🤔 3 THOUGHTS
I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness lately. Here are three ideas I’ve jotted down on my (literal and metaphorical) wanderings this week:
Happiness is focusing on what you do not have & do not want. Unhappiness is focusing on what you want but do not have.
Happiness is low expectations and a short memory.
Happiness is a subtraction problem we keeping trying solving by adding things up.
On Tuesday, we’ve got a guest on that I was very excited to chat with - one of my favorite writers and thinkers. We’re talking about the health taxes of our always-on, always-digital culture and how to build a deep life.
Excited to get this one to you.
Until then, keep chasing.
🤙🏼 Patrick
