Are you happy in your life?

On a Happier Note

happy Life can often be filled with the good, bad, and the ugly and making a difference to you yes I said you, can only happen if you’re willing to admit what you expect in your world as there is no magic bullet and the old adage you can’t be loved until you find out how to love yourself applies to how you live and how much pleasure you can feel while existing in this cruel world.

Thus ask yourself what makes you feel good and think of the many things you haven’t done then formulate a plan if only in your mind as to how to live and feel the joy of a long walk or dinner with a friend you haven’t seen in awhile ask yourself who you are and maybe during that dinner or coffee you have, ask how they see you, listen to what they say and ascertain if it’s how you feel about yourself you might be surprised. One of my blogging friends has a site for self esteem www.womensselfesteem.com click on the link and read some of her information because it really all begins with you and what you think of who you are and yes you have to approve of yourself before you can love and find true happiness and it isn’t measured by how much money you make or the material things you own, it’s that contentment you feel after along hard days work and the desire to come home and experience peacefulness be it a mansion or an apartment the opulence doesn’t make the feelings happen appreciate you can only drive one car, sit on one chair at a time and feel good or bad about yourself no matter where you are. Thus it’s time to ask are you are happy with your life and if not decide how to change it one step at a time, work towards achieving good feelings about yourself in order to experience the wonderful opportunities around you so go for it click on the blog above and see if you need to gather more confidence about you and do it because your in control and until you make the choice and begin the process life can seem pretty dismal and it doesn’t have to be that way so if it seems too simple to accomplish start by getting to like yourself and improving your own self esteem, what do you have to loose verses what you can gain that is unless you’d rather be unhappy in life then don’t bother.

Awesome self-awareness post Dorothy!

You are speaking words of wisdom and truth in this post.
The first and most vital key to being happy with life is directly up to each individual. To be able to be happy with who they are is their sole responsibility. Self-acceptance and self-love is where one should start.
If you have that…there is not one person or one thing that can tell you different.

Thank you so much for your efforts in sharing womensselfesteem.com’s message!

I love what you wrote in this post. So many people look to the outside to solve problems instead of looking inside. Self Awareness is so important.

I certainly agree that what we think of ourselves greatly influences are sense of happiness. I also strongly believe that the word messages we give ourselves in our private thoughts influences our feelings of happiness.

A sad fact of human nature is that we are never happy with our lot no matter how good life is, until sometimes we see someone worse off, then we start to appreciate what we have. Its a pity it has to take that jolt to make us realize it.

It all voice down to one powerful thing > CHOICE.
We have the power to choose to be happy or frown all day long.
The power to choose if we want the exterior ‘happenings’ and ‘people’ affect our mood.

Happiness can be so simple. I’ve often seen video of children in very poor countries laughing and playing, unconcerned that they should have more to be happy about. They are happy because they are playing, have their friends and family, and some food to eat that day. Everyone has the right to be happy, and if they can be in their situation, shouldn’t we?

“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne

I agree about looking within to be happy. No one can “give” you happiness, even though I know an awful lot of people who entered relationships with that expectation. When I catch myself thinking “poor me” I get my butt in gear and decide what I need to change to snap out of it. I have too many people who love me for me to feel sorry for myself.

Such good thoughts. If we are not happy with ourselves, we cannot be happy with anyone else. Hurting people hurt people, I think is the old adage.

Hi! Just a quick visit to say I received an invite to Google Wave. Part of the deal is that I can now invite people myself by adding their email address within my wave site so they too can have access to Google Wave. If you are interested please let me know.

Take Care,
Peter

My wife and I spend so so much time fulfilling other peoples requests, wants and not wants that we overlook ourselves in order to make good. Yes, we both work, so that obviously doesn’t help. By the time we both get home we’re both frazzled and tired. Most times, with her working 9 to 5 weekends off and me with shift work, we’re like ships passing in the night. Yes, we are like millions of others, so no use complaining, hey? But at the end of the day, we are both content and happy, knowing our children have made good and are leading their lives to the full. Hoping you are content and happy as we are with your family. By the sounds of things, you are!
