And that's what feels good.

That's why the daydream is fun to do.

But

By and large, when you imagine that good feeling, it's not happiness.

You imagine yourself in the house being like, this is it.

It's all I need.

I don't need, this is the peak of what I need.

More often what happens is if you are in that house, you're like, oh man, look at my neighbor.

Like their yard's a little nicer, isn't it?

Or like, oh, like I got this kitchen, but like I saw this picture on Instagram.

What if we remodeled it?

Like what actually happens is you don't have a level of contentment.

And I don't think contentment is a dirty word.

It's not a bad thing, particularly overall in the economy.

I want to live in a world

where most people, particularly smart people, wake up every day and they're like, this isn't enough.

We need more innovation.

We're going to start more successful businesses.

That is the root of all progress, is that the majority of people wake up every morning and say, this is not enough.

And the people who are monstrously successful, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, they wake up still, I guarantee you Elon Musk wakes up every day worth $400 billion saying, this isn't enough.
