I'm very delighted to what I have become today. All of the stupid things I have done before has made me who I am now and I never regret any of them. I appreciate everything and everyone around me. Life is amazing! We just have to go through a lot of storms before seeing the rainbow. And also, happy are the people who appreciate everything that they have today and be more thankful of what they will get tomorrow. Make a beautiful life. The kind of life you deserve! More power to everyone and God bless!

One thing about living a healthy life with less worries is appreciating every little thing you came to each day may it be good or bad. When you think that these events are things that will do you good in the future, is the best way to be thankful al the time to achieve true happiness

Yes, so very true! :) You learn from it, whether it is good or bad.. There's always a lesson hidden somewhere there and it will be useful in the future!

It is extremely true that being able to appreciate will bring forth happiness. If a person never really appreciate things around him or her, that means the person may not have been satisfied and such person would never be satisfied. Thus, whatever that has been given will not be able to bring happiness. A behavior change is definitely necessary.

Indeed! A change (to be good, for good) is a must to each and everyone! We should all be contented of everything that we have and should not ask for more. If we want anything, we should be working for it and we will get it. But, what we can achieve and get... we really need to be thankful for it. We don't have to pressure ourselves! Because, if one thing is for us, it will be for us!

i have learned to be content with the stuff i have and not have to have the latest gizmo or gadget. you have to make every day special and enjoy each day with what you are given.

yes. if one learns to appreciate others then he is fifty per cent happy person and a complete person. those who are not satisfied only will not be appreciating others. Stupid things -- we make many decisions--some of them turn out to be not correct one. cannot help it. forget and be running in the life race. good day.

I made a move and just started to live a new life, appreciate every little good and bad things that came my way.. and now, I am a career young woman. All praises to God for making me so strong by His words. God bless you and happy myLotting as well.

Everyone has their own desire on how to be happy, I am glad that you found the happiness the you deserve. As for me, I am still on my way on being really happy.. though I have not yet achieve the things that I want for myself and for my family, but still I am trying do hard for it.. I hope that maybe tomorrow when God permits it I would be able to tell myself that finally I am happy.

Hi emdjay! :) Well, we humans have really different desire of happiness. For me, as simple as being appreciative and appreciated makes me happy. I believe you will find it soon. God will guide you through it! :)

I think you are very right! When I think about all the things that I have to be thankful for, it is almost overwhelming! It is so easy to forget and take things for granted, but then I remember that even in difficult situations in life, I have always made it through and been reminded of how much I appreciate those in my life. I think God has used even those bad situations in my life to show me how much greater He is than my circumstances! . When I think of the most miserable person I know, I realize that he is also the most ungrateful person I know. I think if he would finally learn to be more appreciative in life, he would be so much happier!

It is! :) I know its hard to be appreciative in times that we don't have nothing or in times that we are so mad or so down... I know, I have been there.. But, I realize if olnly I was appreciative that time, I'd feel great and would just move on and do something to make everything feel good! :)

hi edsss have not seen you in my lot for awhile. I learned that in the last few years that if I truly give thanks for what I do have and really appreciate I am happy even though I am living where I never wanted to be, in a retirement center. but circumstances became critical son lost his job and as I lived with him it affected me too , took all o ur earning paying rent, got behind in the rent and were evicted. so my son got help for males who were homeless and jobless so they had a place to live while hunting for jobs, and I got put here.some unkind person here at mylot suggested I was here free which is stupid,mean and untrue,my social security and ss I checks pay for room and board each month. which leaves a small amt for me to live on for personal needs.So I make myself happy and mylotting helps both emotionally and financially.

I agree that happiness is about appreciating what you have and the people you share with in life. If we do not come to appreciate these things there is little room for happiness to be welcomed. I think that the more trials and circumstances we go through in life, the more we come to appreciate and understand the world. that is when true happiness can step in and enrich our lives.

You know, I think rough experiences and challenges in life is only like a test. It test us to be strong and stand on our feet and also it test us how are we gonna handle everything. And also, if we appreciate it for making us strong or just forget it.. That's my view!

You have the right idea there my friend!! Life is good and I know that sometimes we all forget that from time to time but as long as at the end of the day you are thankful for what you have.. then you are truly blessed:) Positive thinking is the key to dreams and a good reality I say. Am I crazy? who knows but if I am I am, not alone!
