Smile More

Man, I used to think productivity was all about grinding—like, wake up at 5 a.m., meditate, drink a green juice, and maybe fight a squirrel for being too happy. Goggins style, you know? But then I realized something: happy people get stuff done. You ever see a sad guy try to build a shed? That thing’s gonna fall apart faster than my first relationship.

Happiness isn’t just about feeling good; it’s like a secret weapon. When you’re happy, you’ve got that bounce in your step. You’re like a human Roomba, just zipping around picking up life’s crumbs. Sad people? They’re like old flip phones—just slow, clunky, and texting their ex because productivity went out the window.

Think about it. You smile at your boss—bam, promotion. You laugh at your buddy’s dumb joke—now you’ve got a buddy for life. You tackle your to-do list with a grin, and suddenly you’re solving problems like you're on an HGTV renovation show for emotions.

Here’s the kicker: happiness doesn’t just happen. You gotta create it, like putting parmesan on spaghetti. It's the little things. Laugh at your own stupid mistakes. Imagine you’re a superhero going through character development. Or dance like nobody’s watching—even though they probably are, because cameras are everywhere.

So next time someone tells you to hustle harder, tell them you’re hustling smarter. Because when you’re happy, productivity feels like recess, and who doesn’t wanna crush life while feeling like me on a swing set?
