be happy no matter what.

Life is too short to be unhappy!
People (including myself) should stop reacting to the little things in a negative way and think about the positives – of course this is easier said than done.

But changing your view on life is the first step to happiness. Be positive – people will probably be positive towards you (if they’re not – they’re not worth your time) and everyone will be happier!

No matter where life takes me, I want to be happy. I’m happy with most things in my life but I’m so worried about focusing on the things that I’m doing wrong rather than staying on the topic of what I’m doing right. I’m A very positive person; and try to stay on the bright side, but I seems as if I’m liveing my life too fast, and need to find more things to do in this little boring town, to make me happy!

I think the minute you really find yourself or accepted you really know. I had always kind of felt like a work in progress. Not yet quiet done. When I finally accepted this is who I am this is what I like. Then I think I was able to focus on just those things I wanted more of. I learned to gage myself in what I wanted and wanted out of my life. Now I can feel strong enough to say no or just to hear someone out when they want me to do something that is not part of goals and I have no problem saying no. I do like to be contribute and help out. But, I was getting too many requests that were pulling me in all sorts of directions that I had no idea where I was going. I was tired and would ball out crying. I felt it was out of hands. This site has definetly helped a lot to write out my goals and see the progress I make on them little by little. I didn’t have much of a support system when I really needed it. This site has helped me to be supportive of myself.

I’m appreciating what I got much more in life now. And, making the best of things. I am happy with my life. The way it turned out. I am at peace. Sometimes things are hard but I feel much more empowered now to change them. It is up to me no matter what.

now. here’s the thing.

happiness is dependent on what you’re surrounded by.
it’s just an emotion.

you have to find joy. which is more of a state of mind, rather than an emotion.

happiness isn’t everlasting.
it can’t be.

joy, on the other hand, always is.

GOOD BAD OR OTHER WISE, I NEED TO SEE HAPPINESS IN WHAT I HAVE, WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AND WHAT I AM LEARNING. ALL GOOD IS GREAT, BAD THINGS ARE ONLY EXPERIENCES TO GROW AND LEARN FROM, AND PURE JOY IN “MOMENTS” CAN BE TRULY APPRECIATED.
