[Quote No.66878] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"[Past satisfactions:] What is the use of planning to be able to eat next week unless I can really enjoy the meals when they come?
If I am so busy planning how to eat next week that I cannot fully enjoy what I am eating now, I will be in the same predicament when next week's meals become 'now.'
If my happiness at this moment consists largely in reviewing happy memories [past satisfaction] and expectations [future anticipation], I am but dimly aware of this present [mindfulness experience].
I shall still be dimly aware of the present when the good things that I have been expecting come to pass.
For I shall have formed a habit of looking behind and ahead, making it difficult for me to attend to the here and now.
If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world. [All time periods - past, present and future - are important.]" - Alan Watts

[Quote No.67339] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"[The Buddhists say, 'Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.' They go on to explain any time we suffer misfortune, two arrows fly our way. ... The second arrow is the suffering, which is optional, because it is based on how we evaluate and react to the 'bad' event, which is under our conscious choice and control.] Suffering is the demand that experience be different from what it is. [Accepting what cannot be changed stops the second arrow of suffering although not the pain-misfortune. But realizing that things could be worse but aren't creates satisfaction, relief, gratitude and happiness even amidst the pain!]" - Sylvia Boorstein
(1936 - ), American Buddhist teacher.

[Quote No.67559] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"[Mo Gawdat's 'Equation for Happiness':] The equation says that happiness is greater than, or equal to, your perception of the events in your life minus your expectation of how life should be. [If your expectations are bigger than your perception of events then the result is negative, rather than positive, and disappointment and unhappiness are felt. This can be managed by remembering frustration and ingratitude are experienced when reality is compared to something better. Relief and gratitude are experienced when reality is compared with something worse. So another way of expressing a formula for happiness would be = If Reality is greater than or equal to Expectations then happiness is felt, if not then unhappiness is felt.]" - Mo Gawdat

Relief and gratitude are experienced when reality is compared with something worse." - Mo Gawdat

"[Gratitude for the past, present and future; satisfaction for the past and; anticipation of the future:-] Please stop looking at what you don't have [that is better]. What you don't have [that is better] is infinite. Making that your reference point is a sure recipe for disappointment. [What you don't have that is worse is also practically infinite and comparing what you have and these is a sure recipe for relief and gratitude.]" - Mo Gawdat

[Quote No.67631] Need Area: Fun > Satisfaction
"If you decide that you're going to be happy from now on for the rest of your life, you will not only be happy, you will become enlightened. Unconditional happiness is the highest technique there is! You don't have to learn Sanskrit or read any scriptures. You don't have to renounce the world. You just have to really mean it when you say that you choose to be happy. And you have to mean it regardless of what happens [always being grateful that things are not worse]. This is truly a spiritual path, and it is as direct and sure a path to Awakening as could possibly exist.
