Isn't this demotivating? You're lowering your expectations to match reality instead of changing reality to meet your expectations.

That all depends on what you want to be motivated to do. Do you want to be motivated to try and change reality, even if you can't, or do you want to be motivated to find "happiness" (actually "lack of suffering", but we'll deal with the meme's language for now).

It’s demotivating to me that I would have to change reality in order to find more happiness. Finding greater happiness in my reality, feels like the dream!
