Reading it made me realize that alot of self-help or self-improvement books don't say "oh btw be prepared for hard work ahead" They make personal development sound like a walk in the park. And usually it isn't. It's very tough to change but worth it when it happens. Excellent post.

I sure know the feeling that gets you to take a break to go and find more things to write about. Another friendly blogger, Ravi Vora (ravivora.com) did the same, and is now returning to write more - and the best part? It was a safe thing to do: his RSS subscriber count hardly changed at all during those months! So, maybe it actually makes sense to take such a break every now and then? Or what would you say? @Shane: Good to have you back in the blogosphere, man! I sure know the feeling that gets you to take a break to go and find more things to write about.

Then comes the question, are you writing to meet dates, or because you have something to say? About six months ago I took a hiatus from blogging. I simply ran out of things to say. I could have written more. Plenty more. I had been at it long enough, that as Leo told me once, there is no shame in revisiting a topic. Following some introspection though I decided that I needed to spend a bit less time talking and processing, and a bit more time doing, so that I had more to process. It is about time to start up again. I have a lot to chew on and my blog helps me process. Now for the real struggle.

I know the feeling of excitement and dread that comes from reading personal development info. Fortunately, I gain more than I lose. Every once in a while, though, I like to unplug and just let it all go and keep things running in neutral, kind of like how your subscriber plateau. I like to be able to step back to see where I want to go and figure out how to get there, then come at it with more energy and renewed commitment. It's nice to read that I'm not the only one who thinks it's a bit of a balancing act that's still worth it. (Fabulous title, by the way!)

But from time to time, there's no helping it :) @mark: Welcome back! How was your vacation? I don't know if you need to do personal development to pursue happiness. Maybe not. But it could also be that the two are just different words for the same thing... If you use the term personal development in a broader sense, it means learning, embracing your curiosity, building your productivity, even changing your surroundings -- and to me that sounds like pursuing happiness. Maybe not for everyone, though... @Terence: Good to hear that the 4HWW is working for you -- but it's not the original 4HWW if you work for 8 hours a day, is it? :) BTW, how's your new project going? @Nimic: Yeah, he sure does believe in his possibilities to make miracles -- and he's right in doing so :) Great role model. @Writer Dad: Yeah, it’s not nice to fall all the time.
