The modern world thought that material wealth and goods were the key to happiness. The postmodern world has no answers for how to be happy and even questions if happiness exists.
To me, it seems like we’ve lost the plot. What matters is intangible – living a good life isn’t about having the most stuff, it’s about doing fulfilling things including creating things, building things, forming relationships, leaving a legacy you build over a lifetime. Taking on meaningful responsibility and making the world better in the process. Man, nothing has been making me happier than raising my son, watching him grow and change and knowing my actions have a material impact and that it does matter a lot what I choose to do.

As long as you have a point to exist, something that gives you hope, that’s everything.
