Are you happy?

Is anyone on this site that is reading this question completely content with their life? I have thought about it and I feel like there are always things that I will want and not get, things that I will ask people to do and they won't, something that will go wrong when everything is going right, ect. and I'm sure many other people feel this way. For those of you that feel completely happy with your life, why do you feel this way and what makes you so sure?

It's a fact that man often will let you down - sure, there are things I'd like to have, but they are just that 'things' (materiel possessions), but I look around me and realize I am indeed richly blessed - nice house/income to pay the bills/car and house paid for/great country/one of the world's best doggie, etc - all of us have ups and downs but He stays the same and sees us through the valleys - I am (not feel) happy/content with my life because (what makes me sure) I have a personal relationship with my Savior who guides my steps/promises to always be with me and is in total control of all things...Take care !!

I am completely happy with my life. My life doesn't revolve around wanting things. Life to me is more about taking control of emotional or physical desires & evaluating what I need, rather than what I want. This in itself brings happiness. I don't really know why I feel this way. If something doesn't go the way I would like, I guess I just take it in my stride, it's a lesson in understanding what is really important & learning to be positive in the face or adversity. If I was to loose everything I have today, sure it would be a terrible thing, but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I believe something good will always come from something bad...and I suppose that belief just keeps me going. But everyone is different & some people just find it harder to deal with difficult situations. Be positive...that's what life is all about...everything is a lesson & not everything will go your way. Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

There are definitely ups and downs no matter what, but I feel completely content even through those things. I'm not sure whether this is what you're looking for, but I feel happy because of my religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). I absolutely believe its truth, and it gives me the feeling that everything will be okay no matter what happens. When I follow what is taught, I feel overjoyed. I can see a huge difference in my happiness level when I live by what the church teaches rather than when I don't. I would be absolutely delighted to answer any of your questions if you are interested.

I am not happy at all

I'm happy with my life. But other people aren't happy with my life. But oh well.

This is a very good question.. I've been asking myself and other around me lately, what is it like to be happy?? Why is it that something always comes between me and happiness?? I used to think I was the happiest girl in the world and I was living a fairytale life, until lately.. Reality hit.. Fairytales really aren't true!! So, are you all just chasing this imaginary thing people call happiness?? I'm beginning to think so.. I guess we just need to take wahat we have and make the best out of it, right?? Quit looking for something better, quit wishing for someone/something different.. Cause life is not perfect.. I can't wait to hear more input on this subject.. Very good question.

As long as you are happy with YOUR life, who cares if other's arent?

Well well well.No one life is simple.No matter what happen,life have to go on.There are no such thing as commit suicide.As if you do,you are a coward.People who commit suicide becuase of life obstacles are really a coward.As they choose to run away from the problem.Who's life have no obstacles?Im very sure that everyone's life have it.Instead of crying or commit suicide,why not think of a way to overcome it as it will soon turn to be some life lessons.So as I say,no matter what happen life have to go on.So make everyday be a happy day is better than sad,angry,disappointed day.Cheerful people usually are those more popular one or live longer ones. ^^

there are times when anyone feels completely content with their lives, but this seldom lasts long because life does happen. even if you aren't completely content with your life you can mask your unhappiness with alcohol or drugs and for that brief moment in time when those substances are in your body you feel content. it's different for all people. for some people its sex. for others food. but for many of us true happiness is always followed by drama, death, or misery. drama is life...that is all. its all what you make of it

I am happy, but a lot of things have been coming down on me lately and it seems like as soon as I get a little ahead, something knocks me back! It's frustrating and I feel like I can never be truely content with life when it is testing me so much! I feel like I don't ask for a lot and I just want to see the benefits of my hard work! As soon as I get a smile on my face, I get news that wipes it right off! But that is life I guess...

Life isn't perfect. It's not meant to be!
But I'm pretty happy with the way mine is. Sure, I'm a teenager. I don't have a boyfriend. My family are all pretty close. I haven't really had that much to deal with that could make my life bad.
All the same, I'm happy the way my life has turned out.
I don't believe that just sitting around will make your life any better. I try hard at school. I help people. I enjoy every moment of my life. If anyone isn't happy with life, take my advice: Enjoy yourself! Don't worry about what you don't get, think about what you have!

No-one is completly happy with life, they can't be! I am fairly happy, I s'pose.
