In case you’ve missed it – part I is here. I’m covering the brightest minds of the blogosphere. People to inspire you, give you tips on how to save yourself from yourself and get you off your ass to start changing your life to the better right now. Just a note about Twitter. I give the writer’s Twitter usernames, becuase I believe that by following them you’ll get a complete picture of what they’re all about. Usually, their profile completes their blog, providing a more human aspect of interaction with the writers. Plus, it’s a great way of getting updates when there’s something new on the blog. And if, by any chance, you’d like to add me – I’m right here. Anyway, here we go – part II.
- Dragos Roua - The choice of a personal path
Founder: Dragos Roua, Romania
Why: [...] Don’t expect to find common things here, and in the case you will still find common things, enjoy them, because they will not emerge often. But do expect to find controversial, unexpected, unusual or just plain strange interpretations here. I saw over the time that some of my thoughts or mental connections have the tendency to put people in the dazzling state. Dazzling is good, sometimes. It makes your brains working. I just think we don’t have to raise perception walls between our mindsets, goals or approaches. Our “big picture” might often seem cluttered and foggy, but this is mainly because our knowledge paths are frozen in habits. Unfroze your knowledge paths and let them converge and feed each other. And do not be afraid about the results. We can never fail. We just learn. [source]

- The Fluent Self – When you need some destuckification
Founder: Havi Brooks, US (…and Germany, and Israel)
Why: Uhhhh …. thinker-of-thoughts. Writer-of-words. Educator. Trilingual bookworm. Obsessed with patterns. Baker of great (sugar-free) bread. Boggle fiend. Occasional smart-ass. Full-time eccentric. Destuckification: working through the stucknesses that get in the way of doing your thing (you know, the thing!). [source] Why 2: I simply can’t get enough of this blog. And that’s why it has a special “Why 2″ and the others don’t. They’re all great, though.

- Dumb Little Man – a handful of tips that will save you money, increase your productivity, or simply keep you sane
Founder: Jay White, US
Why: [...] I opened the door and now allow anyone to share stories or publish tips and advice. To me, this has been phenomenal windfall of ideas and concepts that I would have never thought of. [...] [source]

- Positively Present
Founder: Dani
Why: Positively Present is Dani, a twenty-something who, after years of living under a dark cloud of woe-is-me, has decided this will be the year she focuses on the positive. This will be the year she lives in the present, turning all of her attention toward making her life more positively aware. Dani is a former Eeyore learning to live positively in the present moment. Working hard to embrace the idea of “living happily ever after now,” Positively Present focuses on all things positive — quotes, books, stories, songs, situations, people, blogs, websites, ideas, images, notions, emotions. Anything and everything positive has a home here. [source]

- The Art of Nonconformity
Founder: Chris Guillebeau, US
Why: I write about personal development and life design, with the conviction that you don’t have to live your life the way other people expect you to. I write about entrepreneurship and other kinds of unconventional work, with the belief that the work we do should be both fun and meaningful. I write about international travel, travel hacking in general, and my journeys to more than 25 countries every year. [source]
