life example of somebody who had done

10:02

that. And it was really hard, which

10:04

was one, discouraging. And two, made me

10:06

think, well, perhaps there's something in a

10:09

story. And then I realized, of course,

10:11

Scrooge is the perfect example of these old

10:14

happy values. And of course he takes them

10:16

to the extreme, but no one wants to

10:18

identify with before Scrooge, right? No, we don't

10:20

want to be him. No,

10:23

he's miserable and everyone hates him. We

10:27

don't want that life. There's a reason why

10:29

we're so uplifted by it is seeing his

10:31

transformation. And all that he

10:33

does is realize that it's about other people

10:35

and he tries to be there to support

10:38

them. And that's all we need to do

10:40

as well, to show up and be there

10:42

to support others. I love

10:44

that you also talk about how Shaquille O'Neal says

10:47

that he, you know, of course we all

10:49

know that Shaq is like one of the

10:52

best basketball players. I almost said baseball. Because

10:56

I'm good at sports. Sportsing

10:58

is my specialty. He's one of the best,

11:00

even somebody like me, who knows absolutely nothing

11:03

about sports, I could pick him out of

11:05

the line. Me too. He's

11:07

a good basketball player, right? Yeah,

11:09

he's got all the awards and the

11:11

MVPs and the cash, right?

11:14

And he even says, like his list

11:16

of accomplishments is so long, but he

11:18

said recently in an interview, I

11:21

live in a 30,000 square foot house by myself.

11:27

You don't think I know I messed

11:29

up. How

11:32

many people, especially young people, would do

11:34

anything to trade places with Shaquille O'Neal,

11:36

right? Like it's the fame,

11:38

it's the acclaim, it's the prowess.

11:40

Everyone recognizes you, everyone knows you,

11:42

have everything you could ever want,

11:45

except you live in a 30,000 square foot

11:47

house alone. And

11:50

so is it really worth it? Is

11:53

all of that pain and stress and suffering,

11:55

is it worth it to push yourself so

11:57

hard and to separate yourself? from others and

11:59

at the end of the day you end

12:02

up unhappy because that's what you really want.

12:04

You really want happiness. You just think we've

12:06

been told that X, Y, and

12:08

Z will lead to happiness,

12:11

but they don't. And that's the message I

12:13

think that I'm hoping to share with people.

12:15

The things that we think will make us

12:17

happy actually end up making us miserable. Yeah.

12:20

You say if you're wondering whether

12:23

old happiness has infiltrated your life,

12:26

see if any of these statements resonate with

12:28

you. Like I never feel like I'm good

12:30

enough. I got what I thought I wanted,

12:32

but I still feel miserable. I

12:34

never let myself take breaks or rest.

12:37

It feels like I'm pretending to be

12:39

someone I'm not. I feel so lonely

12:41

all the time. Am I

12:43

the only one who

12:46

is secretly miserable but pretending

12:49

not to be? I think that,

12:51

man, I bet a lot of

12:53

people relate to that statement. Again, I

12:55

think it's so important that if you're

12:57

listening to Sharon read those

12:59

things and you feel that way, it's not

13:01

your fault. It's just not your

13:03

fault at all. It's the fact that you've

13:06

been conditioned into these ideas and then they

13:08

go so deep within us. We don't even

13:10

recognize that there are beliefs or that they

13:12

could be challenged in a way. And so

13:14

part of what we need to do is

13:16

just bring our attention to our lives and

13:19

think, well, is this actually working

13:21

for me? Am I doing things that bring

13:23

me joy on a regular basis? Because if

13:25

not, then it's worth reconsidering and redefining your

13:27

values for yourself in a way that actually

13:30

serves you. You mentioned a

13:32

quote from Martin Luther King that I absolutely loved.

13:34

And I'll read it and then I'd love to

13:36

hear you talk more about it. He

13:38

said, those who are not

13:41

looking for happiness are

13:43

the most likely to find it because

13:46

those who are searching forget

13:48

that the surest way to be

13:50

happy is to seek

13:53

happiness for others. This

13:55

gives me so much to think about

13:57

because we really have been conditioned to...

22:19

that's tongue. Also, you can get health

22:21

insurance for a month or just under

22:23

a year in some states. UnitedHealthcare short-term
