “reasonable” at all."
