So I look for beauty everywhere... focus on the things that matter most, and understand that not everything can be the textbook definition of "perfect" or the way I want them to be.
I don't feel that I'm "satisfied by mediocrity," or blind to reality, but rather that I've learned to appreciate the things that bring me joy, without trying to put endless conditions on them.
That's a great way to look at life!

Similar attitude here. I try to live thinking that there are bad things but also 1,000 beautiful things each and every day. I just try and look for those 1,000 beautiful things(thank you, Annie Lennox). It sure ain't easy sometimes.
