Hi, welcome to Life Compass Blog. On February 10, we started to make some changes in the layout and design of the site. It might take us a week or so until the dust settles. Still need to work on new header design, background color, etc. If you find a link that isn’t working, please let us know. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your patience!

Today, Life Compass Blog turns “1”.  Thank you for reading…and thanks to everyone who has shared a comment or a story from their personal journey over the last year.

I just read about ProBlogger’s 7 link challenge, which is to write a blog post that links to 7 other posts from your blog or other blogs.

Since Life Compass Blog just turned 1, I thought this would be a great time to take up the challenge, so here we go…

1. Your first post – My first blog post, written one year ago today, was Welcome to Life Compass, and it gave some basic info on why I am writing this blog.
2. A post you enjoyed writing the most – Wow, I’m having a hard time picking the one I enjoyed writing the most.  Here’s one that I originally wrote as a guest post at FreeMoneyFinance and the posted on my blog: Warren Buffet’s Best Investment Advice:  Invest in Yourself.
3. A post which had a great discussion – Here are two related posts had great discussion: How to Reach Your Full Potential Part 1:  Take a Good Look at Yourself and How to Reach Your Full Potential Part 2: Clarify Your Purpose in Life.
4. A post on someone else’s blog that you wish you’d written – Actually, instead of a blog post, this is an e-book I wish I had written:  5 Biblical Keys to Changing Your Life.
5. Your most helpful post – The Other 8 Hours:  How a Little Change in Your Habits Will Make a Big Difference.
6. A post with a title that you are proud of – Think You’re Too Young, Too Old, or Too Late to Achieve Your Dreams?
7. A post that you wish more people had read – Taking Action:  The Miracle of the First Step.

Do you have a suggestion on how to make this site better, or an idea for an article you’d like to see here?  If so, please share it in the comments section below.  Thank you!

When I began Life Compass, I put together a list of reasons why you might want to listen to what I have to say on topics like how to change your life, how to maintain work-life balance, and how to achieve your dreams.

I was recently thinking of some reasons why you should NOT listen to me:

1. I don’t have it all figured out yet; nor do I have all the answers.
2. I still struggle from time to time with maintaining balance in certain areas of my life.
3. I still struggle with some habits (like drinking lots of Coke) that keep me from achieving some of my dreams (like weight loss)
4. I’m not an “expert” or a “guru.”
5. I’m a slow learner – I’ve had to learn some lessons more than once or twice.
6. I don’t have a lot of experience.  I’m not quite 40, and I’ve only been pursuing a more balanced and meaningful lifestyle for 10 years.

So, these are some of the reasons why I think you should not listen to me.

But, if you want to ride along with me on the journey to create more freedom, purpose and fulfillment in our lives and work, I’ll welcome your companionship, thoughts, and ideas.
