Happiness Quote

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. – Erich Fromm, 1900-1980, German-American Psychologist

And I proffer the following happiness version…

Happiness requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Think about it. Believing in certainties will always cause a degree of un-happiness and frustration as the expectation of certainty is essentially unrealistic. On the other hand, those who accept the reality of imperfection and uncertainty are more likely to experience positive emotions such as happiness.
