I was reading an article that had 10 ways of feeling better about yourself. The times when we feel low, don't feel much accomplished in life or insulted by someone, we need to know how to not react but respond. One of the 10 ways talks about not wanting too much in life. Sometimes we desire and aspire for something desperately only to know that it is not as pleasant as we imagined it would be. It could be simple thing or a serious decision in life.
"Desire can be a powerful motivating tool, but wanting something too much can be very painful and very expensive, so don't live beyond your means or covet the unattainable. Seek your desire, but keep your integrity."
All of us have several things in life that we desire to achieve and achieving it really does not make us happy. Sometimes it is not a bad idea to accept life as it comes since we have control over our expectations and disappointments.
