Are you ready to be happy now?

Good idea. Although I have a better one. It involves half an ounce of weeds and a glass tube. You'll be happy instantly after two minutes.

I agree. In times like this I just try to be optimistic and think about happy thoughts that would somehow motivate me to go on. Right now I'm trying hard to connect with people again. I've lost my sense of belongingness with others that even if I spend some really wonderful time with them, I just couldn't feel anything anymore. But what you said is right. I could change if I just trust life. I'll just let it be and be happy and not complicate things anymore. I'll try.

So very true and I needed to be reminded of that today. I'm having some health problems that promise to make life difficult soon, so I need to remember that how happy I am is my choice, not that of circumstances.

Happiness can be a way of life! I never argue with life, nor do I trust that it will turn out ok. As I create my life moment by moment, and day by day, the happiness factor is built in, and it's been that way for over half a century. My family and I have had many happy Years together!

It is up to each individual if they are happy or not. I believe that one can be happy no matter what. If they allow everything to bother them, then no they won't be happy. I say, let go and live to the fullest. A lot of things cannot be changed wo why worry and be unhappy. Smile everyone, you are still alive. For that you should be happy.

Yes I think i am ready to be happy now,knowing that everything can never be turned back anymore..Ironically we can no longer turn back the time, sometimes i feel sad about the things I have lost and about the things i haven't told to people who matter..BUT now I AM SETTING myself FREE from sadness and READY to be HAPPY... :)

Happiness is something special that you create in your life. Happiness is not something that is given to you.

Oh you are so right. I work with a young lady that comes in all crabby. then apologizes later saying she just is out of sorts...I tell her...you know being happy is a conscience decision you make in the morning when you get up...if you decided to have a happy day it usually turns out that way...if you decided to be crabby....well you are missing so very much!

Hi Pose: I am not only ready to be happy now but I am a happy man now. Of course I have problems and I have dreams. I want to be a better person, I'm saving money and I'm doing things that will help me being a better professional. But even if there are a lot of things to do for my life, they are an inspiration for me. I think I can be happy and I'm actually happy with all the blessings that I receive everyday. Thanks for this beautiful message Pose. Have a nice day. ALVARO

I totally agree with you. Happiness is a choice. If we choose to be happy we can be by getting contented with simple things like children do. Children have the genuine happiness when they play and they can easily be satisfied with just a candy. As we get older though, life becomes more complicated and it becomes more difficult to find happiness because we expect more in life. But that is not right. Last Sunday, i chose to be happy by not expecting anything but be contented of what was being offered. I decided not to feel pain and to be hurt by giving and not just receiving.

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pore on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them.Thee way of happiness keeps your heart free from hate and your mind from worries. We can enjoy real happiness when we make others happy.

Happiness is the object and the design of our existence...We can be happy if we chose to be happy, happiness is a choice, it is just how you see things in life, true happiness is a feeling that no one can buy and cannot be bought.

I am a happy person. It doesn't mean that I don't have my bad days but I live my life as much I can. I really live my life. I try to smile and just think about good things. Like my family my job( that somtimes drives me crazy) my friends etc. I agree with you. People think that they can just be happy if something really special happens in they life what is really sad because each day of our life is soo special.

Yes of course. i always feel happy. and every minute we must find time to be happy but of course, there are times that when we have problems that bothers me, i also feel sad but still i try myself to feel happy. i divert my attention to other things that worthwhile and make me smile. we can never buy happiness, we found happiness even in the simplest way. let us not allow bad things to ruin our moments. Just be yourself.

Pose- I am very happy right now in life, right here in the present. It doesn't matter to me who is doing what, what is being done, save what I am doing now. Wherever life's journey takes me is where I am to be at that moment in time and that is what it is. When we fight against such things is when we find the most pain. When we become jealous of another's journey in life is when we find suffering. Namaste-Anora

Yes, pose. You are right, we can be happy right now. We can plan, work things out, work for the better and be content in ourself, be proud of the things we are blessed with and be happy having faith in God. God provides us security and we have to help ourselves too. Though we might lose our dearest of dears there are still others who need us and care for us. I am actually happy after my break up last week because i was being too giving and i was wasting it on someone who didn't deserve my golden heart. I don't regret she having used me but she only fooled herself and she will never forget me for life, i know, but i can forget her. I will simply find someone better. Things were really hard last week but as of this moment i am happy. I am happy God has plans for me. Praise the Lord.

Happiness to me is allowing myself to be okay with what is, as you put it. In Singapore many do not see you as human when you do put out any bling bling. But that is their loss. I do get unhappy too because of the above but most of it will be because I am super gouchy at that timeof the month. But its okay I am already past forty so there is less than ten years to go. i wonder what my state of happiness will be then.

I'm not only ready but I realize I always could have been. Happiness was all this time a choice, we can bother about the little things, we can go back to the past and suffer twice or we can let go, start to forgive people...

Touching words, my friend. We should be happy with what we have, not what we imagine to have. Life goes by in a blink of an eye. Don`t regret anything.
