I've got a quick question for you. How did you wake up today? I was giving a speech last week and I posed that question and said, did you jump out of your bed and say, oh, my God, it's another day. I'm so excited for another day. And obviously it was a joke, but most people laughed. And then I got serious and said, why didn't you wake up? That way, most people wake up and live their entire day pissed off. And when you're sitting at the checkout counter and you see someone and the cashier asks, how you doing today? The person's like, oh, I'm just getting by. The cashier is like, yeah, me too. Why is that the automatic default? Why do we have to have a reason to be happy, a reason to be excited? I'll give you a reason. How about the fact that you just woke up today? Do you know how many people did not wake up today? So can you find a reason to be happy for absolutely no reason? Yes, you can. So anytime that you're sitting there and you feel like you might be feeling depressed, you might be feeling down or be sad or anything like that, why not put on music? Why not dance naked in your bathroom for absolutely no reason? Because you're alive. That's probably the best reason that I can give you. So what I want you to take from this video today is to be happy for absolutely no reason. Because you can be sad or depressed for absolutely no reason. So if you can do that, why not change it and just be happy for no reason? Why not be glad for no reason? Why not just be completely grateful that you're alive when most people aren't? For no reason? That's what I think you should be absolutely happy about and absolutely excited about every single day. And if you live your life this way, what you'll notice is greater things will start to come into your life. It'll be easier to be happier, and you will start to attract more happy people into your life as well and get rid of the negative ones. So think about that today. Share this with someone if you love it, and I hope that you guys have an amazing day.
