You got to take care of the machine and your brain is part of the machine.

Get to bed on time, not intoxicated.

Yeah.

The secret to profiting in life is a real easy one.

You know, the guy who ran that study I talked about, the Harvard study of adult development, he ran it for 30 years.

And he's asked near the end of his career when he's retiring, how do you sum it up?

Sum it up in five words.

And he thought about it.

He said, happiness is love, full stop.

And that is absolutely true.

Love is the secret to your happiness.

Love should be the center of your actual ambition.

Look, the happiest people, they're paying attention to their faith, their life philosophy, their family life, their friendships, and serving other people with their work.

In other words, their love, their love, their love, and their more love.

The different manifestations of love are to get that done.

That's the source of your prosperity.

Yeah, it's funny.

St.

Thomas Aquinas, the great sage of the Middle Ages in 1265, he wrote this super important text.

So the Summa Theologica.
