FEEL GOOD FRIDAY Worth the gas.

Auburn, WALocal News

In his thought-provoking piece, Dave Markwell delves into the intricate link between desire and happiness, drawing on the wisdom of Naval Ravikant. He posits that waiting for external events to occur before we allow ourselves to be happy can trap us in a cycle of dissatisfaction. Markwell emphasizes that happiness is not a destination but rather a state of mind that resides within us. The article encourages readers to engage in self-reflection, examining the roots of their thoughts and emotions as a means to achieve fulfillment. He illustrates that the relentless pursuit of "more"—be it love, meaning, or material wealth—often leaves us feeling empty and unfulfilled.

By recognizing our inherent richness and beauty, we can liberate ourselves from the burdens of desire. The message is clear: happiness is a choice we can make at any moment. Markwell's engaging narrative serves as a reminder to live authentically and appreciate the richness of our lives.
