It's lovely seeing all these commonalities between the people you show on your channel. Fascinating to see them orbiting around the same ideas.

Keep it up. :)

Yo im drunk on life. I ever since I was 16 [now almost 21]I started my "awakening" and have been chasing my desires, what I thought would bring me stability and what I thought I wanted after years of struggling and not having enough and that was for me all the weed I could smoke for my head and $ for stability for my family like rent food and etc yk the basics. And I had all the weed even snoop or wiz khalifa could smoke then I shit you not just as dude above said I got in on gamestop. Literally a day before it jumped past 40$ on Jan 21st idk what happened just had gut feeling and took the chance and made more $ ina day then I had wished for ina year and then weeks later I made even more. And in those weeks from going from 3k being the most I ever had at once to a whopping 67k peak and as quick as I got it was as quick as I wanted to make the next leap to 100k or a milli and it made me fuckin sick. How could I a 20 year old without a high school diploma not be satisfied with 67 fucking grand from 3k in a a matter of days/weeks. That shit opened my eyes to a quote idk by who but has been with me since I got Literally sick seeing my account print $ like it was FED reserve during a pandemic. The quote was " I have something they don't. Enough." I didn't understand until the events above spelled it out for me.

Just an observation: Sam appears quite sombre for someone giving advice on happiness. Sometimes we miss the obvious when looking to others for answers. I know we can find a shade of happiness in the mundane, but if you want the brightest shades of "real" happiness, meet and listen to happy people and do happy things with them.
