      @@drew_nikonowicz was thinking on things and noticed something interesting. In cantonese, happiness is not one word is a compound of a verb and a noun. Its a literal call to action, and an appeal much like what you speak about here. The compound of the two words is open heart.

    This is fantastic!
    For me, life is no better than when I'm on skates.
    And the skating has done wonders for my life.
    Nice touch of improvising there!

    I spend a lot of time thinking about this subject. Can’t really say I’m succeeding, but I’m trying anyway.

    th-cam.com/video/Vx9h248PkTw/w-d-xo.html I very much vibe with the sentiment just past this timestamp. I am often saying to my partner, "in the trying, there is the doing" - by trying to live we may not always succeed but by TRYING, by being intentional and moving toward our goal, we will inevitably be more successful than if we hadn't

      Yes! And there's a lot of truth in that. It makes me think of stuff like linguistic performativity, which says that by describing a reality you are participating in the creation of it. That feels really connected to this idea of trying :D
