Welcome to the Blog Carnival: 10 Posts about Realizing Your Potential.
Unfortunately, this will be the final edition of this carnival I’m going to put together.
It’s been a good run, but at this point, I decided that it is too time-consuming to do what I set out to do. P
But I didn’t want all the quality submissions to go to waste, so here are the somewhat-edited list of entries, more-or-less sequenced so ones I liked are closer to the top. There are some quality posts in there — I hope you enjoy browsing through them one last time.
I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has submitted to this blog carnival this year. Keep on writing about realizing our potential! We are doing a very important work for the humanity.

Chris Edgar presents Are You Really “Trapped,” Part Two: Facing The “Fear Of Freedom” posted at Purpose Power Coaching, saying, “Fully realizing the amount of freedom we have in how we can live our lives can be frightening. When we recognize what a staggering number of choices we have, we’re seized by the fear that we might take the wrong path. In this article, I talk about how strongly this “fear of freedom” influences and limits us in so many areas of our lives, and an exercise we can use to let ourselves fully experience, and thus transcend, that fear.”

Always enjoy a good blog carnival. I’ll be checking these out this week.

Karl,
Have fun! There are some good ones in there. Check out the older editions, too. There were surprisingly few repeat submitters.

Ari,
Since you are the one who compiled this comprehensive list, I am sure these are all quality websites. I plan to check out most of them within the next several days, so I have book marked this thread as a reference.
I am still pretty new to blogging–I never even heard of a blog carnival before–but I do love a good party! 😉

Melinda´s last blog post..Wild Women Don’t Die, Reconnections, and Serendipity
Hi Melinda,
Actually, no, I didn’t compile this list. All you do is go to blogcarnival.com, create a carnival, and you receive submissions. And they even create the list for you that you can paste into your blog.
I used to go through them, read all and pick the 10 best, added my comment on the ones I liked — but it took a lot of time and I just felt that it really wasn’t solving anybody’s problems or serving anybody’s needs.
But do look through them. I’m sure you’ll discover some quality new blogs.
ari
Ari – well done on compiling such a comprehensive list, you’ve put a lot of work in to bring this together…
All the best
-Ross
Ross´s last blog post..The value of time
Hi Ross,
See my comment to Melinda above — just compiling the list isn’t a lot of work at all. I did use to do more work with the submissions, but I just came to a point where I felt like it was time spent on something that really wasn’t serving anybody’s needs very well.
Blog Carnival apparently was a more effective promotional tool a few years ago (at least Pavlina makes it sounds like it) but I don’t think it is any longer.
But do look through them, I’m sure you’ll find quality posts.
ari
You just answered your own question. It serves someone’s needs who enjoys discovering new content creators, because that’s what blogs are. So yes, blog carnivals serve a Great Purpose! – exposing people to new authors!
I look at blog carnivals as a trickle down method. It won’t get you huge traffic overnight, but like commenting or participating forums, it gives people more opportunities to find your content.

Hello,
Sorry about the delay of this reply.
Yes, I suppose you’re right that blog carnivals meet that need. I’m glad I did run it for a while, though at this point, I’m excited to stop doing it. There are other ways to expose my readers to other bloggers who I think are great.
Best of luck to you!

Hi Ari,
Sorry for the late response, and to hear that you are not continuing with your blog carnivals. I’m hosting a carnival of personal development at the moment, to be published on 5 Jan. I’ve received almost 100 submissions already, and can understand that it’s a lot of work to go through all of them! I did pick out a few good ones as editor’s picks, but agree with you that it takes time.
If you’d like to have access to the long list of posts, do visit my blog on 5 Jan, or subscribe now because it’s only a post or two away!
Thanks for featuring my post on this last carnival.
