I really enjoyed this video (about 30mins) about how SpongeBob lives a simple life that he is happy with. He cooks burgers for a living, and is excited to do that in the best way he can. He thoroughly enjoys simple activities with friends. And, while he is imperfect, he has high optimism.
With social pressures and forces these days, I do believe these kinds of simple ways and values may lead to one of the healthiest kinds of lives.

“…have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet
Stay open, friends.
Stay open.
Thank you
“…the point is to flex your flexibility, keep catlike presence with a reality that is becoming more unpredictable. not in an anxious way, rather in a “no matter what, something good for me arises from this” way. the more present and accepting of the moment you are, the more you will allow your mind to present you with opportunities to capitalize on every reality you encounter.“
