I've seen this phenomenon in many areas. That is, if you invest time and energy into an area of your life, you will grow in the area. You are planting a seed and nurturing it, and a seeds natural tendency when planted and nourished is to grow.

I found this site in high school while fawning over a one-itis crush for well over a year. Shortly after I broke the one-itis' heart for another girl. I fell off the wagon, sort of on purpose for a few years after starting college. My priorities were on other things tha pursuit of a woman would have just gotten in the way of. However recently after deciding I want to have a women I have come back to this site and subsequently revamped my paradigms and after about a month working on myself as a sociallly mature man I am in a good position with a girl who is quite lovely.

This works for everything.

At the end of high school when I first started lifting, I would spend lots of time at the Bodybuilding.com forums. The result of lots of study and lots of planning into my workouts was a very steady increase in strength and a realization of my goals.

The more I read about and seek knowledge about money the better i am with money, the more ideas I have and the more it just seems to be there.

So if you want to improve any part of your life, seek the knowledge of thos who have been there and done what you are trying to do. This is why these forums can be such a great place.

Please, if you visit any other forums that have good information on anything, we could probably benefit from them. Here are a few I know of.
