How To Make Yourself Happy In Any Situation
It's just so much fun to live a life where you're not worried about other people's opinions, when you're not dwelling on the past, when you lack the ability to expect things from others, because what it leads to is just a whole lot of happiness. You just don't know me, and I don't know you, and I don't fully know my mom, and she doesn't fully know me. I'm being serious.
We all know this, but only you know this, so why are you letting somebody else's judgement dictate your behavior? The people's opinions that matter the most to you are the things that you're most vulnerable to, and you need to hack that because I'm watching people completely live their lives based on other people's opinions.
You will never ever win playing a game that somebody else loves more than you. The reason so many of you want to win right now so fast is that you want to show other people you won. You're literally doing what you're doing because somebody told you or somebody you know made money in it, and we have to break that the path to happiness is actually wanting to work 15 hours a day.
Whether you work 9 or 11 or 2 or 30, the key is that you have to like it. Most people have no interest in putting in the long hours of work required to actually be successful. There is no shortcut or system or programme or magic formula if you want to build something that's meaningful and sustain it. If you think there's a hack, a secret, a system, or a quick path to human intelligence, everybody would do it.
Do you know how many people are plotting and saving to buy a piece of clothing right now?
Why?
I'll tell you why they want to wear that piece of clothing. You rock that handbag. Have those sneakers to show everyone else how successful they are. The problem is, you need to pay attention to who listens to you cry.
Let me give you a preview of who listens to you cry and complain about the other losers in your life. It's one big circle of everybody complaining to everybody else that the system and everybody else are wrong. It's three people sitting on a couch, not willing to do anything. My friends, accountability and lack of entitlement lead to happiness.
The reason I'm not interested in talking about becoming a millionaire is because I know thousands of millionaires are miserable as we're just getting started. We are caught in judgement and insecurity trying to impress people we don't even like. It makes no sense and must be stopped. We need to make happiness the north star of our society.
I'm done with people saying things like "I'd rather cry in my Ferrari." That's the stupidest statement of all time. People say that when they don't realise what crying is. Depression is horrible. Unhappiness is horrible. You're living this life for yourself. To be selfless and love everyone else, you must first be selfish for yourself. Make yourself happy. You're not making anybody happy if you're not happy.
