Happy as Fuck - Akira the Don, Joe Rogan

I think a lot of what happiness is, is a management issue

You could be in a shit state of mind right now

But you could make some decisions to adjust that and over the next couple hours

You’ll get to a much better place

And these constant management decisions, they waver in and out of your life,

on a daily basis

Like this idea that you can have a good mindset and then all of a sudden you’ll

be happy, that’s horse shit

It’s like the tide, it comes in and it comes out.

And there’s gonna be days

wher you’re just not feeling so good physically, and that’s going to affect the

way your happinss level is

It’s never static, it’s never exactly the same

Me?

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

It’s like hunger

It goes in and out, it’s always there

This is something I’ve cultivated for a long time and avoided things that make

me unhappy and figured out what those things are and been

Very rigid about eliminating them from my life

There’s a lot of cynicism in these days about inspiration, about motivation,

because there’s a lot of fake shit

You see a million of these inspirational quote pages run by people that are

probably depressed

You know, you see a lot of people that are talking about how to get ahead in

life, but they’re not really doing anything themselves

So there’s a lot of cynicism involved in that, but there’s also sincerity in it

If you just look at it with a pure heart and a pure mind, you can get a lotta

energy outta that

And when you’re around happy, inspirational people that are successful,

it makes you feel better and you get inspired

And if you act on that inspiration, your life will be more fulfilled

And it’s not just inspirational in terms of financial success, but in terms of

doing difficult things

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

And I think that there’s a lotta people out there that think somehow or another,

you’re gonna get to some place where you living in silk sheets and you’re

getting your toes done, and someone’s dropping grapes into your mouth

I don’t want that

That guy’s not gonna be happy, he’s gonna be bored

An hour into the grape, get those fucking grapes away from me, stop painting my

toes

What am I doing in this bed?

I gotta do something

The human organism, the animal that we are, needs constant stimulation because

it evolved trying to find food and escape enemies

And this is the great joy that you have in taking care of your children

You can protect your children from the elements and the enemies

And it’s also the great sadness that you see in the losers

When I see a loser, I see some guy who’s 43 years old and lives in his parents'

basement, and he fucking hates the world and I’m like

That was a baby that somebody just gave shitty nutrients to, food or in

thoughts and ideas and examples

And this kid developed these horrible self-defeating patterns of behavior

That have led them to this point, where they’re this person with no future and

no idea of how to get out of this rut and probably never will escape it

And it might just wind up sucking on a gun

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

This is the world that we live in today

And I think part of that world is because we have been fed this line of

horseshit that you’re supposed to seek comfort

And I don’t think you are

I think you’re supposed to seek lessons and you’re supposed to seek difficult

tasks

Difficult tasks

Because if I just think, well, tomorrow I’m just gonna coast and eat Twinkies

and watch TV

Oh, hello, sadness, my old friend.

Hello, depression

Because when you’re not doing anything, you feel like shit

And that’s just a part of being a human being.

And we can pretend we’re

something other than what we really are

And we can pretend, «Not me, man, I’m just cool, just chilling, doing nothing,»

Bullshit, you’re a fucking human

You evolved from the fucking hundreds and thousands of years of hunters and

gatherers, and people who were struggling

Human reward systems are carved deeply into your DNA

And if you don’t respect that, if you don’t respect the mechanism of happiness

and fulfillment and what you really need to do in order to feel satisfied in

life

Camaraderie, family, struggle, learning — are imperative

They’re all a giant part of being a person

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

I’m happy

I’m happy as fuck, is what I would say

I’m pretty fucking happy

I’m pretty fucking happy

I’m pretty fucking happy
