El hombre soñado
El tiempo lo trajo a mi lado
“Bien proporcionado. Así te quiero ami lado. Eres e el chico que siempre había soñado. Con el cual deseo tener sexo. Sin temor a descongelarnos. Porque tu eres el futuro. Donde me he visualizado. El que tarde en encontrar. Y por fin puedo tocarlo”.

Satisfaction (with KASIA, Moonphazes, Majewski) [Remix] - Single by David Guetta | Spotify
This is the best I’ve heard so far, even better than original Guetta vs Benassi Mix.

We all try to satisfy others
I have noticed, based on both personal experience and observation of other people’s behavior, that we as humans often tend to seek the approval of those who surround us. It is understandable; after all, we are social animals that need to be connected to other living beings to feel complete. But sometimes this desire can change our decision-making ability, which can then lead to living a life that we do not want.
Why does this happen? Why do we want other people’s approval so badly?
From a scientific point of view, being at the center of positive attention gives a huge boost of endorphins and dopamine, the same chemicals responsible for pleasure and reward. And the human brain is a sucker for whatever makes us feel good (that’s why drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol are so addictive). This attention and desire to please applies to all actions that make the other person happy. Let me explain: it can be helping someone (as I mentioned in a recent post) because that makes the other person feel happy and/or taken into consideration. It can be making a decision based on someone’s advice, which can make them feel in control and therefore happy. It can also be following someone’s career or academic path, simply because it makes them feel important.
All of these, however, fail to consider the person who has to make the decision. And to be honest, that is not the other person’s fault. It is true that we all thrive on validation, but it also depends on where that validation comes from. That determines whether it is toxic or healthy.
Some may argue that “selfish people” do not need validation from others those who go out of their way to please themselves in an extreme manner. Are we sure?
If we analyze this logically, most of the things people chase money, power, status, relationships, etc… lose part of their meaning if they are never seen or acknowledged by others. If these achievements were purely for oneself, there would be no need to display them. In the end, it is still a form of pleasing others just expressed differently.
How do we understand what validation is healthy and what is toxic?
Simple: it depends on who it comes from.
I firmly believe that any validation that comes from outside of us is toxic. If you only feel happy because you got a good grade, if you only feel happy because your dad is proud of you, if you ONLY feel happy because you did what your partner wanted, then your sense of worth is no longer yours.
External validation should never be the foundation of your happiness.
True validation must come from within.

I haven’t really been able to eat much since I got a full time job at Target, but sometimes at night when everyone’s asleep, it feels so good to eat like a fatass. The warmth and comfort I get from it too is so incredibly lovely ❤️

A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.
– Wassily Kandinsky (Russian painter, 1866 -1944)

A Nudge To Keep Going
Satisfaction is short on purpose. If you felt completely fulfilled all the time, there would be no reason to act, no push to eat, move, create, or survive.
Biology built it so that satisfaction signals only temporary completion, enough to shift energy to the next task. Continuous fulfillment would stop movement entirely; the organism would freeze, and life would end.
In other words, brief satisfaction keeps the system going. Its job is momentary pause, not permanent happiness. Fulfillment is never a destination, it’s just a nudge to keep going.

11/27/25 - Lago Vista, TX - TWIN FATHERS - My oh my. Our twin boys have grown up to become great fathers. It’s been very satisfying to watch them in action during this year’s Thanksgiving celebration at our house. You can tell that they’ve done a great job by how their kids unabashedly love on them. We’re looking forward to many more Thanksgivings with them and the rest of our Texas family.

Little Joys of Life
Though there are many challenges of being an entrepreneur, it also comes with little joys of Life.
Yesterday, as the entire southern belt of India was enveloped in elections, I braved the warm summer scorching at 41 degrees Celsius and cast my vote. Came back exhausted both by the heat and the long queue, at the voting centers.
As I began to start my work, felt a dire need of a nap, and within…
