money isn't really everything. Like, I get it, it's cool; who doesn't need money? I fucking do, but as much as money gives me contentment, other things in life can also fill me with joy
I never got as much satisfaction from earning money as I got from doing stuff for free. We need money. I'm not good with it, but I recognize I need it and I'm glad I have enough (there was a time I didn't --never want to go back there). But, earning money just doesn't feel as good as doing something for nothing. That's got the best payback.
Give stuff away. Volunteer. Best is when it's anonymous. I don't do it often enough. My life is quiet these days.
So, I encourage you to follow those instincts that prompt you to do 'antics'. Those are the things that will stay with you.
It's insane isn't it? I was writing this highly caffeinated but now reflecting on it, I think that's how billionaire gets their dopamine from. Like they all have all the money in the world so doing whatever free that fancies them, gives them extra boost of joy.
I love anonymous volunteering and all that. It's really nice when you can give back to your community or just random strangers. While a lot of friends and family told me that it's pretty useless to be nice, I believe in otherwise and after all, it's my joy being nice and kind whenever I can.
