Happiness Is Free


There is a time for everything, and there's a time to move on. I have had a great year with all of you, and writing ablog has been an incredibly educational experience for me. I warmly recommend it to each and every one of you. The teaching and communication skills I've developed doing this will enhance the quality of my days for the entire remainder of my life. Who knows, maybe one day they'll make me millions. Maybe not.

As the legacy of a youth spent immersed in a hustler's ambition, I still have a weakness for money, so if someone offered me a book deal or linked a million people to my website, I probably couldn't resist the temptation to keep writing, but barring that, I feel like I'm ready to leave this behind and turn my eyes toward a future of comfortable obscurity…

I don't really care that much whether people listen to me. I used to think, once upon a time as a young lad, that I'd make a name for myself, do something grand and impressive, change the world and all that stuff. I don't care about that anymore. Now, I'd rather not be famous. The more I've learned, the more I've come to lean toward the conclusion that the best thing in the world is for the world to leave you alone.
