What do you think of the secret to still enjoy life in a tough world?

It is really a tough world today and I asked myself many times why. I learned from my experience that it is still possible to enjoy life in such a world. A general rule is to eliminate stress of unemployment, if there is the case. Each of us can find what is the best way for each case. There are still profitable busyness to do in time of crisis, but you have to search and choose. This way you will no longer have to worry for tomorrow. Continuous worry for the daily needs in case of lack of money is killing the joy of life. Second, try to love and be loved and have a family to support each other. If you have at least one good friend or family friend it's a very good thing. Isolation is an enemy because you will not have any help in case you need it.

You're right. Life is not that easy but for me to survive, I have to be strong. Not physical prowess of course but strong emotionally to get through all the problems that I've encountered. I am a very tough person and I'm proud to say that prayers helped me with my problems. I have recovered from an illness so does my husband and kids and these because I believe of my strong faith in God and my determination to survive. I'm contented with what I have and does not crave for excess; as long as I am with my family and we're in good health, well these make me enjoy life.

I know that for others it is already difficult to enjoy life because of the reasons that you have mentioned. Before I was so stressed myself that I feel like everything is turning so difficult. I felt like I was never happy and I was always crying. I was always looking life at a bigger picture and forgot to see little things anymore. I guess I am fortunate and i am always thankful that I was able to change my job. Because of this I was able to enjoy my life better. Not in the financial aspect only but more on the quality time for myself and my family. From then on my perspective change and I've noticed that it seems like things become easy. I think it is very important to have a positive mind. If you have this mind set it is easier for you to find solutions rather than to sulk and whine about life. Try your best to spend more time with your family especially your children. Children makes life beautiful. One think which is lacking for me is to learn how to meditate. I believe that through that you can free yourself and clear your mind. I would also want to restore my relationship with our Lord and if I will be able to do that I think i would be happier.

For me you study the bible name what the bible really tech so that you find the secret to enjoy life and contact to Jehovah witnesses over there in your country.

All the problems you mention are ground realities and many people are facing that. There are few faced by all – pollution or corruption. To enjoy life we must have job which is in our hand to get. I do not see any secret to enjoy a life without having money or basic things available. Without money you cannot survive for long time. May be just living for the sake of it and the day will come when its gone.

Hey there. I know the world is going bad and its not so bad. Everyone has a different perception to look at the world. Don't be negative while looking at the world. See in ancient times, there were kings and they were all not so good. Some of them were generous, but most of the times they acted like monsters. Whatever came in the king's mind the thing has to be done. Maybe he liked someone's land, he took it, maybe he liked someone's daughter, he took it, maybe he disliked any person's work, he would order him to hang him. I feel we are living in a much better world, wherein the common man has the right to fight against injustice, at least he can raise the voice. We have right to go to school, educate ourselves, select the stream we are inclined to and live a happy life. I am aware that there are lots of problems in today's world too, but to overcome that, there is a simple solution. Give love to lots of people and that will be returned. From the beginning the Almighty is giving this message only to all humans, that love each other, forgive each other and leave in peace. But we humans don't follow that and you see the results. But I am still sure, that one day humans will realize the value of loving each other (not only our friend circle or relations) and the earth will evolve as a great planet, and the Almighty will be proud of us and smile.

The best way to enjoy life is to think about money very little. Whenever a person thinks of money or misery or a lack of funds so much what can often happen is that the quality of life is disrupted. People just have to do the best they can and while you think about things, rely on God or faith or the people around you that bring happiness to you. It's no use to keep whining and whining because it very seldom gets anywhere.

i dont have a secret, and yes it is true that times now are tough. but i found someone who is perfectly fit for me. married with her for 7 years now and we have a 4 years old son. living in a tough world for me enjoying it is living it with someone you really love and care. living with someone who will laugh at you in the middle of crisis. someone who can be there to tap your back and say hey its alright. count your blessings too is one of the things you can do. what you have right now and be grateful to it. i am from a third world country and there are more of what exampled you mentioned up there and not only one but if you will always focus your mind on those negative you will be stress and tired just thinking of it. cool down. enjoy life. smile, hug someone. hug is a great gift - one size fits all, and it's easy to exchange, so dont be shy to give a hug.

The secret is meditation, through it you can achieve many things in life, here in London we have so many courses offered and I also take part in it so it is the best way to be able to maintain a good balance of the mind and the world outside.

The secret of enjoying life in a tough world is thinking about the things that are going well in your life. The things in your life that bring you a great deal of joy. There has to be something in your life that is making you extremely happy and making life a blast. Unless you are the most miserable person in the world and even then, there still has to be something. I think as bad as life as could be, there is a sense that it could always be worse. Much worse. You have to enjoy life as it occurs in this day and age. Think of the positives and that will help you be able to deal with the negatives. Is it easy? Well, no but then what in life is. There will be days where everything is tough and you think you have hit the bottom. It is important to take things one day at a time.

i believe the secret to enjoy life is to be happy. Always wear a smile everytime you wake up. See things in positive ways. Never get yourself be affected of something negative. Just ignore those bad things that come your way. Share your happiness with others so others will experience happiness in their lives.

I agree with learn2learn. Prayer is a great way to stay in the spiritual rather than letting the materialistic world consume you. My goal is to help others, but I can't since I need help myself. I work online, write, and listen to my mood music. My enjoyment comes when I can help someone, socialize with others, and see a child enjoying themselves. Comedy and watching other humans enjoying themselves also makes my day. Of all these things, I still feel that putting myself in the hands of the Lord is the best way to weather these storms. Whether it's psychological as some might think or truly spiritual like I believe; the peace, calm, and beauty of knowing you are in God's hands is unbelievable. Jesus says not to worry. For me that's easier said than done. So I try to forget the worry, think about God, play my music, and work online. When evening comes, worry and any other troubles are taboo. I go to bed with a positive attitude. Maybe tomorrow I'll be in a position to help somebody.

I am a college student,and everyone reckons that we leads a life free from care. Last year,with the recession,I felt I was gonna be one of those unemployed.As the remorse rose,my mother took me to doctors. After all,mom said to me:"nothing is more important than healthy in both mental and physical.The crucial thing is that you should keep positive no matter how surroundings change.You cannot convert the trends,but you can keep yourself right here.It is all about you."
