Don't be a Shitty Astronaut: On Success.

In my opinion (as I advised my little sister the other day), The order of life SHOULD be:

1. Happiness

2. Success

3. Money

Not just happiness in the future, but happiness NOW! So many people live for the future, with a crazed optimistic outlook that “Soon, things will be perfect.” Even though now is shit. Live for NOW!!  

Now, that doesn’t mean sit on your couch and play video games. We, as humans, are not meant to live without purpose (beating the latest SEAL Team 1^st person shooter doesn’t count, you twat). I mean, how the hell could we have evolved into the most dominant creature on earth if we could possibly happy sitting with our thumbs up our asses? We are DRIVEN. We want to excel. We want to be WINNERS.

However. When you drive yourself to do something you don’t enjoy, it becomes more like an unhealthy addiction.

What’s that silly bullshit line about the journey being more important than the destination? Well, some cheesy bastard had it right.

I believe the key to happiness in life lies in enjoying the PROCESS. How the hell can you BE an astronaut if you don’t like physics class. How can you BE an engineer if you don’t like math class. How can you BE an Olympian if you don’t like to train hard? 

The Key To Life:

1. Ignore what you think you want to BE

2. Think about what you like to DO.

3. Do it a lot (quit giggling you perv)

4. Become the best at it

5. Enjoy the success that comes with being the best.

6. Enjoy the financial security that comes with being successful

Success come from happiness, very rarely the other way around.
