How to live a happy life, are you HAPPY?

There is really no perfect life. Its an ideal but imaginable one. The real life has so many problems and challenges. So, how can we still be happy despite of this? The secret to that is how you see your life. You can interpret it in any way you want it and that will declare whether your life is happy or not. We can have a happy life even when facing such challenges in life. We just need to always look on the brighter side so as to compensate for all the problems we are encountering. And most importantly, we should learn how to pray. Only God can help us be stronger every time we fall. :)

I am happy by spending lots of time with my family, friends and pets. I also like to do some hobbies which include traveling to different countries, writing stories, reading books walking in the countryside, strolling along at the seaside, going swimming and when I get the chance doing some snorkeling. I like to maintain good health by eating a healthy diet and taking moderate exercise. I like to think back to happy times in the past if I ever feel a bit sad. I find listening to music can make me dance and improve my happiness. I feel happy today because I have done some important jobs around my home and garden.

Hi katie: Although there's no secret for happiness, in my case I enjoy the beautiful simple things that I've done everyday. Watching a picture, reading some news on the net, filling my routine or finding something new usually are a good source of inspiration that bring me happiness. I don't think you need to have big things to be happy. Of course when you copmplete a goal you feel happy but it's not only on these things. It's rather on the everyday facts that you can find your own happiness. ALVARO

I think, happiness depends on how you respond to what's going on with your life.. If you are facing difficulties, you must see the brighter side on it and take it as a challenge.. In that way, you are aiming for something good. If you respond to the situation negatively, you will surely have problems.. You can't enjoy yourself. You can't feel happiness. So, let's take every difficulties as a challenge for us and not make a problem, a problem...

I've accepted that I am the key to my happiness. Getting influenced to do positive things. Smiling in my days and nights. Doing right by this world we live in. Being fearless to take a risk so happiness can manifest.

for me to live a happy life is to be contented on what you have and never ask for more. don't compare your life to other people to avoid insecurities. just keep smiling and every time you wake up in the morning just say thank you to God for another day that he gave, that your still alive. :) me, we are not rich, but we are not poor. i'm happy because I have my family with me I can see, hug them everyday. I have friends who are there every time i'm sad or even happy. we have home, we can eat 3 times a day, I am studying in a good school with enough money in my wallet. life is too short so never waste time to become happy :) live life to the fullest!

The Secret to Happiness? Change the way you think =) remember that Life is too short to frown. Be contented and appreciate with what you have. We are only given one life to live and think that you are luckier than some people in this world. there might be some people wanting to trade lives with you. someone who must be ill, wanting and praying to trade lives with you. Thank God for your life. Be happy!

For me happiness means being able to see the everyday miracles of life no matter how simple it is. When there's food on the table, when i see children playing and laughing, when i hear the birds chirping, when i am playing with my dogs and cat, whenever i made a sale, whenever i hear music, when i realized that my body parts are all complete, whenever i watch movies and so many other things. I believe we are living in an imperfect world but God always sees me thorough all the difficulties in life. Hope is what i always cling too, His mercies, love and strength made me see that life is so beautiful no matter how imperfect it is. :)

Balanced life is real happy life. Secret of happy life is first a healthy family. When every one are healthy in life, they will have healthy thoughts and environment will be balanced and everyone will understand importance of happiness in life and starts to enjoy it! When each family is happy, next the whole world will be happy too!

I am happy for what I have now, I am happy because I know GOD is always in me. He guides me and loves me unconditionally. It is because of GOD i am a strong women, a happy and contented women.

We can have everything together in life.If we try to find our happiness in that resources which we have in our hand then we will become happy.I belive Love is the most important thing,which we cannot buy with money.I have found my true Love in my hubby.That is the secret of Happiness for me.

Hi katie0! Great discussion you have posted here! For me, happiness is a choice. Although, sometimes it is hard to be happy when everything is going wrong but I always look for the rainbow after the rain. And yes, I try to remain positive as I can for this help me to overcome all obstacles and trials that I experience in my life. I always see my cup as half full instead of half empty. I tried to be a loving wife, good friend and do my best to be able to help others. When I have done the things I have mentioned I feel happy. The kind of happiness that is long-lasting. One thing that makes me happy is to count my blessings. When I think of all the blessing that God has given me in my life, I feel grateful and I feel very lucky to be the recipient of such blessings. I have a loving and caring husband and God gave us two wonderful daughters. I have friends who are very supportive, relatives who are always there to support me in all the things that I do. And just knowing that I am a child of God and that I am His one small miracle makes me feel special and very joyful inside out. Thanks for reading!

i think to take any thing serious on your heart is the main cause of our worries. Take every thing as a fate from our Allah and leave every thing on Him it is the main secret of happiness of our life
