Society
rewards results, not processes; arrivals, not journeys.
One
way of becoming happier, increasing the base level of our well-being, is to
reduce the have-tos while increasing the want-tos.
The
potential for happiness may be all around us, but if it goes unnoticed -- if
our focus is elsewhere and we fail to perceive it -- we risk losing it.
To
turn a possibility into a reality, we first need to realize that the
possibility exists.
To
raise our levels of well-being, there is no way around simplifying our lives.
To
realize, to make real, life's potential for the ultimate currency, we must
first accept that "this is it" -- that all there is to life is the
day-to-day, the ordinary, the details of the mosaic.
