It is very nice when we can learn each other because I believe that everyone has something good in their life. Therefore, we need to listen others opinion and take the good lesson from them. Nice to share with you about value of life. @Monika: No, you don’t sound like a magazine column aunt :) … It is very nice when we can learn each other because I believe that everyone has something good in their life.

I write from the heart, my core and I guess it connects with people because they see that I'm just a person like you guys. You are correct though. You need to break out of the comfort zone to experience growth. Sorry if I sound like a magazine column aunt, but it's exactly what I did myself. @ Kelly: You are welcome.

You are correct though. You need to break out of the comfort zone to experience growth. Sorry if I sound like a magazine column aunt, but it’s exactly what I did myself.

Breaking the block is talking about getting out from our box. And for me, my box is my comfort zone. Thanks for the inspiring writting. “The emotional tie that connects us to our block is often what’s needed to break through the walls of self limitations”…I definitely agree with your statement.

Hehehe...I find inspiration by watching a movie, or a documentary. Sometimes, when things get real bad I even study the TV magazine for headline hints... it's true. Funny enough it often works too. Maybe the next headline should read "inspired by a doco about the mating of Borneo's lost apes." @ Lindsay: It’s funny you wrote that. Hehehe…I find inspiration by watching a movie, or a documentary.

Feeling the passion has certainly helped me do that myself. Talking about procrastination. LOL. You know, the worst thing is when no idea flows and we go off in search for online fodder only to find ourselves still reading some guys blog post 3 hours later. :-) Oops @ Melissa: You are welcome.

I actually just wrote a post that covered some of the ways I keep from getting the dreaded blogger's block, heh. For me, it's a combination of picking a big enough niche that I won't get tired of covering it, and continually reading and learning new things, even (especially) outside my niche. I'm always surprised at how many ideas for blog posts I get from totally unrelated material. One of the posts on my writing blog was inspired by a podcast of a day trading pro, heh. A nice thoughtful post.

I had been trying a Palm Zire and it seemed to work well for me. Then I had to reinstall the software as I got a new work computer. And... the software was not available for download from Palm! Right on the web site, it said, "software not available for download - you must use the CD that came with your Zire". Which I had lost. I rotated my body about 15 degrees in my chair, and dropped the PDA in the trash can... :) Pen & paper for me from that point on. @Monika,

The time it takes to set the machine up, type in your addresses and appointments is horrendous. Unless of course something drastically has changed in the last 10 years. Pen and paper are so much easier and fuss free to boot. @ Brett: It always makes me laugh when people go on about their PDA’s.

There are just too many ways to procrastinate online when inspiration isn't clicking. I'm definitely going to try fostering an emotional connection next time I bump into this problem.
