I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying your current vibe and philosophy, and I’m certain it will continue to evolve. I suppose if it didn’t, things would get mighty stagnant, wouldn’t they?

Not that you don’t hear it enough, but… you’ve done an amazing job with Zen Habits and completely redefined what is possible with a Personal Development blog.

Thank YOU for being a fantastic role model!

I just want to say thank you, to Lisis, for this extremely kind post, and to all of you for the words of encouragement.

I truly believe the encouragement from my readers has made my blog (and me) what it is today.

Oh, btw, Zen Habits has been about simplifying and slowing down from the beginning — I have some early posts about slowing down, eating slower, doing nothing, and the like that many people have missed. However, I definitely think my writing has been changing focus, as my philosophy has inevitably changed over the last couple of years. I would hate to stop growing — I hope it changes two years from now as well!

Again, thanks Lisis, and thanks everyone!

I have always had great business ideas and was so enthusiastic about them until I shared them with others, the Naysayers, who gave me a millions reasons why it wouldn’t work.

Thanks for joining the party!
