But when I hear you tell me what you've told me, there's no doubt in my mind, I'm doing the right things.
I'm prioritizing things correctly.
And it's a meaningful existence because people like you are in it.
Yeah.
And understanding happiness, you know, and happiness is derived by the meaning you give your past.
You know, so many people limit their self-image, but they also create interference with their happiness.
Happiness is homostasis.
It's the normal.
And we need to figure out what we're doing to interfere with it.
And a lot of times what we're doing to interfere with it is a meaning that we're giving to
the failures, setbacks, mistakes, defining moments, historical relevances, all of these different things and successes even of our past.
And so I think to understand happiness, to be able to enjoy what you don't like or love, to enjoy what other people don't like or love, you have to start with giving the correct meaning.
And the way we give meaning is it's called relativity meaning, by the way.
So when you study Einstein, I study time and relativity.
That's what to me is Einstein's greatest genius.
The physics, the quantum physics, the metaphysics, the applied mathematics are all interesting.
But what really drives me is understanding how am I utilizing infinite time in the context of the incremental 24 hours that I'm given every day.
And it's meaning.
It's the relativity of it.
And here's the keys to that, and I'm sure you've heard me say it, but simple gratitude.
