You do not have to be completely happy

The image of the airplane blanket is simple: a foot or an arm always remains uncovered. In this life there is no situation where everything fits, nothing hurts, and every desire is satisfied at once. Expecting that fullness turns any normal day into failure. If you are cheerful, security is lacking; if you achieve something, another problem appears. The pressure to feel completely happy prevents you from receiving the partial good that is present. Accepting limitation is not resigning yourself to a dull life. It means stopping postponing gratitude until everything is perfect. You can tend to what hurts and, at the same time, enjoy guilt-free what works today.
