A.A. teaches us that ACCEPTANCE is the key to a stress free stable life. And to be happy is to not have high expectations. That's exactly what is presented here I think. For me, contentment also comes when I ignore the fear based advertisements thus avoiding consumerism. A simple, quiet like, for me, is success. ✌ & ❤.

Dear sir, I would like to ask your permission to subtitle your video in Spanish, because many people don’t speak English, and your video is very valuable in these moments of uncertainty.
