The world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of
wonder. One is never lacking in opportunities to be Happy because around every corner is another gift waiting to surprise us, and it will surprise us if we can achieve control over our natural tendencies
to make comparisons [to things that are better rather than things that are worse],
to take things for granted [rather than imagining how much worse things would be if they weren’t there and so feeling grateful] and
to feel entitled
- Gilbert Chesterton
“The emotionally mature individual should completely accept the fact that we live in a world of probability and chance, where there are not, nor probably ever will be, any absolute certainties, and should realize that it is not at all horrible, indeed—such a probabilistic, uncertain world.”
- Albert Ellis
song:
You can plan a pretty picnic
But you can't predict the weather
There are three marks of a superior man:
being virtuous, he is free from anxiety;
being wise, he is free from perplexity;
being brave, he is free from fear
- Confucius
