Health, Wealth, & Happiness – to maintain a balance among them is to attain stability.

Yesterday was a crappy day for me. I couldn’t do anything. My stomach felt like it was eating itself and I could barely lift a paperweight. Sickness strikes us when we least expect it. The cold air last night didn’t help with going to sleep either. And we’ve all had this kind of night, the first night when we become sick. The entire night consists of tossing and turning, waking up in the middle of the night, and shriveling up into a fetal position in hopes of escaping the cold. I just kept thinking to myself, “if I were in a better state of health, I could do more things with my day.” This morning I woke up feeling renewed. And what can I say, I feel like getting a lot of things done today!

I had to skip out on the gym the last few days but today I’m going back. Your health and physical state says a lot about how you take care of yourself. This is especially important with males being attracted to other females. Women who are in better shape are simply more attractive because they convey the impression that they are healthy. As males we see high replication value in a female who is healthy.

Touching on Wealth, well, I don’t have a lot of it right now. But who cares, according to the friendly customer service in India I could defer my college loans for up to 36 months! I bet if they knew I’d take advantage of that they never would have loaned me the money in the first place.

Toys are fun, but they’re not everything. I’m just thankful to have a car that can get me from point A to point B. But one day someday soon, I’ll have some form of income. However, it’s not really about money for me. I always tell people “if I made an extravagant amount of money, I don’t even know what I’d do with it all. I’d buy a new car for sure, but then what?”

Last month I started learning Japanese from The Everything Conversational Japanese Book. The book isn’t typical as far as teach a language goes. The “Making Introductions” part isn’t until Chapter 9. I recently drafted a 2-year plan for myself, which is unusual because usually I can’t think of a plan 2 hours from now. In one year I plan to take on any form of work, whether related to my dream career or not, just to have some form of income. Within that year I’m going to continue to study Japanese in hopes of being accepted to a program to teach English in Japan. Doable? Sure, I have confidence. From what I’m hearing the odds of getting accepted to this program are 3:1. Ideally in year 2 I would be in Japan teaching for a year. But by no means am I putting all my eggs into this one basket. I have a plan B, too.

I met a lot of people on Tuesday, but one of them stood out from the rest. When I met this person I felt like we were on the same level right away. It’s a rare and amazing feeling. All I had to say was “I feel like you get it” and she nodded her head and immediately knew what I was talking about.

My current side gig/job requires that I approach random people, get on their good side, and have them help me make a video. This would be no easy task for anybody, but if you’ve studied human interactions enough this can be a piece of cake. That’s how I met so many people when I went to Cal Poly on Tuesday. I’ll probably do it again next week, too.

Other than that, my relationships with all of my friends and family are strong. I couldn’t ask for more than that.
