Happiness is when you start accepting things you have no control over 🫠

📙 24 — great book: "Bartue, I'll cut to the chase here", the Noncemeister said, "You think you need money because it will get you something, and that something will get you something else, which will eventually get you to happiness. That is your end goal. You think you need money because you will ultimately feel happy. But money doesn't buy you happiness. Happiness buys you happiness. If you want to be happy, think the thoughts that create the feeling that makes you happy. Your framing is wrong. It's not: 'If I only had money, I'd be happy.' It ought to be, 'If only I were happy, I'd be happy.'

Yup, and understand that life happens for you not to you 🙌✨

However "weird" it may sound, I really believe that life doesn't send us personally targeted stuff (it's not just about us). Instead, it simply offers experiences. They are neither direct attacks nor rewards. They are lessons, touchpoints, catalysts, and so on. Since we are both a part of the Universe and the Universe itself—constantly impacted by others and impacting others—all we're going through is a journey. A part of the complex yet simple reality called human life. And we should feel blessed for that ☺️
