After your next major life change, you'll have a short period of improved subjective wellbeing, and then you'll return to baseline.

And so if we assume these things to be true and our subjective well-being, how we rate ourselves, how we feel day to day is about the same pretty much no matter what, then that steady state becomes our existence.

And so that's the $10.

That's the fixed cost of living.

But we can change the reward.

We can change what we do it for or for whom we do it.

Nothing wrong with you if you were pursuing something for the purpose of something that you find meaningful, independent of how hard it is.

Usually like kids around my age, because I was 22, driving there who were college kids or just out of college, partying on the roof.

And so I could hear these cars and it would wake me up.

I would do the billing until...

sometimes 11 o'clock at night.

And then I would have this adrenaline and this sweat sleep that I'd go through because there was no AC in the gym because it was in California.

And my first session would be five.

People would get there at 4.30, so I'd open the gym at 4.15.

I would sleep for around four to five hours every night, but I did that consistently for about six months.

It got to the point where I could fall asleep leaning against walls.

And I remember thinking to myself during that period of my life, like anyone who ever has sleeping issues just simply isn't working hard enough.

I don't think that's true.

I for sure think that if you were sleep deprived enough, like you will not have sleeping issues.

But I bring this up to say that like I was, I remember showering at the LA Fitness, didn't have flip flops and I still have athlete's foot in one of my feet because of what I caught at that place that I still deal with.
