most tpeople are not that driven
you have to find purpose, which motivates you in the long term

the eone thing that you love doing and will do for the rest of your life
ikigai, teh happieness of always being busy
assignment2: what are you niterested in? waht could you pursue in the long term?
become top g, to heelp other people
making money
chess
reli
woorking out
we are motivated by teh will to meaning
we all have teh desire to find meaning in life
we can all have meaning even in the miserable of circumstances
eeverything can be taken form a man but one thing: the lost of the human freedoms- to choos ones attitude in any given set of circumstaces, to choose ones own way
when we no longer can change the situnation, we are forced to change ourselves
chooosing how to react to an evnironment, rather than letting the environment shape you entirely
you have to experiment all the time until you find your purpose
assignment3: when was the last time you had on opportunity to choose you own attitude?
when a car didnt stopo foor me to cross he raod, i have the choiose to feel frustrated or jsut keep walking,
if i have to go to school, i have the choise to study and enjoy my time or just hate it and be unenergiezed
just experience things
there is no magic recipe for finding happineess, for living according to your ikigai, but one key ingredient is the ability to reach this state of flow and, thhrough this state, to hove an optimal experience
strat to get flow
