And the thing about accomplishing the mission is that you don't accomplish the mission by being happy.
You accomplish the mission at the cost of being happy.
And so one thing I never try to do is focus on being happy.
I don't care about being happy.
I care about being fulfilled.
It means more to me to be fulfilled and feel like I've done the right thing than to be happy.
If every man wanted to be happy, they would do a lot of weird stuff, okay?
And so most people can't relate to this.
I've lived both lives.
I've literally delivered pizza for seven years and I've bought a $2 million yacht cash.
I mean, these are wild ends of the spectrum.
I wasn't any happier on that yacht than I was when I was playing Tekken 2 with my girlfriend, hanging out, laughing.
I swear to you, it does not make you happier.
And so I think to myself, okay, if all these things that are so expensive don't make me happy,
and happiness honestly is overrated, I'm not going to care too much about it when I die, then I need to align my life and my money and everything with things that make me feel fulfilled.
So I live in Dubai right now.
For me, I feel good when I get things done and I feel fulfilled when I accomplish things.
So I live in Dubai Marina where I don't have to drive anywhere.
This apartment costs $1.6 million.
I live here specifically so that I don't have to go anywhere to sit in traffic for an hour.
