RM Gray | Comments Off | GrowThyself.org is a blog dedicated to providing practical information, tools and resources that assist people in living healthier, happier, more fulfilled lives. Personal responsibility in developing all aspects of the human entity is the main theme here, and thus, there are no gurus to follow...only your own experiences and insights.
Part life-coach, part Machiavelli, part Yoda, Balthasar Gracian [1601-1658], a Jesuit priest, wrote this collection of pithy sayings four centuries ago. Gracian speaks to the twenty-first century as well as the seventeenth. It's only a matter of time before someone markets Gracian's life advice to busy executives, like Sun Tzu or the Book of Five Rings (if it hasn't been already). In the meantime, Gracian can be our little secret.

July 31, 2008 at 01:43PM Below is a recording by Earl Nightingale. In the eigth grade, I, by mere chance, came across this recording in the school library. Curious about the title, "The Strangest Secret in the World", I immediately checked it out and took it home. After listening to this recording, my life was immeasurably altered. I no longer saw things in the same light, and began to realize the extent of MY impact on MY OWN life. Timeless in its wisdom, I offer to you the recording which changed my life. Enjoy!
