I agree with u that Marc A's definition of happiness is flawed. Then again, many things he's been saying these days are, so don't take it seriously 😂

A mate very recently me told me smth about a certain pursuit of mine, which was in essence the law of reverse effort (leave it, wait for it to come). I told him that's a ridiculous idea 😆 If something is hard to attain when you're spending [correct] effort on it, it'll be damn near impossible if u just don't do anything!

Haha thank you! Sometimes you just have to reject people's advice. I thought of this as I was laying in bed last night trying to fall asleep, like if I just stop thinking about it and stop trying to fall asleep I will fall asleep, and sure enough it worked.

I just don't buy that this applies to something like being happy. What will happen is your whole life will pass you by and you'll be consumed by work or whatever else you put all your energy into.
