Voice of the Spirit

The Urban Monk Blog

http://www.urbanmonk.net/

This is a really fascinating blog geared towards personal development and spirituality.  The tagline for the blog is “Personal Development for Bliss, Success, Love.”  The approach is direct and practical, advocating self-growth and spirituality that is designed to improve our day-to-day lives in areas such as career, romance, social skills and financial success.

The site is free and contains a number of interesting and clearly written articles that are really helpful for self-improvement.  There are series and articles on subjects such as the ego, emotional mastery, fear and anxiety, and gratitude, just to name a few.  There is a great article on the important but often misunderstood principle of non-resistance.  Instead of general esoteric principles, all of the articles use real world examples (such as confronting your boss) to teach a useful, practical spirituality.

As a nice bonus, you can subscribe to the blog via email and have entries sent to your email box!

Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice.
