I Am Happy You Exist
“I am happy you exist” – Joe Rogan to Andreas Antonopoulos
Today I was rewatching the JRE podcast where Joe interviews Andreas Antonopolous when Joe said that.
It hit me. What a powerful statement…
In a world where hatred and doubt are prevalent in most people’s daily life, the expression of love and gratitude is a breath of fresh air.
This feeling/expression carries a force that can move metaphorical mountains. It is truly important in the function of society. When you share it, it has the ability to spread love and joy into the hearts of those you care about.
This topic of love and gratitude has been written about endless times. For that reason I won’t expand upon it here.
But I do have a request:
Today, take the time to tell someone that you appreciate them. If you’re really up to it, tell someone that you’re happy that they exist.
It will be uncomfortable. This sort of expression is not normal in day to day life but it could make an impact that you could have never anticipated. So open up your contact book and find a few people that you want to share this with. It could be a spouse, a sibling, or even someone you haven’t talked to in a while.
It’s important that this act isn’t because “you never know when something might happen”. This needs to be from a place of true love and appreciation. This is not an act rooted in the fear of missing out. It’s a step in the direction of practicing actively sharing the love you feel for others.
