About This Quote

The secret to happiness is low expectations. In the pursuit of happiness, we often set high goals that end up being impossible to reach. This life is full of ups and downs, and we can never control all of the circumstances that will befall us. If we expect the world to go our way, we will be disappointed and unhappy with what we find. Instead, we must find a balance between our hopes and our ability to achieve them.
