How can I best go about growing my blog spiritnewsdaily.com?

How to reach people you’ve been reading for over a several years when you want to hear their idea on some new stuff you are doing?

Since I am long time reader, almost never poster, most of the time just lurking and drinking every piece of info you guys post.

However, when I get out of nowhere, and ask something, my comment gets deleted, as it’s considered spam or advertising. That sucks…

Yes I understand that you have to be contributor to community before you ask for opinion, but visitor is also giving his contribution to community.

What are the 3 most influential books you have read that have changed your life?

What are the top 3 things you have done in your life that have pushed you to become the person you are today (the now)? Do you think those 3 things will play an important roll in shaping who you will become tomorrow (the future)?

Thanks, Brett.

I consider myself to be passionate about people. I love interacting with other people, and whether I stand there saying nothing or if I am an active contributor to conversation, I am happy.
However, I feel like people resent both when I am too quiet or when I say weird things or make obnoxiously unnecessary comments. Sometimes, I physically feel myself speaking quietly and then either repeating myself quietly or just giving up. Or I say things that come out as incoherent mush. Obviously, the trick to this is to practice speaking loudly and slowly, really trying to emphasize my points.
But the real issue I have is feeling comfortable contributing to conversation in a constructive manner. I know that practice is key, but that is incredibly vague and semantically weak. What sort of concrete advice can you give me? I’ve been keeping up with @mnmlgeek’s tweets about tracking stuff like this, so do you have any advice about how I can track progress on constructive comments?
I realize that a lot of the answers generated will be vague and the best that I can do is to trust myself and just keep trying, but I’m interested in what you have to say.

Thanks,
Sloan

I have really good ideas, I’m very intelligent, am quite good looking. but i keep having the feeling something is stopping me and i’m not really doing anything, out of.. fear maybe?

How can I overwin myself?

Thanks

Please give some tips for breaking addiction to Internet, especially significant time Easters like Facebook and emails. I find myself distracted and unable to complete tasks in a timely manner. Any search on web invariably leads me astray. Thanks.

Hey Brett,

How do you get out of a motivation slump?

How do you stay disciplined and focused when you have a bad day?

How do you create new habits without forgetting about them 5-6 days after starting them?

And one last question: Your top 10 books. Fiction and Non-Fiction

I know I have a lot of questions But it is just a cool opportunity:)

Thanks a lot. Keep doing what your doing. it’s awesome

Hi Brett.

My question here shall be:

Were/are you worried that someone would ask you something you wouldn’t want to answer?

Cool stuff here, it shows you have confidence sir.

Hello Brett,

I think I suffer from SAD (social anxiety disorder), I am terrified at the thought of speaking or performing in public, and lately I even find it difficult to drink in front of other people, my hand starts to shake.

What do you advise me to do?

Thanks a lot!

first off, kudos for a great blog – i love reading your posts and am always incredibly motivated after reading them as i am always looking to grow and become more successful. i truly think you have a gift for writing and touching that motivational nerve in which we all encompass. im glad that you have given your readers the ability to ask you questions. normally, i would never reply, but since you said you would answer each and every question, i thought this would be worth the time to write as i do have a few questions for you, personal and professional..
1) do you ever feel that people will think you are young and naive to be as optimistic as you are because of your age?
2) i’ve been following this blog since glen was writing (i think that was his name), then he passed the torch, and then that person passed the torch – i think you may be the fourth person deep.. anyway, do you guys get any compensation for writing these posts? why did the first 3 guys pass the buck?
3) whats your take on having a successful job, great education, loving family, good friends, but still single because you havent met the right person – all while majority of your friends are married with kids. do you think being in a relationship would help define / complete a person? or is it a void that needs to be filled.
4) how would you go about coaching someone to discover new hobbies – i feel like im the star of groundhog day.
5) if you realized that when hanging with majority of you friends it always revolved around drinking – would you steer clear of them? what the heck else is there to do with friends other than eat and/or drink??
6) i dont think youve told us much about you – how old are you? where do u live? girlfriend? where do u go to school? what is your major? what do you do on the weekdays/ends for fun? are you an entrepreneur? what businesses have you started – were they successfull/fail? not a stalker, just curious.
thanks for taking the time to read this – looking forward to your reply.
have a great thanksgiving.

You asked for it, so here it goes:

1. Do you think Life and this Earthly Reality, ie: our human’s Purpose and life, mostly only revolve around Money?
or there IS actually a higher purpose than it?

2. Do you think Life is really, truly *worth* living,
even if amidst all the pains and sufferings and problems?

3. What do you think is truly our (each of us) Purpose for LIVING,
only to die and become non-existent eventually?

Appreciate your honesty, and would appreciate it even more if you’d answer these nagging questions of mine with your insights and wisdom.

I have a couple of questions I’d like to ask, if that’s okay.

The first one, and the one I’m most desperately seeking an answer for, is about breaking free of one’s comfort zone. I’m in my mid 20′s, and until the past year or so, I was quite content with the lifestyle I was living. That’s no longer the case, however, and I’m failing miserably at making any sort of progress toward changing that. In order to move forward, I need to find a way to clear my mind of years of conditioning about how things “should be done” and break out of my comfort zone. The fear of stepping outside those boundaries is so strong that every time I even think about trying something new, fear takes over and feels almost like it’s physically holding me back. How should I go about pushing that aside and allowing myself to experience new things?

My second question is about meeting people who are driven to succeed. Almost all of my friends are in the same situation with their lives as I am, and being around so many people who just “go with the flow” of things isn’t helping me build my ideal lifestyle any faster. What’s the best way to meet more people who truly know what they want in life and are giving it their all to get there? Should I feel bad about trying to find and develop relationships with these types of people in hopes that some of their passion might rub off on me?

I apologize for the lengthy post, and I offer my thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give.

i was starting this topic at yahooask and my blog.
I just wonder , what is your opinion to :

“which one is more important, talent or good personality?”

and give me a basic reasoning please.
Thank you in advance

Here are my questions:

1. What is the best goal one can have for life? (I think riches or fame are no worthy goals as they do not give you lasting happiness. What is your opinion on the same?)

2. What is your opinion about self-love? How important is it in life? In terms of attracting love and happiness?

Thanks in advance!

When someone has helped you financially and then, to your surprise, you later find out they expect to run your life, what do you do?

Hello Brett,

Seems you’ve got a lot to answer to, good luck with that.
I’m asking the same as Lynne above, as it’s something I’ve been struggling with a lot lately :

How to break addiction to internet ?!

It’s crazy how often I find myself refreshing the page over and over, expecting something new (especially on Facebook and Twitter), it’s eating ALL my time and I feel exhausted at the end of the day even though I’ve been doing nothing. The harder part is that I have a website and I need to update the Facebook page nearly everyday, answer questions there… I need to go there at least once a day “just to check”.
But now it’s really turning into a nightmare, I feel trapped in it, and it’s holding me back in both my studies and my life.

THANKS a loooot Brett, great job you’re doing here

Dear brett,

When can we expect answers??

Thanks for doing this!!
Jasper

Hi Brett,

I’m an Artist and I want to start a blog. I’ve set up my blog, FB page, Twitter account etc but now I feel stuck.
I can tell stories about my artwork, show photos of current projects, make videos, tutorials etc but I think I need to have another angle to the blog. I feel it will be too boring otherwise. I want to add some value also.
I could maybe write about my experiences setting up a new Art blog, Etsy shop, Print on demand account, Zazzle shop etc as I haven’t sold online before.
So I guess my question to you is, If you were an Artist and you wanted to sell your work online and blog about it but also not come across as just wanting to sell your stuff. How would you go about it?

Thanks

Hello Brett,
Thanks for taking the time to connect with your readers like this. I would like to ask for advice on my self confidence. I have trouble making friends and interacting with people in general. It feels much easier to do so on the internet than in real life. There have been various situations where I see an opportunity to go and talk to people and get to meet/know them but I always let those windows of opportunity pass. When I am with some people that I am acquainted with, I find it hard to find things to say or don’t say things when something that I can talk about does pop up in the conversation. So what are some basic steps to being more sociable and open?

Also, I am currently in university although I don’t know what I want to do. I just completed my first year there by doing a bunch of random courses. I picked maths as my major but I really don’t want to pursue that pathway. I had intended to just improve my grades and get into dentistry but I realised that that is not something I’d like to do. What should I do?

Thanks again for your time and dedication.

What makes a company world class?

Just discovered your blog and I am amazed at such wisdom for your years!

If you had the chance to live forever, would you take it?

Why should people listen to you if you haven’t achieved any real significant success?

Don’t mean to be harsh, just a fair and honest answer will due…=)
