Contentment is such a wonderful thing to be content in life the wild thing about it though it

actually like if you're content and you hit the lottery somebody buys a ticket for you or whatever

you're it's it's hard to describe it's going to sound like a negative it's not you're not really

that over the moon you're not just

freaking out yeah and then you'll actually use the money well i just saw a story about a dude who won

like two million dollars and he was in the hospital in two months just from partying oh my goodness

he was like this was a mistake like what have i done it overdoses and he just went oh my goodness

like if you're not content with what you have, if I'm not, let me put it that way,

if I'm not content with what I have. I'm not going to be content if I just add stuff.

Researchers have discovered when you look on Instagram and you see good looking food. Yeah. It can make you want to eat more food. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, they came with this conclusion. It's in the news. Okay. Therefore, it must be true. Yeah. They've discovered that the media can make us want things that we don't actually need. You know what? That's probably true.

Okay.

It's when, like, you don't feel like working out, but if you can just get in a car to go to the gym. Well, now you're going to work out. Yeah. So you have a habit that's not quite as intimidating as the big habit, but it gets you on the road as the gateway habit.
