Life Lesson for my Kids

Want to transform your life? Stop chasing perfection
".. happiness equals reality minus expectations"
"Your effort to become the sort of person who finds happiness in what they already have can easily become its own interminable quest, in which success – and therefore happiness – always lies in some fantasy of the future, rather than in the here and now."
Life's a journey not a destination 

TIME FOR HAPPINESS
In fact, research consistently shows that the happiest people use their money to buy time. My colleagues and I have conducted correlational, longitudinal, and experimental research with nearly 100,000 working adults from all over the world. We consistently find that people who are willing to give up money to gain more free time — by, say, working fewer hours or paying to outsource disliked tasks — experience more fulfilling social relationships, more satisfying careers, and more joy, and overall, live happier lives.
Money can't buy happiness but it can buy time, and having more time makes you happier,... unless you can't afford food or shelter.
