1) Breathing Prosperity - In the wonderful post 'Personal Development: Who’s Calling the Shots?', Shauna asks us to consider the true motivations behind the life that we live each day. A lot of people may be way off track!

2) Steve Pavlina - Sometimes we just make things harder on ourselves than they really need to be, and Steve's post 'How to Make Smart Decisions in Less Than 60 Seconds' offers a great way to simplify the decision making process.

3) Debra Moorehead - Speaking of simplifying things, Debra's post 'What is “Self Improvement” Anyway?' does a smashing job of demonstrating what that phrase really means. Totally awesome stuff, and be sure to read through to the end to see a great example of this concept in real life.

4) Zen Habits - When Leo asked his audience to give up their best kept weight loss secrets, they responded in a big way, and he was kind enough to compile a list of the most popular in a post called '80 Awesome Weight Loss Tips'.

5) Success from the Nest - Tony D. Clark had a great idea that he turned into a challenge for his readers. It is time well spent when you consider the concept of 'Your Childhood Dreams Fulfilled'. 

6) Genius Types - There is too much wisdom and truth contained in Brian Lee's post 'The Perfect Time to Start Never Comes' for me to summarize it all here. Just trust me - you want to read that post!

7) Jane Chin - I love how this edition of the Link Love series has so many "you-centric" posts, and Jane's awesome piece called 'If You Were to Go back in Time…' is no different. Tune in as she advises her younger self to stay in touch with her own needs and desires, rather than those of society.

8) Craig Harper - Known for his lengthy (but time well spent!) blog posts, Craig chimes in with a short post this time around, but it is still power-packed with a potential slap in the face. Be sure to check out 'That's it; I'm DEFINITELY CHANGING (some time soon)'.

9) Zen Chill Power Tools - With another great entry that speaks up about what is really important in life - as well as some great insights into the concept - check out 'The Power of Fun and Play' by Raymond David Salas.

Blogs that have featured Today is that Day:

The Personal Development Blog included the post 'Self Improvement Hack: I am NOT that kind of person!' along with a short list of other great reading, so I was in very good company there. Much obliged!

My buddy Lyman over at Creating a Better Life was rightfully handed the Bloggers for Positive Global Change award which he then passed on to me as well as several other high quality bloggers. Lyman, my sincerest thanks! I would have tagged you, Rick at Shards of Consciousness, and Steve Olson as well, so you already beat me to half of my list! :) I'll ask Christine Kane, Edward Mills, and Dave Olson to play along, too.

The always smiling Christy over at Christy's Coffee Break also bestowed a cool honor upon me this week, and apparently my blog is able to call upon the power of SCHMOOZE, which, well, I think is pretty cool! It's all about being warm and friendly as she says, and I'll certainly take that. Thanks, Christy!

Blog Carnivals that have recently included posts from Today is that Day:

And finally, in a VERY WONDERFUL addition to the Blog Carnival world, Karen Lynch - a frequent contributor to this Link Love series - has started a brand new blog carnival called Live the Power Unlimited.

Karen is a rock-solid individual, and I have no doubt that her new project will be a smashing success. Be sure to swing by and check out one of the Today is that Day posts along with a host of other high quality content at the very first edition of Live the Power Unlimited!

Wow, what a great list of links and content that came together this week! With the 4th of July, I was behind on my reading, but it took me very little time to scare up this week's list because there was so much to choose from. Continued congratulations to all of our wonderful writers for their success, and continued gratitude to each of the readers who make it all worthwhile!

1) Leo Chiang - There is a common misconception that you need to have your full lot of success before you can begin celebrating it. That, of course, is ridiculous, and in his post Ode to Happiness, Leo truly leads by example with an award-winning attitude even though he is still struggling with the same issues that most people face on their path to glory.

2) The Good Life - In her post Going From a Mindset of Lack to a Mindset of Abundance Maria Palma shares 2 excellent and easy to implement tips to help you keep your state of mind exactly where it needs to be for success.

3) Dr. Graf - Anyone who truly understands the Law of Attraction knows that it is all about feeling good, and humor is one of the best ways to do just that - even if it is at the expense of the movie 'The Secret'! Funny stuff - Shhhh…Funny Video Mocks THE SECRET

4) Behind the Glasses - Grigor shares with us some excellent advice on parenting that I think many of today's parents would be wise to internalize. Check out Don’t be a friend to your child for all the details.

5) Steve Olsen - Steve wrote a great piece about a recent article that compares "normal" people to "mentally disordered" people, and it has started a lively debate about which of those subsets are better off. Highly recommended reading: Self-Delusion or Reality?

6) The Urban Monk - Albert has put together a list of 16 top tips for awakening creativity and innovation and I was grateful for finding some truly out of the box thinking in his post. Good stuff!

7) Live the Power - Karen shares some great scientific information that points us to the fact that our bodies have real power. For anyone who wasn't already 100% sure of that, be sure to check out The DNA Phantom Effect.  

Blogs that have featured Today is that Day:

I would like to personally thank both Jeri at Smug Puppies and Steven Aitchison at Change Your Thoughts for doing a great job of promoting the 10,000 Fists to Freedom Challenge - thank you both!

The Living the Scientific Life blog encouraged their readership to check out the Doing it Differently Blog Carnival, which I think is just totally awesome! Thanks for the endorsement, and get those submissions in - the next edition will be posted on July 1st, 2007! 

Blog Carnivals that have recently included posts from Today is that Day:

Hueina Su hosted the 72nd Edition of the Carnival of Healing at her blog. Congratulations on the running success of that Carnival! The Today is that Day post that was included was 'How to Help Yourself and Everyone Else at the Same Time', and there is plenty of other awesome content there as well, so be sure to check it out.

Thanks to all of this week's authors and readers, and a special thank you to everyone who is continuing to make the 10,000 Fists to Freedom Challenge such a success! My hat is off to each and every one of you!

1) Travis Eneix - In one of those moments that makes you say "Wow, I can't believe I didn't think of that," Travis brings us the very cool post (and concept), If You Don’t Like It, Put It Back On The Rack.

2) The Personal MBA - Speaking of simple, it doesn't get much easier than JP Morgan’s Guaranteed Formula for Success. A needed reminder in today's world of more tools and systems than you can shake a stick at.

3) Escape from Cubicle Nation - In another moment of clarity that is worth internalizing, Pamela brings us the post Your "confusion" at making a big change is more likely fear of the truth. Highly recommended reading. Take your honesty with you when you click the link.

4) The Happiness Project - Gretchen takes us on a brief but very useful journey to de-cluttering our lives (thus, our minds) with her post Are you at risk for clutter mentality?

5) Craig Harper - With a concept that is just as applicable to mental/spiritual/professional development as it is to our level of health and physical fitness, Craig's post Living in the Age of Information Overload points out that we're drowning in knowledge, but many people aren't doing anything with it!

6) Shards of Consciousness - Rick points out a very enlightening fact in his post Someone is Always Looking. He is absolutely right, and you can seriously set yourself up for failure if you don't take his lesson to heart.

7) Pick the Brain - In a post that all but made me stand up and cheer when I first read it, John gives us some advice that you need to hear. In our information overloaded society, listen as John says Here’s a Tip: Start Thinking for Yourself.

8) Zen Habits - With a list of 10 sins that are worthy of being inscribed on stone tablets, be sure to read and recognize the truth in Leo's post Can You Spot These 10 Thinking Sins?

9) The Believe Factor - Via the post Tony Robbins Spoof. Ben Stiller doing his thing, I was incited to go to YouTube and get the full-size version of this hilarious video. Don't click unless you're prepared to laugh!
