The Key to Happiness is Your Expectations
Happiness is simply the state when your expectational are met.
You will be happy when you
- have no expectations
- have expectations and they are met
You will be unhappy when you
- have expectations and they are not met
Try it! The next time you find you are unhappy, ask yourself
- What was my expectation?
- Was my expectation realistic, reasonable or even known?
- What expectation is realistic or reasonable?
- If it was unknown and may not be met in the future, how can I establish that expectation for next time?
