Albert Einstein Quote

What’s Up With Me?

I know I’ve been sharing interviews on Mondays but I’ve decided to start sharing interviews twice a week instead of one.

Did you miss my quote posts where I drone on about myself for no reason? Good, because I did too.

I had an okay day, it wasn’t bad it was just weird. Sort of full of inconveniences. But in the end it was good. It was actually my parent’s anniversary today. They’ve been together for more than three decades now. Technically, they’re not legally married but still it’s nice that they’ve been together for so long.

I’ve been busy working on my second book now that the first one is done. I’m at thirty thousand words so I’m like halfway done. It’s a murder mystery/thriller novel. I think that genre is my strong suit so I’ll stick with it for my first book. I’m also working on another book which is at like 20k but it’s very different from my usual writing.

You can preorder my first book, All The Words I Kept Inside, here if you are so inclined.

Also, who has been watching season 3 of Bridgerton?? Please let me know in the comments I need someone to talk to about it. This season has been so good so far!

What I’m Listening To This Week:

What are your thoughts on this Albert Einstein quote? How was last week for you? Any fun plans for this week? Let me know in the comments because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    Regarding Einstein’s quote, I think it at least seems valid. Happiness and a goal both seem (and/or are) intangible and motivational. This shared intangibility and motivation/ability to motivate seem like they last longer than people and things, and these qualities help make his quote/advice feel more convincing. Thankful you shared his quote and for your post, glad your day was good, and wishing your parents a happy anniversary!

    I know it’s strange, but I’m not crazy about Einstein! I’ve heard that he didn’t give his wife credit for anything. She had helped him as much as Madam Cutie had helped her husband. The only difference was that he gave her credit, while Einstein did not! Unacceptable!

    The big event from last week was going to the concert, ATB was in Portland which made my month, it’s incredibly lucky I Saw the ad on the day of and was able to get the tickets. Their first and best hit was released in 1997. When they finally played it last night I cried, remembering my high school days, Donetsk and all this jazz… Very nostalgic and still very popular even here in the US.

    The Einstein quote is wonderful. We should not rely on other people or having ‘things’ to make us happy. If we can’t be happy in ourselves, we will never be happy in a relationship.

    I like the quote. Trying to achieve a goal or goals will keep you going and can give you a purpose. People can disappoint you, leave, or die, and you can lose things. On the other hand a good supportive family is important to your happiness as well.

    Happy Anniversary to your parents. Wow, you are keeping busy.

    I am feeling guilty for not keeping up with my creative work.

    I find the quote interesting in the fact that it is from Albert Einstein because one of the teachings from A Course In Miracles is; no person, place or thing is my source.

    I am getting my house ready to list for sale on June 3rd, but got a call from my realtor saying they have someone who wants to look at it tomorrow so a little panic is setting in at the moment. I got a fortune cookie at supper time that said, good luck is headed your way, so fingers crossed.

    Bridgerton?… The first season was great, and then life caught up with me lol but I’ll get back on it. I have a couple friends who don’t shut up about it, so they’ve been harassing me to catch up.
    Good luck on the next two novels you’re working on. I absolutely love world building, and novel writing always excites me. Currently have three manuscripts doing the rounds. So press on.. and keep writing. 🙏

    2 interview posts a week now? My goodness, you have been busy! I won’t say no to it though. Being exposed to new bloggers is nice, even if some of them I have zero intention of following.

    As for Einstein. Well, I kind of agree and disagree. I’ve seen what happens to people when they focus on a goal and suddenly they meet it. They’re life seems to end, bam! But if they can then get a new goal, things seem to be ok. But the people who focus on other people, like a mom on her kids or a guy on some sports star, yeah, that doesn’t usually end up happily.

      That’s fair, I think it’s fun to listen to even if you don’t end up following them. They all have very different niches so not all of them will be right for you to follow.

      I get what you mean about the quote, I think at the end of the day it’s more about balance and finding your own happiness.

    The Einstein quotation is smart. Tying oneself to a person would seem to have more with that’s person goal than with one’s own. And what’s the other one? A thing. Could be an idea, even a good idea, or a cause. But such things are tools and should not become the main thing. Continued congratulations on your new book. And now you’re writing a mystery. Grand! That’s a favorite genre of mine (mysteries for adults, poetry, young-adult literature, and spirituality are my genre-kinds these days). Yesterday was a holiday here, which for me was no big deal. I mean, it was nice with less traffic outside my windows. Mostly at present, I’m trying to concentrate on finding a new place to live. No exciting plans. Sigh. I hope your week has started pleasantly. Happy Anniversary! to your parents.

    Love the post and love the selected quote!…maybe to add something, it is important to focus on a goal that belongs to you – that is your personal desire, ambition or something that make you happy. The goal should not be one belonging to someone else because otherwise you end up connecting your life and sense of fulfilment to other people’s goals. Not saying that other’s goals (such as family and friends) do not matter, but love yourself and value yourself, that’s the road to happiness… 😉

    It’s not necessary that all the things said by great people are always true or suit us. I’m not convinced with the view of Albert Einstein. Maybe he was too obsessed with his work. Family, and people are all important in life. Only work can’t keep you happy in life.

      True, often it’s about properly balancing the two. Actually Einstein was known for being awful to his family and only focusing on work.

    True about Einstein’s qoute, purpose comes first, though we might be pulled to make others happy more often but at the end of the day, we can’t quench all their thirst for they need to quench for themselves… congrats to your parent’s anniversary.
    My week seems dull I planned alot of stuff but it didn’t go right maybe I’ll need more time to fully cope with my new schedule. Anyways wishing you success in finishing your books and Goodluck in posting the podcast twice a week.

      Glad you enjoyed the quote and yes absolutely. In the end, we should be the ones doing things to find our happiness. We shouldn’t rely on others for it.

      Thanks so much and hope your weekend is good.

    Great quote, but I prefer another quote of his. “There are two unlimited things; The Universe and Stupidity. And I’m not sure about the universe. 🤣😎🙃

    I’ve just bought a dolphin and put it in the bath. I slightly misheard. I thought Einstein said everybody needs a porpoise.
