The question in the headline is mostly aimed at myself. But I think everyone,from time to time, should ask them selves the same. Are you really doing the best you possibly can?
Lack of inspiration
The reason I ask myself this question is because I have been experiencing a lack of inspiration lately. Lack of inspiration is something I would rather not experience at all, but especially not right now. The Personal Development Blog is still so young and I am working hard to get it established. But am I working hard enough? Am I giving it my absolute best?
I know that the best way to attract a loyal readership is to create good content. I think that for an article to be good, it needs to contain information that is not easily found elsewhere on the internet. So that is what I need to focus on in the future.
In spite of my lack of inspiration, I have actually seen an increase of readers on this blog. It makes me very happy to see that Personal Development is important to so many people. It also makes me feel that I have a responsibility towards all of you.
Positive feedback
One thing that really motivates me is feedback from my readers. I have received a lot of it since I started the free eBook service, and later on, this blog. Just reading all the positive feedback makes me all warm inside. It looks like I have actually made an impact on someones lives.
Here are just a few of them wich I have received by email:
“This is venkatesh from india.I am very much thankful to you for your free personaldevelopmentbooks.”
–
“Thank you so much for your faithful supply of Personal
–
Development eBooks. The books are helpful, and I’m now
better than I was. I’m looking foward to hear from you soon. Thank you.”
–
“I received all books and gone through. All the books are mind blowing. Actually, before reading all this book my mind was wandering, now I am some controlling my mind and concentrating in one subject at time. Thanks for helping people. My sincere thanks to you. Hope u will send more books.”
–
“I would like to know from whom should I get the permission to translate these books or any other book I would receive in the future from you to Arabic language? If the book is too old and it’s not possible to contact the author or the publisher can I get the permission from you? As you know it is not possible to publish any translated book here in Saudi Arabia unless there is a permission.”
–
“Thanks a lot for your free books. I found it very usefull and meaningfull..in much time i shared those with people who was down…the books are inspiring…
I believe SHARING mean adding not losing (If i share with someone else i would add meaning to that person and add my lifevalue…i never lose anything cause of sharing)
I think i learn that from you indirectly.”
–
“Just a quick note to say thanks for the books.
I really do appreciate the help!”
–
“Hi Jarle,
Its great!
Thank you for the opportinuty to have access to so much of knowledge.”
–
“Hi Jarle
I’m just back from reading your blog. It’s fantastic.
I have been receiving your free Personal Development Ebooks for about 2
months and while I do want to read and study them I find myself
with a very bad case of Information Overload. So I download the books and
print them out, with every intention of reading them but alas I still have a
pile of unread books. Suppose I should build reading ebooks into my Goal
Setting.”

My promise to you
Reading through all the feedback is extremely motivating for me. It makes me realize that I need to do better. I need to get all this incredibly valuable information out to more people. I will promise you this: I will do my absolute best to accomplish that.
Will you too do the best you possibly can to reach your goals?
