Good question! One way to achieve both things is to spend time anticipating relatively certain future pleasures and also lower your expectations concerning how future complex (and thus uncertain) events will play out.
Good point, but since an accurate model of the future is helpful, this may be a case where you should purchase your warm fuzzies separately.
(Since people tend to make overly optimistic plans, the two strategies might be similar in practice.)
