š 5 Tweet Tuesday š
If youāre new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past 7 days.
I scroll, so you donāt have to.
Letās get to it:

what's the tell-tale sign that someone is actually happy / content in their life?
ā Shaan Puri (@ShaanVP)
7:14 PM ā¢ Mar 28, 2024
This post got over 1,000+ replies. Hereās the best ones:
āTheyāre happy for other peopleās happinessā - Alex F.
āLaugh at themselves often (donāt take themselves too seriously)ā -George M.
āRarely put others down/criticize. They assume positive intent of othersā
āIf you watch them, theyāve got a pep in their step when they walk. Or theyāre humming a song to themselvesā
āNot on social media/not on their phone too much. Deeply present when you talk to themā
Love these as a simple-guide to happy living.

I love asking people what they have unreasonably high standards for. The answers are always very revealing. And if they donāt have an answerāwell, thatās also revealing.
So, what do you have āunreasonablyāhigh standards for?

This is a thought provoking question. At some level, you are your standards. (you become what you tolerate)
My answer: āI have an unreasonably high standard for my day-to-day moodā
I find that most people are completely āOKā with simply reacting to what happens that day. Their mood flip flops based on the weather, the news, their boss etc..
Whereas I treat my mood as my fortune. I hold myself to an unreasonable standard for what mood Iām in from moment to moment.

āWow. It worked. I fell asleep. Crazy.ā
Watch this video of @thatguybg wake up from a nap with @elemindtechās sleep headband in the middle of the day, on a moon pod, in a conference room:

yoā¦ I want one of these so bad.
A headband that helps knock-you-out for naps instantly? Dear god please let this be real.
If I was on game of Thrones theyād introduce me like this:

Yesterday, I read this quote from @JamesClear and it hit me hard.
ā Brynn Collins (Walker) (@brynncwalker)

This reminds me of my Uncle Vinney. Heās like 70 something years old, but heās the energizer bunny. Fully excited about life. Has new dreams all the time. Constantly trying new things. Genuinely feels his best days are ahead of him.
All of his peers (my uncles/aunts) feel like theyāre slowly packing up their bags at the end of a long vacation called Life. Whereas heās got his backpack on and hitchhiker thumb out ready to roll to the next adventure.
Itās the right kind of delusion. Thatās my goal to feel that way when Iām older. Actually f*ck it, I wanna feel like that TODAY!

Well my ex canceled the Spotify premium I was using which unfortunately means I am revoking her Dads access to my Disney +. Good guy. Hate to see him caught in the crossfire
