I often think of a line from a Lord Huron song: 'I've got everything I want and I got nothin' that I need.' We're drowning in things, but are in need of kindness and human connection.
I'd like to make a small but important tweak to the "expectations" saying. "The key to happiness is managing expectations, your own and of others."
This saying is the bedrock of my philosophy and provides space to improve and reflect while accepting limitations. I've said it to my kids and grandkids hundreds of times over their lifetimes and they say it back to me regularly.
About the Louis CK bit: there is another clip - him being intereviewed on a radio show or podcast - where he talks about that bit. and says: "The guy next to me on the airplane? There was no guy. that was me. It's always me". I find this to be one of the best insights into comedy I've ever heard.

That's super. Thank you.
Love the keyrings and love your work. And yes. Contentment: Not arguing with reality! Absolutely.

So simple! =)
So true.
Travel advancement.
1860. 24 days by stagecoach to go from Philly to San Francisco. Or steam ship in 30 days. Moving your stuff too: wagon train took about 4 months.
1960. NY to LA in 5 hours.

Thank you
Jono! Making note to myself to explore the chrome tab app when on laptop rather than phone. Sounds intriguing.
Ah, yes—only works on Chrome on desktop at the moment.
I have it installed! Will let you know how it goes! (Feel free to ask me in a week or two!)
Will do 👍
💯🙏
