Sounds a bit Epicuran.
I like these ones from him,( Epicurus).
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
The man least dependent upon the morrow goes to meet the morrow most cheerfully.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

One of my more recent favorites, from banjo player/songwriter ("Gentle on My Mind")/paddlewheel steamboat pilot John Hartford:
"My art consists in doing what I enjoy. That way, if others also enjoy it, well and good. And if not, at least I haven't wasted my time."
