A thought experiment

[Billy Beer]

Think about 3 times in life where you were happy, or 3 events that made you happy. They don't have to be big events, even something that brightened up your day or made you crack a smile.

Don't think too long and hard, just the first 3 that pop into your mind. Got them?

Now, think about if those were external or internal events that made you happy. For example, an external event could be hearing a joke, hanging out with friends or watching a good movie. An internal event is something like winning a competition, scoring a goal or passing a driving test.

Do external, internal or a mix of both events make you happy?

You guys are being happy?!

One time I laughed when I was inside the house. So that’s internal, right?

 

[Just A Butt]

Oh and then one time I laughed when I was outside the house. What would that be called?

Both. It's always good to have esteem from within and esteem from friends/family. Your accomplishments mean nothing without you, and you mean nothing with those accomplishments if there's nobody to celebrate over them with you.

Mix.

You guys are being happy?!

Go for content instead. Lasts longer and the world doesn't try as hard to fuck that up.

Bro, there's a reason why we are KiwiFarmers. We are not happy in our real life.
