Something that changed for me
I’d now rather be dumb and happy, than smart
Turns out you can still win a bunch of money either way
Not only that, apparently it’s a lot easier to win the money when you’re ok being dumb
We all know some version of the smart guy:
- Can always tell you why their opponent was wrong
- Can recommend all kinds of books and philosophies to help you
- Spend a whole lot of energy looking a certain way
- Loves to get the last word in
Kinda sucks to be that guy
What can those guys usually not do?
Just say ‘that happened’, and move on with their life completely at peace with where things are currently at, with what other people believe, and without needing anything to change about what the current situation is.
Turns out that being at peace with everything that happened tends to let you make very effective decisions going forward.
No spiraling thoughts
No arguing with how things ‘should’ be
No resentment towards things others have done
Just enjoying a calm existence, and making the best decisions you can along the way.
Live from that place for a little while and you’ll wonder why you ever wanted anything else.
