Glück ist Wirklichkeit minus Erwartungen.

(As far as I know think this saying originated in Hinduism in the first place and found its way into the german linguistic area somehow)

I know it as "Glück ist Erreichtes minus Erwartetes.", pretty much the same.
I'm surprised it's not a massive singular compound word
Awesome. Thanks for sharing! There's a lot of wise words of wisdom from the eastern religions
