Hot DAMN!

Well, I don't quite know what to say...

Haven't posted on here much lately, but I definitely do come around and read the posts close to every day.

It seemed like an odd idea when I first read it in your blog, Steve, but after reading the first page of the "Angela Banned?" thread, it makes complete sense.

Now I get to do some introspection.

Looking back at my first posts, I can't help but laugh. I was a COMPLETELY different person. So different that I can hardly even recognize that I was the one who wrote those posts in the first place.

I joined this forum as a socially and financially frustrated teenager.

It was because of your post "10 Reasons to Never Get a Job" I joined these forums in the first place. After reading that post, I promised myself I would never get a job.

Jesus, that was tough. But I never did. I still don't have a job.

But I'm not frustrated anymore.

I'm self-employed and easily make as much money as I want to. I'm well on my way down the road to a million dollars and I'm also knocking on the door of social abundance (and it's about damn time, I tell ya).

I owe literally all of this to you and these forums.

Yeah, I did all the hard work. But I would've never even thought to do that work if it hadn't been for StevePavlina.com.

So thanks from the bottom of my heart for that.

It's funny how you've decided to shut down the forums at this time, since I've felt myself losing my connection here more and more over the past few months. There's a time to move on from everything, it seems.

What's next in my life? Who knows? All I can do at this point is look to where I was, where I've come from, and what got me there.

And in this case, the answer is StevePavlina.com.

Thanks.
