I do a lot of Mylotting. It makes me happy.
We have different level of happiness. We have different reasons also why we are happy and enjoying life. Here are my ist.
I free my minds from worrying too much about the future. It really helps me to focus more on what I can do for the day. Too much worrying can lead to depression.
I take time to appreciate every little things around me. It makes me feel blessed and lucky to witness them. It's like cleansing my inner soul while I'm appreciating the creations of God.
Take make every trials as an opportunity to be strong and be able to comfort others who suffers the same situation with mine. Overcoming trials in life teaches us to be compassionate to others.
Trust in God, have faith in Him. He is the only source of true happiness and contentment in life.
We don't need a lot of money to enjoy life. Remember the saying that "The Best Things In Life Are For Free". The family and friends that we have are one of the reasons why we should be enjoying our life now here in this world.

I've just joined this group and I have to admit, the main reason I did it's because talking and sharing thoughts about this kind of subjects is what makes my day.
Usually, people can't enjoy life unless they are doing something "worth it", as they would call it. You know, earning money, studying, whatever. Just being able to enjoy the complete randomness of this discussions takes a lot of stress out of you.
However, I disagree on God being the only source of true happiness in you life. I strongly believe the only real source, it's yourself, happiness comes from within you.
People need to look inside themselves and only then will they be able to truly enjoy life, after all, how can you if you don't even know what you want?
I know I don't want to say this, but money makes it much easier. I'm not saying it's what matters the most, but it does play a very important part in our lives. Perhaps you like spending time with your family and want to take them to the zoo, well you have to pay for it...

No problem, I respect your opinion as well. What would be the point of joining a discussion otherwise?

Really enjoying life is not as hard as we might really think it is. There are just many things in life that are going to bring us a great deal of joy to say the very least. And many of those things should be done to really highten our enjoyment of life. There are going to be some extremely dark days, some dismal times, life wouldn't be life without some ups and downs when you really think about it. But really you got to enjoy much about life.
So really just making the most out of life, where you really just need to put a smile on your face. And put a smile on the face of other people. It is really just its own reward. I just rather feel pleased with the joys that life has right with me and there are just going to be many more before it is all said and done. Hope that there are just going to be great things right in life. Life is good, but enjoy the ride as it lasts.

I also have my own ways to enjoy my life. The fact that my boyfriend is there with me who is motivating and inspire me then of course I consider myself as happy as well.

I too do a lot of mylotting. It makes me happy at times, and other times I'm frustrated. Not at Mylot but because it takes a lot of time to really earn a decent days work. I do agree that too much worrying leads to depression. I definitely have to work on that. As I'm more so lately always focusing on earning because I need to set aside more money for savings. And that gets me frustrated because it takes so long. I'm glad that you are keeping your atitude positive and focusing on what's important to you. Thanks for sharing your encouraging thoughts with us.

I think that everybody has different ideas about what they want to do in their lives, and the most important thing that we have to remember is that we all have to do the things that make us happy and not waste our time worrying about those who might have a problem with that. I enjoy buying properties and doing them up and then renting them out, but my parents don't think that this is a valid thing to want to do with the rest of my life. I don't agree and, because of this, I fully intend to carry on following my dreams and doing the things that I enjoy.

If we are always grateful, we will be able to enjoy life itself. Thankful with what we already have, make us not want something too much. Lord, give us the portion corresponding fortune. We should be grateful, would fortune that has been given by God to us.

I guess for me is too enjoy the smaller things in life rather that being materistic or being envy or jealous of other people or listening to other people negative thinking and comments which are usually to destroy people confident and faith.BE content with what we have because they are always people who are worst than us. Able to keep a calm mind is good also for happiness too.

Your thoughts are wonderful . Happiness depends on us purely . If we make situation enjoyable and adjust with all that comes our way we can enjoy life and be happy . My motto in life is "Be happy and spread happiness" . I rejoice in my Lord and whatever situation , how difficult it may be I try to overcome with confidence and putting my worries on my Lord . In this way I am laways happy and I always try to make others happy .
MyLotting gives me a lot of pleasure and it is real fun to interact with friends , learn new things while we earn .
Happy MyLotting and have a nice day

life is somehow quite easy if we take it easy. And to be a human, the first lesson we should learn is to live a happy life and to be yourself whenever you have time and wherever you may be.

all things in life are free. yes it is true however at present we need money to enjoy life to the fullest. we have our own way toe enjoy life, others enjoy life by sleeping the whole day,others are by eating a lot everyday, others must have to reach their goal to enjoy their lives. every individual has its own style of living and so we are. it is true that the best things in life are for free for those who only have simple dreams. however to those want to have everything (greediness i should say)their is nothing free in this world. :)

I do not know if I am happy - but I am peaceful, grateful and have a general 'good feeling'...but I am also aware that the world is in a very real crisis. I recognize that Life is about the little things but there are people that do not have access to the little things etc, and this disturbs the peace of mind that I worked so hard to achieve.
Being grateful helps me, focusing on the love and light in the world. My question is, how do we lessen the shadow? By owning our own? By ignoring it? Just questions, thoughts, reflections.
I do not worry but I do question and the more you question, you see that something is not right in this world. That said, we do have an abundance of beauty around us - all we have to do is look UP, and then for a moment, it all makes sense to me.
In summary, gratitude feeds my soul and gives me a semblance of happiness but it will never stop my questioning the status quo.

I agree that to be happy in life you don't need a lot of money. MMoney and material things do not bring happiness. I think to be truly happy in life you need to be content with yourself and have inner satisfaction. Just spending time at home with my family and friends makes me happy, I don't even need to go osmewhere on a vacation with them to feel happy. We can find happiness in small things in life such as the smile of my child gives me the immense happiness that nothing else can give to me in my life...

Im new to Mylot and this is my first response. I just wanted to say I agree, that happiness and life is what you make it. Learning to let go of things you have no control over, helps to alleviate stress and anxiety. And most of all the best things in life are free, my family is the best, and without them I would be lost. Thanks for reminding people to remember to appreciate the small things in life.
