It really is something that happens in our heads. The following quote probably says it best. "The key to happiness is low expectations." Isn't that true. How often have we gone to a movie expecting it to be as good as the book we read 10 years ago. A great expectation in our minds invariably leads to disappointment. When we expect nothing we are pleased when we get something. Go to the DMV expecting to be treated like a leper and you will be pleasantly surprised if you aren't and not disappointed if you are.
Success is getting what you want.
Happiness is wanting what you get.
Go out there expecting nothing and get happy.
The picture above is the Sutor family in late 1981. From left to right: Jeff, Jeremy, Tammie, Carol and John. Two things to consider. Who is that thin guy on the left and who in the fuck thought those pants were a good idea? They are good for a laugh now. Where would one find those now? Might need a pair to make a fashion statement. That statement would be- dressed by Stevie Wonder.
Look like a young Donnie Wahlberg in this pic, Mr. Sutor. Bob Collins used to say if you go looking for happiness you'll not find it. Tend to family, work and life's pleasures and then it will be there. Guess you both are right.
