I once saw happiness defined in a book as an equation R/E or, Reality divided by Expectation. While this seems logical enough, can happiness really be broken down into a scientific equation? According to R/E all it would take to be happy is to either improve your reality...or lower your expectations.
R/E allows for the assumption that happiness is relative to the individual. Good. However it also leaves room for people to sell themselves short by having expectations so low that there is little drive, little motivation, to be the best of what you are. And couldn't it be as simple as that? The understanding that every minute you do all you are capable of, you are the best? Would that be enough to improve reality?
Take pride in all the good you do, the potential you have, and the beauty you see.
