Do statements like this set us up for unhappiness?

Trying to get it right.

That is a tough statement to live up to. Many expectations.

Years ago (I start many thoughts this way) I heard a comedian being interviewed on morning radio while driving to work.  He said that he had discovered the key to happiness in three words.  And, I will not keep you in suspense any longer.  The words are:

LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS

There it is.  If you have been looking high and low. Gazing at your navel and wondering.  Staring in the mirror and asking yourself questions.  Shuffling your feet and randomly talking out loud. You now have your answer.

The simplicity of the statement leaves me curiously smiling and pondering.
