I reread this often.
Every word of it is perfect.
We spend so much of our lives obsessing over building businesses, sometimes we lose sight of why we do it.
This is your reminder.
It reminds me of the Leo Tolstoy quote from his short story Family Happiness
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness"
The cool thing is you can "get off the grid" and be useful working 8-80 hours a week building profitable internet businesses.
You choose how much you want to work, and what kinda life you want.
It's your call.
The leverage of an audience, community and software can build you the balance if you want to take it.
I tend to think a balance in life is key to true happiness.
I love when I retreat to my cabin in the mountains in Quebec where I can reconnect with my mission, purpose and recharge.
I ended up building more interesting products when I'm feeling that way too.
It reminds me to seek "elegance rather than luxury" and to chase being "wealthy, not rich".
This resonates with me and maybe it does with you too.

@Aaron_Hawn you can make your own login system in shiny - with a mysql db (or postgres, or others). After authentication set a secure cookie (use javascript code embedded in shiny) and then check for that cookie on each page)
@seinecle good question from a curious mind :). I think an easy answer could be writing what multiplication means:
9x7=9+9+9+9+9+9+9 while 8x8 = 8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8. Suppose that you take 1 from each 9 and add it up to make the 8th term-then you end up with 8+8+8+8+8+8+8+7
