Episode Preview:
“The difference between joy and happiness is joy is something you enjoy in the moment. So for example, if I enjoy writing, then that’s what I need to focus on is that joy. Now happiness is also the result. It’s like a result or byproduct, meaning, oh, I’m happy because the book sold really well. So I’m not dependent on anything when it comes to joy. Happiness is often a dependence. So if you’re Matthew McConaughey talks about this quite a bit as well, a fellow Austinite down the road here, but if you talk with Matthew, he’s like, I derive joy from the process of making the film. So not dependent on the box office success that’s really, in his mind, that’s where happiness comes from, as well as like, the result, where it’s really focused and goes after that joy. That’s very interesting.
And you know, I’m thinking in a different kind of setting with this, when you look at top athletes, right, so like, I do some triathlon stuff, sports are great because they’re metaphors for life. And so there’s just looking at it from a standpoint of it, I was lucky, like, I played college basketball at Michigan State University. But my story, I was a waterboy, to walk on the scholarship player. And so what it really taught me was that anything was possible to go from a waterboy, to be able to eventually be a scholarship on the number one team in the country is just once you prove that to yourself, it’s like, okay, anything that I face, this reminds me of that time when I was trying to make the basketball team.”
