this is my biggest year
I cut off my negative "friends" that have been feeding me negative energy for over 13 years...since then all the goodness has been coming my way...
This week especially has been a big week for me
I invested 2 months worth of work into steem power in 2 days - monday and tuesday
I started back at the gym today
and since cutting off my friends I found a career at a massive billion $ IT company which is perfect...I was asking the universe to give me a Monday to Friday career, with amazing benefits, amazing compensation, amazing long term growth potential, and most importantly, getting as close to bitcoin and blockchains as I can....and the universe delivered everything to me in a silver platter...
My company constantly has people from HP, Dell, Cisco, Lenovo, VMware, Apple, Microsoft, and all the other ones you can think of, come in and show us how much of a threat ransomware, cryptojackers ect are...crypto is not only creating its own ecosystem outside of the establishment...but it is actually fueling the economy in a massive way

I feel I will attract all sorts of positivity, successful people and steemit votes to fuel my growth towards freedom

Chapter 25 in the book β€œThe Prince” by NiccolΓ² di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (1469 –1527) is devoted to Fortuna.

He argues that Fortuna only controls half of the fate of a human being.

The other half is the result of a person’s actions.

β€œFortune may be the arbiter of one half of our actions, but she still leaves us the other half, or perhaps a little less, to our free will.” Machiavelli

Cool. I love that you said, "Be with happy people."
Why did you not mention "Rich people, People with wisdom, knowledge and other lucrative stuff"?

To me, the ultimate goal in life is nothing but happiness. Many said to me that you need "Money" to become happy. Well, if you research thoroughly, you will understand that there are very poor people out there that find it hard to feed themselves three times a day; still, they live a happy life.

Absolutely right, happiness comes from within.

I have read some time ago about a study, analyzing the correlatiom between money and happiness. The conclusion is that there is a clear corrrelation until certain level. After the basic needs are satisfied, then correlation desapiars.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ 

Unless you're a billionaire, then the correlation is that all billionaires are happy.

Well sure, you have me so of course your fortunate.

But the rest of these plebs will never get our secret hair care regimen. Nope, it stays between you, me and that old italian guy our dad had to take care.

I don't know how anyone else can consider themselves fortunate without being able to ruffle my feathers...

We'll catch up soon at our hourly meeting.

Happiness is meh:

Many find joy in harming others, bullying or simply being an instigator. We call these people sociopaths. Sociopaths can be among the happiest people as they are "anxiety, what estas?".

Fortunate is another broad term.

I wouldn't call a sociopath fortunate but from the outside looking in they would appear as the most " fortunate", stringing you along with the story of their lack of childhood and omitting the numerous victims of their malice to reach the fortune they use to sell themselves with as "great".

Find yourself and you will find happiness and fortune regardless of who you meet.

Thanks for some good advice.
We can choose happiness even in adversarial circumstances.
It is difficult but I am learning to do it!
Wish you the best!

You know we were just having this conversation over on discord and I totally agree. I love motivational stuff. I shared this with the group and they all loved it. Never surround your self with negative people.

Absolutely. Over time we smell like the company we keep. A man would remain the same in years to come except for two things; the friends he keeps and the books he read. Keeping positive and joyful people around spreads over time. Very true sir.

Happy is intrinsic. And what is primal to also note is that happiness is critical yet it's difficult to find. Many find or look for happiness in others, while others look for happiness in things.
However, more often, we tend to become happy when we do the things we like and the things we wish to do. Hence, happiness is an action.
Well done @ned for this one.

Word of wisdom. But what is the image attached illustrating ?

Indeed, good point @ned

This reminds me of the renaissance period πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Amen @ned!

Based on the last couple of posts Ned has made, (Good posts too I may add)
it would appear that the powers that be would not object to posters not leaning towards "Blogging", but rather posting like one would on twitter or facebook.
Not a bad way to go if you are seeking mass adaptation.

This is very true @ned. Am practicing it everyday .

Are you happy and fortunate? Can a hiddenblade hangout with you?

Just have to get a few extra happy people over to steemit. Seems a fair bit of negativity around here.

All here on Steemit will be fortunate in the future if they keep being consistent in my opinion.

Fortunate and happy.
