I'm sure the inhabitants of Zion were grateful to Ripley for sharing her technology with them. @ Daniel, time and freedom are good, but what will you do with them? @ Briana, if you're feeling a paradox, that just means you're paying good attention to the world. :) @ Andrea, if you remain fully active in something you love, I don't see why fear of success would be an issue at all. @ Johnny, Aliens was set in 2179, and the first Matrix was set in approximately 2199.

I mean, my Ittybiz will end because it will become a big biz... not like a sick corporation or anything, but I definitely plan on getting rich doing what I do because I love it. If I don't think I will retire — in the traditional sense — but instead I think things will continue to evolve and I will continue to be fully active into my golden years, is fear of success going to seep into my skull?

Should maybe be required reading for anybody who's idealistic/practical, hopeful/skeptical, settling/chasing the dream. Or just, um, everybody.

I'm already in with time as a freedom factor. Next up is income for mobility. :) Going for the end in mind ey?

I’m already in with time as a freedom factor. Next up is income for mobility. :)

Me, I'll pass on the fame. Many people would pass on the money. I guess everyone wants to make a difference, but what kind of a difference? @ Sarah, I want to say that pouting could be the answer, but maybe that's more of a short term solution. @ JoVE, yeah, if you're on a good road, and you're keeping an eye out for any better roads, there's no way you're not going to enjoy the journey. @ Deb, I totally forgot about flow. That's what I'd consider a more practical synonym for happiness. @ Sparky, OK, I was mainly in it for the Sausage King of Chicago thing. @ Other Deb, or worse yet, we don't pick anything. @ Donny, yeah, when it's time to go, it's time to go. @ Drew, I think you mean City Slickers I. City Slickers II was about two things: whatever this thing is, and gold. @ Johnny, hi, I'm the other guy on earth who found something redeeming in the 2nd and 3rd Matrix. But don't get me started on those dorky little robot suits. @ Leah, I never understood the "pursuit" of happiness thing. Just reach out and take it, right? @ Ankesh, a good list, but not everyone wants those things. Me, I’ll pass on the fame. Many people would pass on the money.

I believe that it is all about being happy and feeling good. Matter of fact, I am committed to feeling good. ( Big Hedonist here!) To me, when I am feeling good it is a indication that I am on the right track no matter what I am doing. When I am happy, it's all good. Good things happen and I attract all kinds of amazing opportunities that lead to increased happiness for me. I agree that it is of no benefit to make something...business, activity...person...responsible for your happiness. Happiness is just there inside of you and ready to come out when you let it. Sometimes you need to look for it or make space for it to show up. happiness can fall asleep in the corner if you ignore it too long...but it ussually wakes up when you poke it a bit. I do disagree with the idea that anyone should be chasing happiness. It is never running away from you, you just forget about it and let other stuff fill your head...chasing after anything will never bring satisfaction. Just decide to BE happy!
