Choice

We live in the world of choices. Life is a matter of choice.

Many choices produce paralysis, rather than liberation.

After we make a choice, we often end up less satisfied because there were so many other options. Opportunity cost drags us: instead of embracing the moment we think about alternative options we could have made.

More options - more expectations - less satisfaction from the result.

Lower expectations - more experiences that are pleasantly surprising.

Secret of happiness - low expectations. Then everything become surprisingly good.
