Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Blog
Posted on December 20, 2007

Once upon a time, I read Steve Pavlina’s blog daily. If you’re not familiar with his blog, you should definitely give it a whirl sometime. I consider Steve’s blog a “tell it like it is, self help” kinda blog? Sometimes people don’t want to hear what it is that will truly make them change their lives. I’m not sure why…perhaps it’s painful to hear the truth. Maybe those people would do better to avoid Steve’s blog?
Anyway…I haven’t read his blog in probably 2 months. As I mentioned, I used to read it daily, (or at least as often as he updated it), and always enjoyed what he had to say. Then things happened…I could blame it on being busy or whatever…but I got away from visiting his site. So out of the blue, I decide to drop in today and see what he’s been writing about…and this post is at the top of his blog. I challenge you to “really” read what Steve is writing here and ponder it for a while. Are you really doing what you love to do? Or are you doing what you “have” to do to get a paycheck? I’ll be the first to admit that I’m doing what I “have” to do to get a paycheck. This all ties back in to my “100 Days To Health, Wealth & Happiness”. Do what you enjoy doing and you’ll be more successful than you can imagine! If the only reason you work is for money, then chances are you’ll wake up in the morning, dreading work, being pissed off while you’re there, and going home after work with a bad attitude. And then the stress of it all gives you a heart attack! Some great way to live your life, huh? Thats not how it’s supposed to be!
Give your future some thought today and dream a little. Imagine if money were not a concern and you just did what you enjoyed doing. What would you do? Give it some thought and drop a comment here if you’d like.
Have a good day!

“Love Your Work or Don’t Work at All”
its my motto:)
yeah thats a great site, and a good source of motivation too.
I totally agree. If you don’t enjoy work it will automatically be crappy. But how many people in the world actually like their job? I doubt many do. Whether you work at Macdonalds or are a loan officer or even a janitor, I think people just have to be satisfied at the end of the day with what they have personally accomplished otherwise they will never be happy.
Hi cd rates guy,
You are absolutely rught..I myself hate my job where I work as a research assistant..But life has to go on so we have to work in one way or the other
thanks a ton for the link… very interesting stuff
I need motivation, thanks!
Great post which summed up a lot of important points. Thank you.
I also found an interesting website which provides information on personal development.Want your dreams to come true, just get access to the website and choose a path of
Personal Development and you can have the life you truly desire and deserve.
“Love Your Work or Don’t Work at All” it’s crap not a motto
Loving what you do for a living should be everyone’s goal, or at least to make enough money where you don’t have to work! People work from necessity 99% of the time and there’s that thing called money that everyone needs, rebelboy. So unless you have a trust fund…
love reading his blog - but i wonder is his income really that huge?
i wonder what secret does he hold other than blog traffic?
Steve’s blog is a great productivity blog. If you are interested in this sort of thing, I definitely recommend it.
That website–particularly the post where he talks about how much money he makes blogging–really inspired me to take a second look at making money online vs. having a real job. Personally, for me, I like to do a little of both, but if I was making the kind of cash he is, then I’d reconsider.
I’m also reading Steve Pavlina’s blog daily. He is a great guy and i enjoy reading his blog.
If anyone wants to read my blog then take a look at it. i recent made a article about web design that i am kinda proud of
I wish it was that easy. You don’t like what you do it, so just stop doing it. In an ideal world with ideal jobs, that could be doable. But when your first kid is born and you realize you can’t do whatever you please, whenever you please it, you start doing the right thing. Not what you like, what you want but what you need to do. This is the cold truth.
Thanks for sharing this link. I need motivation lol
I used to read Steve Pavlina and found his posts very inspirational, he has a great story to tell. Recently though I do have to admit that I have not enjoyed his posts as much.
Yes, I agree, both about the Steve’s blog, and about doing what we really enjoy doing. However, if money is the only reason someone does something, isn’t that activity also worth loving and enjoying?
I truly enjoy reading Steve’s blog. It is a great website for reading material to keep yourself motivated.
That’s a great article and it has really echoed how I have felt for a long time. I got a degree in accounting because I didn’t know what I wanted and I knew it was a “safe” path. To be quite honest, I dont like anything about it but I go back for a paycheck.
Thank you for pointing out the article. I had heard Steve’s name mentioned in other blogs but never checked him out.
good article, keep it up
good article, enjoy reading it
Nice afterthought. I love his posts too but they become too long at times. However the book is an excellent read.
like stevepavlina too,
but, his articles usually very long
Nice post…I agree with you that money is needed only for the work then we get stress in our life..Apart from money we have so many things in the life to achieve…Personality comes from the character not in the money…
