00:00:00.000 | You define happiness as progress, is that right?
00:00:03.080 | That is my one word definition of happiness, progress.
00:00:06.200 | Whether it's progress in your finances,
00:00:08.620 | in your relationship with your significant other,
00:00:11.280 | with your children, with a hobby
00:00:13.740 | that you're trying to get better at,
00:00:15.440 | progress is my one word definition of happiness.
00:00:18.760 | Is that the end goal, is just making progress
00:00:20.960 | towards all the things you care about?
00:00:22.280 | Is that how you view what money allows you to do
00:00:25.200 | or what life's for?
00:00:28.340 | You know, it's like one of those interview questions,
00:00:31.240 | like what is that one word, right?
00:00:32.920 | So that would be my word,
00:00:34.000 | but I don't know if that's the end goal.
00:00:36.080 | I think we always need to be trying to improve ourselves
00:00:39.240 | in whatever endeavor we take on.
00:00:42.040 | We should probably try to challenge ourselves
00:00:45.160 | in something that's a little bit scary,
00:00:47.080 | a little bit impossible sounding,
00:00:49.080 | so that at least we don't look back with regret
00:00:51.160 | having not tried our best or not having not tried at all.
