Three questions determine 99% of the happiness in your life: 1. What am I working on and why?  2. Who am I spending time with and why? 3. How well am I treating my body and why?  Everything else is noise.

Your ancestors survived centuries of floods, wars, famine, slavery, and plagues for you to sit on the toilet and compare your life to people on the internet who you’ve never met. Be grateful.

Social media fucks up our expectations because it convinces us that we should be doing everything, everywhere, all at once. Reality is that we should focus on doing one or two things extremely well, in one place, consistently over a long period of time.

Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.

Did you know, a recent study reported that on average, 30 minutes of daily exercise can help depressed people just as much as prescribed medication can? 🤯 And it doesn't even have to be strenuous exercise, you can just go outside and walk around the block for 30 minutes and save yourself on having to deal with insurance companies and pharmacists and all that BS. While health and fitness might get overrated in terms of people trying to optimize for things like six-packs, it’s vastly underrated for its contribution to basic human happiness and well-being. We’ve somehow been led to believe that happiness requires us to bench-press 200lb or eat air fried chia seeds for breakfast. Maybe because every time we scroll through social media we're bombarded with images of fancy avocado toast, perfect bodies, and dream vacations. But in reality, happiness is much simpler than any of that. You don't have to master 25 different techniques and apply 400 micro strategies to find happiness, just get on top of a few important areas of your life and the knock-on effects will astound you. I recorded a podcast where we delve into the few key determining factors of happiness. Some of what we cover: ✴️Which people should be in your life? And why is it that improving yourself seems to weed out toxic relationships? ✴️Why a statistically significant number of people around the world don't have a single person they feel comfortable sharing their deepest personal secrets with. ✴️Plus, who says you need to make money doing what you love? ✴️Drew’s secret passion for woodworking ✴️And much more… This episode is a fun one. It will hopefully have you 99% happier by the end of it. And if you leave me a review, I’ll be a whole lot happier too. Link to episode below 👇

Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. Being offended is a choice and should be chosen wisely.
