Lasting happiness? There's always going to be downs as well as ups in life. Stoicism will teach you how to handle the pitfalls in life without dwelling on them and helping you to get on in life. Buddhism will help you to understand that life is full of sorrow but that the journey is it's own reward and that joy can be found anywhere.

A perpetual state of satisfaction can be reached that's liberally peppered with happiness. Happiness is not an end goal. It's the after affect of a effortful life that invites playfulness and new experiences.

The key word here is effort. Happiness should not be the main goal. Living your values. Finding a process and journey that meets your values and challenges you slightly will bring satisfaction.

Be carful of self help books and systems. Many are designed to put you on a perpetual wheel of needing more and more books to buy and classes to take. They are money generators that will tell you they offer the golden cure. And if you didn't succeed with the system in a few months then here's part two you can buy.

I do like THE HAPPINESS LAB podcast as a starting point. There's a free Yale course too. The teaching there can get you to examine some stuff.

Be kinder to yourself but do put some challenges in your way. Happiness is not about having a placid life.

I'd guess it depends on the thickness of what you are pasting. They're thin and I've only put down postcard like items. There is a double sided sticky tape out there too that's thinner. The dots are easier to manage. The tape a little messier. They both come in a self applying dispenser. I got mine off of Amazon. The tape is not temporary. You'll need to be precise your first time applying it.

I discovered removable glue dots. Using them now with my Hobo.

Google and Bing search has been horrible with that for some time. Bing AI will at least bypass the crap website's for now anyway.

Watching this post for some insight as well.

Curious if someone in an abusive relationship could use this trick if their phone was being monitored. If the abuser was just monitoring them with the phone's parental controls this would work but if there was an app probably not?

Seven Samurai is an amazing movie. It set the groundwork for so much more to follow.

Silly to hold us to five but those were the first to come to mind.

I nearly spit out my drink. Relatable and funny.

We need a remind me bot. I've no clue other than Putin fled Moscow and they guy controlling a bunch of mercenaries is coming for him. I'll look back at this post later to see what the consensus is and if they supply links.

Porteus is cool. I messed around with it when trying to set up an idiot proof browsing pc for a relative.

Pop or Mint are fantastic. They are my go to.
