“Not every happy person is rich, and not every rich person is happy…”

Yesterday I dined with several friends at Le Café Louis Vuitton. 🍽 🥂

At one point, a pal of mine confessed he’d been battling depression lately. 😢

“But how can you be depressed?” my friend Emma asked him. “You’re a multi-millionaire… right?” 🤔

My pal sipped slowly from his glass of wine…

…He then shared an insight I’ll never forget for as long as I live:

➡️ “Life has a sense of humor, you know? Because she only gives rich people problems that money can’t solve, but gives poor people problems that only money can solve.”

An award silence lingered around the table.

I quickly changed the subject. But inwardly, his insight stuck with me.

Dahling, for some reason most people believe having more money will make them more happy. 🤷‍♀️

But let me share something with you:

➡️ the more money you have, the more money you spend! 😉

This explains why when the richest person in history (John D. Rockefeller) was asked, “How much money will it take to finally make you happy?”

Rockefeller replied, “Just one more dollar.” 😲

In short, the more I live… the more I’m convinced of this fact of life:

💡 to truly feel rich — you merely have to add up everything that money can’t buy (health, happiness, etc.).

Cheers to making all your dreams come true! 🥂

“The world belongs to those who dare to take it...“

This morning I texted a friend of mine: “Good luck on tonight’s game…” 📲 🍀

The NY Knicks have a huuuge playoff game tonight. So I could only imagine how nervous my friend felt. 🏀 😓

A few minutes later, he texted back this:

➡️ “Thanks. I usually play how I feel. And right now I feel good. 🏆“

Such a powerful POV, dahling.

The more I live, the more I’m convinced of this:

➡️ the world is our oyster, but it’s up to us to find the pearls. 🌍 = 🦪

In other words, we can’t have a million-dollar dream with a one-dollar work ethic. 😉

History proves why everyone has the power to do… to be… or to have anything.

Dreamers who reach their goals only differ from those who don’t due to one word:

➡️ BELIEF.

After all, if someone really believes a dream is possible — she’ll work her tail off and will MAKE it happen…

…But if she doesn’t believe, she won’t put in the work and will MAKE excuses instead.

In short, Henry Ford said it best:

💡 “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t… you're right.”

Cheers to making all your dreams come true! 🥂

“It's not happiness that brings us gratitude. It's gratitude that brings us happiness...“

On this blessed day, I wanted to take a few moments to say — I wish you all the happiness in the world. ✨

Happiness is an inside job. And so, the key to a happy life consists of always remembering this:

💡 The more you focus on the good in your life, the more good you’ll have to focus on...

…And to primarily focus on positivity merely calls for embracing this:

🎯 An Attitude of Gratitude.

Dahling, ever noticed the happiest people rarely have the most but are usually the most grateful for what they have? 🤔

In short, always remember this:

💡 Smiling for no reason is the only reason to smile! 😊

Cheers to making all your dreams come true! 🥂

“Talent hits a target no one else can hit; 
Genius hit a target no one else can see...“ 🎯

Earlier I came across a post on IG noting today officially marks the start of Pisces' season. ♓️

For most of history, Pisces has been known as the sign of the “genius/eccentric.“

Maybe this explains why Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Michelangelo and countless other “geniuses“ have all been born under this sign. 🤔

Dahling, though I've never met any of the above before, I can say this much:

➡️ I've had the good fortune of managing the Pisces, Genius Turner.

I'm convinced Genius has a photographic memory.

I was in attendance when Genius shared with Dr. Cornel West the key to his “polymathy“:

💡 “Dr. West, I primarily think in pictures. So this helps me recall most of what I've ever seen or read.“

In short, to celebrate the start of Pisces' season, I'm sharing one of Genius' popular videos from last year (February 19, 2024). 🎬 🌟

Cheers to making all your dreams come true! 🥂
