Hey there 👋

I used to think happiness was just... normal.

Like it was the default setting.

If life wasn’t going off the rails, happiness would just be there.

No big deal.

But here’s what I learned the hard way: happiness isn’t guaranteed.

It’s earned.

Not in dollars.

In effort.

I took my mental health for granted for way too long.

Then life hit me like a truck, and I realized something.

The best things in life—happiness, health, good relationships—they don’t just show up.

They take effort.

Think about it:

The wild part?

No one can do the work for you.

Not your family.

Not your friends.

Not even your dog.

A billionaire can’t pay someone to work out for them.

A chef can’t make you eat the broccoli.

Money might help, but it’s never the answer.

And that’s what makes the best things in life so priceless—they’re earned, step by step.

So, here’s my question for you:

What makes you happy?

Not someday.

Not in theory.

Right now.

Hit reply and let me know.

I’d love to hear it!

Talk soon,

Jay
