What's the truth about happiness you wish you'd learned 20 years ago? Happiness is a sensation. I can get it from edibles and Netflix. I could be happy in an hour, no problem. Purpose is what you wanna pursue. I have found purpose in developing the skills, the strength, and the wherewithal to establish a relationship with someone and raise who I think are gonna be patriotic, loving men. That is my purpose. So I can find happiness pretty easily because it's a sensation, but what I would suggest is try and find purpose. And all the economic aspirations and AI and GDP and salary and negotiating for a salary and all that and stock options, it's all a means. The ends is such that you can have an absence of economic security, such you can have deep and meaningful relationships. And I didn't figure that out until I was older. That's where I find purpose. That's what I pursue. Amen. Thank you.
