A pleasant day Fellow Mylotters, In my everyday living, I always see to it that I am doing out my best. As in every aspects of my life, every areas and every corners. However, although I am doing my best in everything, still, I cannot avoid to get sad. Just like today, as my friend asked me, why do I look sad. She is chasing me what is going on as my face looks bothered. I just replied to her, nothing wrong. I just missed something that I cannot determine what is it. Thus, I really want to enjoy life but it seems I missed something in my life.

We may not know what is it that you missed, but try to take control of your thoughts. Have you ever try to have some peace from within? Try to be alone just for one day, Try to keep thinking on is it that you want. Sometimes those unknown queries will just reveal at the right time.

You do actually sound down, even with the words you write. I can tell you what you are missing. It's up to you to accept it and believe it. Will you do that? I wonder if you will. It's quite easy but some find it hard. I did for many years but now I am older and wiser. I really admire you for making o conscious effort to do your best in all your everyday activities, that's a wonderful thing to achieve...even I am not that good. You should be really pleased with yourself to be able to do that/. Being your best should automatically make you happy but if it doesn't, you can still make the choice to be happy.

I think you feel emptiness, my friend. This is because you missed the most important things in life that is the love of God. You need to feed your soul with the words of God. You feel that way it maybe because you forget God, as the foundation of our soul and spirit...

I think we all go through those times in life. Maybe it's just a sign that one needs to take a rest or some time off from the work or something? The same exact thing happened to me. There's one time that I looked bothered then depressed then I got too irritable. Since it's affecting my work, I decided to take a vacation (2-3 days) and as soon as I return, I'm good as new :D

There is a saying that if you do the things you love to do then you'll enjoy your life more. I don't get a chance to do much except write my stories which I love to do and be on the net , walk my dog and do some cooking but I wish I could travel abroad again sometime but having not much money prevents that right now. I'll count by blessings and try to be happy with what I can do for now. Maybe, if you think about something special you'd like to do , you know ,make a "bucket list" things to do and enjoy before you die then it may come to you , the thing you're missing in your life. Good luck, My Lot, friend!

There are things in life that we wish for, we hope for and we wanted for. But there are also many reasons why these things are hard to get. That's why sometimes we are sad. I felt the same before but I composed myself and my mind, feeling sad is not good for me, I feel sick, depressed and lonely. And I don't like to get worst. That's why I manage to have fun, things that I might get busy, like mylot , It helped me, it's a theraphy to me because I can get along with my friends here. Give it a try don't waste your time being sad, there are a lot of things that can make us happy.

Yeah, you look bothered but that doesn't mean you are bothered. You missed something that you never know what it is. That exactly happened to me quite often. Until now I. never know what it is. Just get over it. The more you think about it, the more you will miss it.

I guess I am really in the same situation as you. It seems everyday is changeless, everything is unexciting, life just keep repeating itself for me. To be honest, I really don't want to be like this. I need to change, mainly psychologically.

I think this is really a place where many people do get right to from time to time. There are people who really do want to enjoy life. But there is just some kind of hole that is in their life. Just some kind of peg where they have to fill, where they just don't really know how to really enjoy a lot about life. There are just times where people just feel like they are missing something about life, just really missing everything. Granted, hopefully that this is something that can be found. It could be the little most minor thing but it is just that the more minor things that can really annoy us right to another level. It really can be extremely frustrating but that is just an unfortunate thing that is going to happen to many people. Just hopefully we are going to really find a way to really enjoy many things right in life but sometimes no matter how much we want to, life is not as enjoyable as we hope.

It's pretty sad and frustrating moment when one finds about something which he/she missed in the past just because of reluctance or any odd circumstance. So I will suggest my friend that everyone should enjoy each and every moment of his life as nobody knows how many breaths we are left with.

Sometimes it can be weather related. I know if it is too rainy or too grey outside, I do become down and lack energy. Perhaps take this time to reflect on what's been going on in your life, maybe its time to change some things up. Pamper yourself, a vacation sounds like it may be a good idea. Journaling is also very helpful when one is trying to sort out what is perhaps missing in your life. Don't take life so seriously that you forget to enjoy being in the present. Sometimes we are so focused on working, and daily routines that we forget to help ourselves.

I have had this feeling before to... i guess all you can do is think of everything that makes you happy. Sometimes it is just the way people wake up, i advise is go hang out with a friend or go to lunch with someone special. that always makes me feel better

Here are some questions to think about. How is your spiritual dimension? Have you made friends with God? Do you read the Bible daily? Joshua 1:8 American Standard Version (ASV) 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Just face it there are things that we are not yet contented not until we achieved that goal. All people has that kind of experience that is why enjoying life is not that really easy feeling especially if we encountered too many challenges in life that can really hurt us. That is only normal. It is only normal that we are still looking for what we don't have in life. But as much as possible we must be enjoying life in simple ways and be happy on what we have right now. Stay with the people who has positive outlook in life and stay away from those people who only values money as measurement to every individual and of course to those people who are in negative aspects of life.

Sheila dont accept more from life then you will feel enjoy everyday and everyday pray to God, God you gives me this day so give me some good way to spend the day. I dont know you are telling about what and why you feel something missing. But happiness and sadness is the part of life. If we accept more from God or life and not got then feel sad so try to feel happy which is you have.

Hello Airasheila :) When you have this moment in your life, whether you are sad, mad happy etc... You should try asking yourself "Why?" "Why am i feeling this way?" Sometimes it won't strike you at that moment. it can be 5 minutes later or 5 hours later maybe even 5 days later, anyways what I am trying to say is try to find out why you are feeling what ever emotion you are feeling, once you realize what caused you to feel that way, for future times; try to avoid it. In my case sometimes it actually takes me days to figure out why I was mad/sad or happy. I'm probably weird but yeah, once I know, I'll try my hardest to avoid that same situation. OR just try to do things you love, then you will always be happy! :)

hey somewhere it is good for you because when we satisfies with our happiness we surrender ourselves and don't want to try again to achieve more than we get.but if you feel that you are missing something in your happy moment then try to realize yourself that what do you want from yourself.the answer in within you actually.

Maybe you're just feeling a little empty today. Perhaps you need a little more time alone to think what's missing in your life. Or maybe it's really just like a flu that would pass after a while.
