I was disappointed because I expected a ten dollar bill and found only a dollar.
Why am I unhappy right now? Because I expected something more.
How can I be happy right now? By thinking about how it could be worse.
Don't hanker after what you don't have. Instead, think about the finest and best that you have, and imagine how much you would long for these if they weren't in your possession. At the same time, don't become so attached to these things that you would be distraught if you were to lose them.
-Marcus Aurelius
