I am now off to read the articles that Chris says are his top 5 articles. I have always loved traveling the world vicariously through the words of others. Thanks Chris and Stephen for giving me that opportunity tonight. Stephen, as usual you did a great interview. I am now off to read the articles that Chris says are his top 5 articles.

He's an unusual blogger because he is constantly moving from one continent to the next and blogging about it. I don't know any other blogger who does that. We get to live vicariously through his travels. @ Debra Estep:

The hook, line and sinker part came when I read what Chris had to say on the very first page I looked at.... 'Thank you for visiting my site.' 'I don’t take your time and attention for granted, and I hope that my writing makes a real difference in your life. The first part of my life vision is “To Be the Change I Want to See in the World.” The change I want to see is more people achieving great things, finding their own meaning, and using that meaning to make a difference in the lives of others.' xo xo Debs-E Stephen,

His story encourages the majority of us that if he can do it, so can we. Wasn't that a funny incident when he literally banged into the glass like that? I give him a lot of credit for sharing that highly embarrassing incident. It actually makes for a very funny story when giving a speech. It's sure to provoke a couple of chuckles from the audience! As always, I appreciate your support. Thanks for coming by. BTW, I'm using the Comment Ninja script to respond directly to your comment inside the WP administration panel - saves me so much time. @ Jennifer:

He's just fascinating to me - traveling all over the world. I really have enjoyed learning about him. Thanks for the link too, Stephen. Keep up the good work here. That glass door incident - sounds like something I would have done. :) I like how he said you just have to move on. Chris is such a neat guy.

The bigger the dream, the scarier it is. But if we tackle it bit by bit, it isn't as bad as we are led to think. Like saying to yourself, "I want to create a best-seller." When you think of something like that, you can easily become overwhelmed but if you break it down and write the book chapter by chapter, it isn't as mammoth of a project you originally thought. @ Corinne Edwards:

I hope to achieve a high number of personal, significant goals for myself while building relationships with people all over the world that help them achieve their own goals" That is true for all of us in the personal growth arena! Dear Stephen -

I was a captivated audience :) Btw, I watched the movie, "Atlas Shrugged" last year. It is an old movie filmed in 1950s. Very good and I would recommend you to watch, if you don't like the idea of reading such a THICK book! Nita Thanks for the wonderful interview. I was a captivated audience :)
