when you say I want to be happy you say there is a defecit between your current reality and happiness which will always remain outside of yourself
defecits occur when we speak desires
desire is a contract we make with ourselves to be happy with what we want
Why do you need to be happy, why do you need meaning? Why do you want Roof?
that is creating an expectation of life whereas, if that is not done, life is just is - pure acceptance
i do this period - the goals have to disappear - no extrinsic motivation
you just are - don’t think about it
worthiness doesn’t matter - liberation in meaninglessness - like I do - no one is watching/reading so I can post whatever I want
garyvee - I’m gonna die and nothing matters

Airplane - get 2 aisle seats to be next to each other.
Systemize your decision making. Then outsource a my micro-decisions. All of this to focus on the highest leverage vehicles.
Have a go-to-bed alarm, not a wake-up alarm.
Deep work start to the day. for like 8 hours. Then shallow work, then train, and then sleep
when most people do something - oh that is a great path to mediocrity
