“You're never happy if [your main focus in life is that] you want to be happy. Then you're always thinking about whether you're happy. You have to find some other thing that isn't happiness that makes you happy that you focus on.”

“...the problems are real.
This is simply about who you include in your problem space and what you choose to be curious about.

So with that in mind, here is my advice
from my heart and my experience.

First, don't eat grass.

I had to say this for a very specific reason, and we're going to move on.

Second, more importantly, one of the problems
you will solve in your life is how you will find joy in an imperfect world.

You might struggle with not feeling productive in that task unless and until you accept that your joy can be one of the things that you produce.

Third, ideas don't belong in your head.

They cannot help anyone in your head.

I sometimes see people become addicted to their amazing idea.

They love it so much, they cannot expose it to the imperfection of reality.

Stop waiting.

Get the ideas out.

You may fail.

But while you fail, you will build new tools.

And then you'll send me an email and be like, I failed.

And I'll be like, I'm proud of you...”
