Your Capacity to Enjoy Life

Today's entry will set the foundations for the next several entries.

I believe that what we are all truly looking for, and chances are you will agree with me, is to be happy. We want to enjoy being alive as often as possible and as intensely as possible.

I also believe that a powerful insight can truly have a tremendous impact, of exponential magnitude, on the remaining of one's life. Because it leaves this person changed, and consequently, every single remaining second of his/her life is impacted.

So what I plan to share with you, within the course of the next several weeks, is some of the knowledge that I believe, if you have never been exposed to, and if you are ready for it, has the highest potential to create in you insights that could increase your capacity to enjoy life, or in other words, your capacity to be HAPPY.

I would also like to invite you to share with me any insight, any new understanding, that had a profound and positive impact on your life, that left you a changed person. Specify in the contact form if you agree to let me share it on this blog or not.

You won't be interested by any of this if you don't intuitively feel that there is something more to life, that you could be more happy. You have to be opened to the idea that there might be something you don't know, the knowing of which could change your experience of this life, in the right direction.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few.
~ Shunryu Suzuki


Until the first insight, peace and blessings,

My first entry!

Hello everyone!

I am very happy to announce, after SEVERAL weeks of hard work, the official launch of the new version of BestInspiration.com. I am very pleased with this latest version, and I hope you will like it too.

One of the major changes is the splitting of BestInspiration.com into three different web sites:
BestInspiration.com
BestSpirituality.com
and
BestMotivation.com

They are all 3 very similar in their design, but as you might imagine, they differ in their content. Another major change is the introduction of an algorithm that will do some magic for those who register and rate some content. It will provide those members with recommendations based on their ratings and allow them to browse the ratings of some other members, those who are deemed "compatible" by the algorithm. You can read more about this new feature here:
http://www.bestinspiration.com/about.php

I have made several other improvements to the site and those of you who are regular visitors will notice them.

You are among the firsts to learn about the launch of the new version and I would very much appreciate if you could assist me in testing the site(s) by spendind a couple of minutes or more on it (them), maybe registering, rating quotes, books, etc and even submitting new content.
I have no doubt that despite all the testing that I've done, that there are still some hidden issues. And of course, your comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. You can either send them to me privately by email or visit:
http://www.bestinspiration.com/blog/blog.html
and post it there (click on "comments").
By the way, this blog section is also new and I hope to be disciplined enough to write there at least once per week.

As for the daily quote publication, I will continue for a little while to send daily quotes through Topica (where the mailing list has been hosted so far) but will very soon officially move the list to YahooGroups where I expect to be able to reach you more reliably. The list on YahooGroups actually already exists and I would recommend to subscribe to this list as soon as you can to avoid going through a day without your daily inspirational quote! To do so, simply send a blank email to: bestinspiration_dailyquote-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
OR
visit http://www.bestinspiration.com/ and use the form on the left to subscribe.
Actually, you may try this way first and let me know if it works fine. You will know that it works if you receive an email from Yahoo! within a few minutes/hours following your registration, asking you to confirm your subscription...

By the way, as I might have mentioned in the past, my first language is french (I am a frenchCanadian as you can read here: http://www.bestinspiration.com/about.php ) so its very possible that you will find language-related errors on the site. If you find one, please let me know.

Thank you all for your support and please feel free to let me know what you think about all this.

Yours truly,

Stephane Boucher
