					<description>@ Lara,

Thank you very much for your kind words. It's okay if you disagree with me. You don't have to like or agree with everything I write!

@ Aaron 82,

Thanks but I sure hope you weren't reading my blog on your lunch break! 5:08 P.M. is pretty late!

					<description>Adam,

It's not that I didn't agree with you. It's just very surprising to see such an ambitious entrepreneur so introspective and in touch with what's really important.

I think because of how you think and feel and obviously strive to be it's only going to make you appreciate everything you accomplish (and are able to buy) once you reach a certain level of success you will inevitably get to.

I do really enjoy your happiness posts and I hope you continue to write about happiness because I think it's the most important and interesting subject.</description>

					<description>Adam,

Just read your post. We are 100% in agreement on this topic.

I think people had a problem with my prior post because it's very unconventional for an entrepreneur to be complacent.

However, as you know, I'm not saying complacency is the answer. I'm saying if you can't be happy by yourself, with your own thoughts, you'll never be happy, no matter how many cars or millions you have.

And in the end, what's the point if you won't be happy no matter what you have?</description>

					<description>Again, couldn't agree with you more bro. Not really sure why people get ticked off with your happiness posts, but it'll be interesting to see how they comment up this one.

Btw - back on my old blog I did a similar post http://www.adam-mcfarland.net/sl-ye-archive/2007/05/success-and-happiness-myths-all-over.html

Keep the good stuff coming!</description>
