There is this German saying: "Happiness equals results minus expectations". And I have to agree, expectations are easy to miss, especially when you don't learn to lower them. I used to constantly get late to basically anywhere because I just did not factor in the time to shower, reading emails between putting on clothes, etc. And boy did this stress me out. When I started to pay more attention to my life in general (focus on the current moment and such), such stressors just disappeared because I learned to not get into such situations.
- bobbyong 14y agoPretty cool German saying. Care to write it in German? I did learn a lil German n would be interested to know it :)
