Why not? Here's why you should:
Joy is the state of being pleased with life no matter the circumstance. Christian though I am, I suffer from joy-deficiency syndrome. So for those like me, the joy-deficient, all we have is happy; the state of pleasure based on happenstance - circumstance dependent smiling.
We continue, keep up...If all you have is happy, your pleasure rests on either things going exactly your way (or obviously better) or you will smile for whatever pops over the horizon. In other words, you either have your way or you settle. Those are the paths to happiness!
Now things do not go how I like for good reasons: 'beneficial-to-my-well-being-and-survival' reasons. This implies, all that is left for me in my pursuit however lacksidaisical a pursuit it may be is to settle; to be okay with whatever comes through the door. How then is settling a bad thing? It is a sure way to happiness because until you die, you are guaranteed something will come through the door. If it is too big you will go out to the road to meet it - and being a 'settler' you will smile, greet it like an old friend resurrected and enjoy its company for as long as it stays. You may even miss it after it leaves.
Am I right?
