Being happy though hard times.

I agree with you. I'm sure we all have at one time or another in our life have had a hard time trying to present ourselves as being happy to others. There is a lot of stress and anxiety going on around us and with our own lives. I know that my life has been really stressful with these last two years. And I have been looking for ways to improve it. Lately since I have been under so much stress I've tried readjusting my priorities. Focusing on what I know is important for my daughter and I. Doing the things that I know will benefit myself and my daughter.

Happiness for me is the result of having positive thoughts, appreciating simple things in life and trying to maintain and sustain goals in life. I think that if we learn to appreciate what we have, be thankful everyday for our life's blessings, maintaining a positive outlook of life, having lifelong friends and being close to family that would relatively tend towards happiness.

It is very hard to remain happy at all the time because we people face different situations at different instant. Living the days only with happiness is really boaring. Life is wonderful when you have all the emotions together them only a life become an real with quite excitement.

Being positive in every trials I encounter help me to overcome my stress. As long as you decided to be happy despite the struggles. Its enough for me to know that God is with me every time I need Him.

yeah youre right, it is difficult to a person for being always happy especially having trials or difficulty on life , but do not forget how to interact to other people around you even if you are in bad mood , always smile and be humble, it is easy to find that happiness especially if you are not alone.. you have your FAMILY, your FRIENDS ,and firstly dont forget to always pray to GOD.

Being happy is really hard specially with the situation which are frustrating but we are all subject to change I mean when you really want to be happy then help yourself focus on the brighter future, The precious moments you have and appreciate the things that was given to you and in that ways at least you can put a little smile on your face.

Hello there. Happiness can't be achieve while thinking about problem(s). For me, when I stumble upon such problem like stress I'll stop thinking about it and think about God. As example, I'll think about why God give that problem to me or what I did wrong that God punish me by making me stumble upon the problem(s). Another method, I'll hear soft-rhythm music such as jazz. By doing so, my body and mind will become more relax and somehow I'll get the solution to my problem unconsciously.

I used to disagree to people before, whenever I hear them saying that happiness is a choice. As a person who values, feelings and emotions much, i really had a hard time believing in it because it used to appear to me as an escape goat from what is really being felt. For a truly sad or hurt individual, it wouldn't be easy to just accept that what she or he is feeling is also a choice if the earlier is the case. But then as I have gone through a lot of experiences in life more than just being lonely, I realized that somehow what they're saying is true. One wouldn't achieve the happiness or contentment that he or she is aspiring to have if he or she will not start choosing to have it. It's not literally saying to one's self that "I'm Happy" just to be one... but it's more of choosing to do things that would make him/her feel light... to spare one's self from dwelling on what makes him or her sad...to allow one's self to be with positive people... Maybe it would be clearer to say that Happiness is a result of our choices,,,

yes, it is hard to stay happy if you feel like the world is pushing down on you with all the problems life throws at you.. But still, we should push too and look happy especially for the ones we love s they won't worry.

I am now having lot of trial. What I did was allowing myself to discover the reason behind those trials. In every way, God guides us that we should allow Him to comfort us.

you cant fake happiness but you can pretend that your happy. Life is not balance if the only thing rules is happiness. trials make us to be a better and strong person. It tests our faith to God and tests how we solve the problems. Life is a matter of teach and learn. Just enjoy life. Dont force yourself to be happy it adds more burden but instead live it as if your last. Live life to the fullest because life has no turning back.

They say that being happy doesn't take any effort. Happiness is the state of human mind. I've faced a lot of challenges in life. Trials that made me wiser especially in making decisions. Sometimes it's hard to be happy when in fact you're deeply wounded. Life won't be so meaningful and colorful if there won't be any challenges/trials. Despite all these trials, what makes me happy is seeing my parents happy and knowing that they love me unconditionally plus true friends whom I can lean on. Life is too short, once in a while we also need time to relax and be happy. There are a lot of things to be happy for.
