You know something? I love this little blog. http://www.karlblog.com/ Every couple of days, I take time out to post messages to this blog - usually connected with self-development and inspiration. And I get some fantastic feedback, too. Great messages from even greater individuals, to whom the messages mean something at that point in their lives. In fact, it's surprising how often these messages seem to get to the right people at the right time. Today, this message is really intended for you. You see, I'm on a mission to increase the popularity of this blog. By Christmas, I'd love to see my subscriber numbers having boosted by at least 20%. That's why I'd like to ask you to recommend my blog! Post a review on your own website or blog. Forward this e-mail to your friends, and suggest they visit. Zap a quick message to your mailing list. Chat about the site in a forum. Do it now if you can. Suggest that people subscribe directly, using the box in the top-right hand corner of every Karl Blog.com page. Or invite them to subscribe via RSS/XML using the links on the right-hand sidebar. Or hint they should add my site to their favourites. But if you can, please spread the word. Today, if possible. All of your help and support is really very much appreciated. I'm on a mission. And I know you can help! Thank you for your time! :) Labels: blog stuff, recommendations
Today, a quick post about My Writers Circle. For those that don't know, I own and run the popular writers forum online at www.mywriterscircle.com. It enjoys over 7000 members from across the globe, and is headed by prolific author Nick Daws. I'm writing to say congratulations to the community today. Firstly, because it recently made the Writer's Digest 101 Best Sites list - for the second year running. And secondly, because the book created by members of the community - "Station Shorts" - is continuing to sell fantastically well, with 5-star ratings. I'm proud to be part of such a community. Congratulations to everybody involved! :) Labels: blog stuff, writing

These days, everyone wants your attention. Everything is done in Internet time. The world is rush-rush, Microwave Meal, Buy-It-Now. We forget to spend a few minutes each day... with ourselves.

Just a quick post today. On Wednesday evening, the wonderous Rebecca Marina of Celebration Healing will be interviewing myself on spirituality, productivity, single-dom - and will be giving away a whole bundle of free gifts along the way.

David Riklan is the man behind the #1 personal development site on the Internet, Self Growth.com. Some time ago, he called me a "Bubbling Buddha." I'm not sure whether that was a hint I should be losing a few pounds. But today, he's sending out a special message to all of his 250,000 loyal subscribers - recommending they visit my blog. That's why I'm about to repost a series of blog articles I've written over the past year - which have really made an impact on people. The kind of posts that have resulted in a mass of mail hitting my inbox. Within the coming posts, I'm sure you'll find something that applies directly to you. In your life. Right now. That's usually how it works. And any new subscribers can also get a taste of what they can expect from this blog. So - enjoy this small regurgitation, and have a great Thursday!

It's about time this blog had it's own theme tune. That's why myself, Artist X and his gang have been working furiously over the past couple of months to create "This Time" ... the official song of Karl Blog.com! Below, you can find details of the entire experience -- including studio shots, lyrics, and more. I helped write the lyrics and style the song... and you can hear "Karl Blog!" sung repeatedly at the end of the track. It's beautiful! :) And this inspirational little song is coming your way tomorrow. Want to listen to the studio chatter, and hear a sneak preview of different parts of the song? Click HERE to listen to the behind-the-scenes chatter! Karl Blog.com Song Lyrics I’m free just like the sky above
like the space between ourselves and us
it’s all around you
I let go of the voice inside
no need to cling to thoughts and time
there’s nothing to hold onto and it feels so nice
to be here in this space and time
and you and I
lose ourselves outside our minds
and love
a feeling that is deep inside
and I feel alright
happy just to be alive
this time each moments rises right on time
they never miss a beat and I
go with the flow around me you can’t touch me where I am
I’m further from the place I’ve been
just wait and soon we’ll all see and it feels so nice
to be here in this space and time
and you and I
lose ourselves outside our minds
and love
a feeling that is deep inside
and I feel alright
happy just to be alive
this time It’s always morning somewhere in the world
wherever you may roam
There’s nothing good or bad here at all
but thinking makes it so
If you always do what you’ve always done
you’ll get more of what you’ve had
A ship is safe in harbor but that’s not what it’s for
live each day like it’s the last Karl Blog! Karl Blog! Karl Blog! Karl Blog!

This evening, a quick personal question to my dearest blog readers. I'm trying to remember the name of a certain expressive dance style, popular in the world of self-growth. It's called something like the Five Dances, or the Four Movements. But I just can't remember the name. Can you? What is it? Just post a comment at www.karlblog.com to let me know, or reply if you're reading by e-mail. Thank you! :) "In life, as in chess, forethought wins."

This time last year, I made a koan.
I promised to post daily here at Karl Blog.com for a whole year.
And I've done it!
Every day, I've posted at least one message -- sometimes many. I've posted a whole bundle of Random Acts of Kindness, and an awesome series of Friday Factoids.
Occassionally, I've missed a day or two.
But, apparently, I'm only human.
It's been an amazing experience. I've found that being forced into writing each day has really kick-started my spirituality at the points I needed it most. I've discovered everything -- from the true size of our universe to the secret history of the keyboard. And I've done more RAKs than ever before -- especially on a Monday.
Yes -- daily blog writing is a koan I'd recommend to anyone.
(Incidentally, due to increased business matters, I've yet to decide what I'm going to do in future. I expect that during 2008 my blog posts will become slightly less frequent -- however hopefully much deeper than ever before!)
So... my question today is...
What's YOUR koan for 2008? (Learn more here.)
What can YOU do that will stretch your boundaries? What challenge will change your life?
What kind of new person will you be in exactly 366 days time? (Yup, 2008 is a leap year!)
As Mahatma Gandhi says... "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
Do it!
Your seconds on this earth are limited -- and are continuously being frittered away reading crazy posts like this.
Go, start living -- and enjoy every second!Labels: blog stuff, inspiration, ramblings
Wonder what sort of people read this blog?
Brilliant people, of course.
And if you'd like to chat with a few of them, then I'd like to invite you to discover my forum online at http://www.karlforum.com/
Discuss spirituality, self-development, factoids, Random Acts of Kindness and MORE!
Stop by and post a message on the Welcome Board, today!
I'd love to see you there :)

It's cracking up six days since my last post...
Life has recently taken a few twists and turns for me, meaning I've been unable to post to this blog, or even access a PC, over the past week or so.
But rest assured: I'm always here and thinking of exactly what to ponder about next!
In fact, something curious happened to me just a few moments ago...
Stay tuned for the next post!
Remember, you can also visit www.karlforum.com, where I hope to make my presence known again very shortly.

Did you know that this blog has it's own forum?
Admittedly, I don't exactly do the world's greatest job at publicizing it... But if you'd like to enjoy fascinating conversation with inspiring individuals from around the globe, then Karl Forum is the place for you!
It's for fun, switched-on individuals that enjoy being inspired, sharing Random Acts of Kindness, and wasting time talking about weird factoids! You'll love it. I promise.

What messages on this blog have had the most impact on you?
Every day for almost a year now, I've posted messages designed to inspire, uplift and develop. Ironically, more often than not they've had a profound impact on me.
Yesterday's post "Who Are You?" made a lot of people really think -- and inspired around forty messages in my inbox, as well as chat at Karl Forum.com.
And so, today, I'm posting a list of the blog posts that have raised a good chunk of feedback -- typically thirty messages or more.
Maybe -- just maybe -- these will have an impact on you, too.
Enjoy - and Happy Thursday! :)

Today, I have a BIG announcement.
Over the past couple of months, I've received a lot of feedback from individuals wanting to connect with a bigger community of inspired friends.
They want to chat with the other individuals that read THIS blog.
I'm talking about the sort of people that are upbeat and positive. People that love sharing inspirational stories. Giving individuals that practice Random Acts of Kindness.
And of course, crazy people that love Friday Factoids!
Well, today, the wish is granted.
I've just launched a brand new FORUM... where friendly individuals from across the globe can get together to share their stories and help each other out.
It's EXPERIMENTAL, yes -- so I can't say for sure it'll work.
But I'd like to think that we can get a really friendly international community going here, one based on nothing but the simplicity of friendship.
And so, today, if you're interested... I'd like to ask that you please stop by the forum and register!
It'll probably be a little unusual to start off with, but we'll soon overcome that. I've posted the first message (actually the third, I was beat already!)... and I'm awaiting your response.
Remember, the forum may be called KarlForum.com -- but it's definitely NOT about me. Tsk, how egotistical! It's just about spreading the enjoyment of life.
So please visit the site at www.karlforum.com
Or to register directly, click here.
Thank you so much :)
(Oh, and I'll be looking out for moderators too. If you're interested, drop me a line and put "BPSF" in the subject line to bypass my spam filter.)Labels: blog stuff, factoids, recommendations
