A Good Way to Lower Your Standards

... And live slightly more relaxed. I'm a picky guy, always comparing what I have to what others have. Its a habit I'm trying to kick, trust me. Anyways, one random day I thought of something to say whenever my pickyness gets in the way of me enjoying what I have:

"Though things are supposed to be, they may not be, and so what is we should embrace."

Though there are rebuttals to this kind of thinking (such as how far down should you allow yourself to lower your standards, and why should you compromise with what you have if you're not enjoying it fully?) it's helped me cool down and embrace the moment.

I invite you to take this philosophy and develop it so that it makes sense for you.
