Quote by Michael J. Fox

Summary

This quote suggests that the level of happiness we experience is influenced by two factors: acceptance and expectations. It highlights that as our acceptance of the present moment and of others increases, our happiness also tends to grow. On the other hand, the more we hold onto expectations â€“ rigidly desiring specific outcomes or judging circumstances based on predetermined criteria â€“ the less happiness we may experience. The quote implies that finding contentment lies in embracing things as they are, rather than constantly yearning for what could be or what we perceive as ideal.

It was not the passion that was new to her, it was the yearning adoration. She knew she had always feared it, for it left her helpless; she feared it still, lest if se adored him too much, then she would lose herself, become effaced, and she did not want to be effaced, a slave, like a savage woman. She must not become a slave. She feared her adoration, yet she would not at once fight against it.
