Dear Steve Pavlina
 

Dear Steve Pavlina,

I love you. Thank you for providing me with a difficult but rational and effective way to change my life.

I have never been this happy before and I've never felt so in control of my happiness.

So I thank you and I extend my love and gratitude to you, human being to human being.

Again, thank you.

-John

May I ask you how long you've been reading the material? :)

Interesting question indeed :)

My history regarding personal development, truth, and purpose has spanned from my intellectual awakening at the age of 13, through many depressions, and finally come to fruition within these last 3 months. I am 19.

I've read personal development and self help stuff for a few years now and all of it has just created deeper depression.

After many intellectual realizations regarding my philosophy of life over the last two years, I finally summoned enough courage to dare myself to actually use the methods that Steve discusses.

And his methods, which I've used over the last 3 months, have given me the ability to seek my own excellence in a rational way.

I do not attest any sexual love towards Steve but rather a pagan love: the love of a teacher.

Again, my humblest thanks.

Thanks a lot... love you too!

Hi,
Nice to hear you are doing so well. Congratulations! You did a lot of difficult work, and now it's paying off.
May your journey be ever more fruitful, healthy, and positive.

And congrats on your enlightenment at the age of 19. I hope it's consistent from now on and that you live a life of happiness! :)

Even now, I don't believe thats possible. I think what you could call my happiness is a happiness, but an atypical one because the beauty of existence, thrown through all realms of emotions, inspires me.

And I become wiser.

So cheers good sir.

Ah, youth! ;)

happy for you too..:p

Yeh I also extend my congratulations, also congratulations on your emotional maturity. Been able to say you love a man at the age of 19 is no mean feat, meant in a homo or hetra sexual way

I would also like to contribute my love & thanks for all the help Steve has so graciously offered to us throughout the years. For it is not just the help, but the intention which he has gifted us all with.

ThefOx, I applaud you not only for being bold enough to express love and gratitude in a public way, but also for your thoughtfulness. I teach students your age, and it's very cheering to see this degree of depth in a 19-year-old mind. I continue to be amazed at what some people this age are capable of--it goes far beyond what I was intellectually or spiritually capable of at that age.

I hope that what you have learned at such an early age will allow you to grow even more, for your even greater happiness and for others'. You're well on your way. I had to be 33 to be ready for Steve's site to find its way to me. You are ahead of the game! (Yes, that was a deliberate homage to Steve's latest blog post.)

Love and happiness to you.

Yes, well done thefOx! TO be figuring it all out at 19, when there is so much temptation to give in to. I deluded myself until my 30's when I read a few good books and realised I was missing something.

Joy to you
Hazel
