| I think a lot of what happiness is, is a management issue
|
| You could be in a shit state of mind right now
|
| But you could make some decisions to adjust that and over the next couple hours
|
| You’ll get to a much better place
|
| And these constant management decisions, they waver in and out of your life,
|
| on a daily basis
|
| Like this idea that you can have a good mindset and then all of a sudden you’ll
|
| be happy, that’s horse shit
|
| It’s like the tide, it comes in and it comes out. |
| And there’s gonna be days
|
| wher you’re just not feeling so good physically, and that’s going to affect the
|
| way your happinss level is
|
| It’s never static, it’s never exactly the same
|
| Me?
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| It’s like hunger
|
| It goes in and out, it’s always there
|
| This is something I’ve cultivated for a long time and avoided things that make
|
| me unhappy and figured out what those things are and been
|
| Very rigid about eliminating them from my life
|
| There’s a lot of cynicism in these days about inspiration, about motivation,
|
| because there’s a lot of fake shit
|
| You see a million of these inspirational quote pages run by people that are
|
| probably depressed
|
| You know, you see a lot of people that are talking about how to get ahead in
|
| life, but they’re not really doing anything themselves
|
| So there’s a lot of cynicism involved in that, but there’s also sincerity in it
|
| If you just look at it with a pure heart and a pure mind, you can get a lotta
|
| energy outta that
|
| And when you’re around happy, inspirational people that are successful,
|
| it makes you feel better and you get inspired
|
| And if you act on that inspiration, your life will be more fulfilled
|
| And it’s not just inspirational in terms of financial success, but in terms of
|
| doing difficult things
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| And I think that there’s a lotta people out there that think somehow or another,
|
| you’re gonna get to some place where you living in silk sheets and you’re
|
| getting your toes done, and someone’s dropping grapes into your mouth
|
| I don’t want that
|
| That guy’s not gonna be happy, he’s gonna be bored
|
| An hour into the grape, get those fucking grapes away from me, stop painting my
|
| toes
|
| What am I doing in this bed?
|
| I gotta do something
|
| The human organism, the animal that we are, needs constant stimulation because
|
| it evolved trying to find food and escape enemies
|
| And this is the great joy that you have in taking care of your children
|
| You can protect your children from the elements and the enemies
|
| And it’s also the great sadness that you see in the losers
|
| When I see a loser, I see some guy who’s 43 years old and lives in his parents'
|
| basement, and he fucking hates the world and I’m like
|
| That was a baby that somebody just gave shitty nutrients to, food or in
|
| thoughts and ideas and examples
|
| And this kid developed these horrible self-defeating patterns of behavior
|
| That have led them to this point, where they’re this person with no future and
|
| no idea of how to get out of this rut and probably never will escape it
|
| And it might just wind up sucking on a gun
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| This is the world that we live in today
|
| And I think part of that world is because we have been fed this line of
|
| horseshit that you’re supposed to seek comfort
|
| And I don’t think you are
|
| I think you’re supposed to seek lessons and you’re supposed to seek difficult
|
| tasks
|
| Difficult tasks
|
| Because if I just think, well, tomorrow I’m just gonna coast and eat Twinkies
|
| and watch TV
|
| Oh, hello, sadness, my old friend. |
| Hello, depression
|
| Because when you’re not doing anything, you feel like shit
|
| And that’s just a part of being a human being. |
| And we can pretend we’re
|
| something other than what we really are
|
| And we can pretend, «Not me, man, I’m just cool, just chilling, doing nothing,»
|
| Bullshit, you’re a fucking human
|
| You evolved from the fucking hundreds and thousands of years of hunters and
|
| gatherers, and people who were struggling
|
| Human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA
|
| And if you don’t respect that, if you don’t respect the mechanism of happiness
|
| and fulfillment and what you really need to do in order to feel satisfied in
|
| life
|
| Camaraderie, family, struggle, learning — are imperative
|
| They’re all a giant part of being a person
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| I’m happy
|
| I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say
|
| I’m pretty fucking happy
|
| I’m pretty fucking happy
|
| I’m pretty fucking happy |
