📙 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.'

Happiness buys you happiness sounds like something Kamala Harris would come out with

Not sure if Kamala would be able to come up with anything on her own 😅 24 is a good book. If you read it, you'll see.

I intend on buying it, I was only joshing.

If you want to buy 24, hold off for a week or so. The 2nd edition is almost ready. The sequel, July 18 is ready to go

Thanks for the tip chief

Kamala is the most original word salad creator in the world. Put some respect on her name please! 😁

AZA_21m 1mo ago

That's the thing 🤣 maybe she's simply not able to memorise all the stuff she's given, so she ends up bla bla blabbing whatever stayed in her mind. Of course, respect, it's a still a skill, though 😅

The gift of the word salad gab! Where you just let it all out regardless of whether it makes sense or not 😂😂

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

AZA_21m 1mo ago

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 ☺️

Absolutely. I just used 👀 because those are the Noncemeister's words as well

Yeeeeeeeeeeesss 😎🙌 a very cool dude, the Noncemeister (probably he got into minds of many different people, since it's quite a famous quote 😁)
