Welcome to the December 12, 2006 edition of the Carnival of Powerful Living! Honestly guys, I can’t keep up with the response. There are simply too many entries to read. Starting next week, I’m going to be posting the Carnival of Powerful Living weekly in order to keep up with the number of submissions I’m receiving. I’m thinking that smaller, more frequent carnivals will be better quality exposure for all of you, and less work for me.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this carnival such a success. You’ll never know the extent of the difference you’ve made by submitting here. Making a difference in people’s lives has a way of rippling out into the far reaches of cultural consciousness. No matter how good Google gets at tracking statistics, the words we commit to these pages travel farther than anyone can measure. Keep going. Keep making a difference!

David presents How to Turn Paralysis into Action: Just Do It posted at Worldwide Success, saying, “When Nike came up with the slogan “Just Do It” they knew they were onto something powerful. There is tremendous power in just starting an activity, whatever it is. Newton’s First Law of Physics states that a body in motion tends to stay in motion. This rule applies not only to physical objects but also to human psychology. When people set out to accomplish something, one of the biggest obstacles is to just get started.”
