because I have already designed my perfect hundred percent linen black tank top…

good for me, I don’t suffer at all!

what’s interesting about climate is… You could have super sublimely perfect climate and weather like Los Angeles… 73° and sunny with a slight breeze…yet,,, this alone is not the conditions of happiness.

yet,,, certainly if you’re a -150°, you’re gonna be insanely miserable.

so:

1. The perfect weather doesn’t add happiness to you
2. Poor weather makes you miserable

so question,,, is there a link between happiness and misery? Because these things are not antipodes,… being happy is not the opposite of being miserable.

so then,,, what is “happiness” and is it a goal or direction we should strive towards?

Subtracting misery is still a good strategy

Still —> strive to subtract misery from your life and miserable people… And then when you don’t have that distraction, then you could focus on better things in life.

then also, be very careful the company you keep. If you smell misery from a mile away, keep away! Extreme caution!

my interesting life goal

power overwhelming

the goal is to always ASCEND your prime!

holy fucking shit it’s happening!!!

just follow your gut.

So some quick simple thoughts: 

First, movement is god supreme.  anything that encourages movement for yourself your kids your family, your spouse is supremely good.

Second, I believe that the movement should and must be physiological nature whether it be peddling your bike, walking or hiking, lifting weights, etc. I think the supreme problem about cars and automobiles is that, there is a disconnect between driving and your physiology, unless maybe if you’re driving stick shift? At least with stick shift I suppose you’re getting more blood flow by push pushing the clutch on the far left, and also shifting gears?

good movement, bad movement?

Concentration.

Another thought, this is, that, perhaps also… Concentration is happiness.

So Mihalay C calls it a “flow” state, in which your concentration is so focused in a virtuous way that, everything else fades away. It is the moment of maximum physiological concentration, and supreme joy. 

Some people also call a meditation, but for myself, the reason why I perhaps do not like the notion of meditation so much is that, there’s maybe too much American cultural baggage behind it? Like for example, there’s always the vision of like, the Buddhist monk, sitting in a lotus pose, in which you have to just sit still and calm calm your mind whatever. But for myself, I’m actually the most focused and concentrated when I’m actually moving, lifting insanely heavyweights, mountain biking, and even hiking etc. Typically my general idea is, focus concentration requires also, some sort of physiological skin in the game. 

movement is happiness?

MOVEment is happiness

the only thing I hate in life are distractions?
