- Mike Tyson

Lately, I’ve been thinking about intent, expectations, and how we interpret outcomes.

Unhappiness = Point of View × (Expectations – Reality)

Many have spoken about the beauty of imperfection. Take Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese philosophy that embraces impermanence and incompleteness. I have my own version: PERFCET. It’s about striving toward a goal while staying open to unexpected pivots, detours, and discoveries... often better than the original plan.

Most frustration lives in the space between expectation and reality. Perspective determines how we experience that gap.

“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”
– Seneca
