My life would be perfect if I lived near a beach. I am not one to ask much out of life I usually take whats thrown at me,so tell me what would makes you happy and what you want most out of life, apart from money and making money.

My life all that I want is my health to improve as recently it was discovered that I had sugar diabeties, it is rather bad as it was not picked up early, but I have been doing the right thing and taking my medication so all that I want is to be rid of this horrible illness

Hi Kathy, Sorry to hear you have diabetes, I have arthritis and that gets very painful at times epecially in the morning. You can have all the money in the world but if you hav'nt got your health your snookered.Thats another reason I want to live near a beach, to get myself moving in great surroundings and swim too.

I don't really know what hapiness is. There are times that I thought my life would be perfect if I had a psp, xbox, ipod and macbook. But actually these are only material things, we are not sure if these are going to last a lifetime and if we will still love them for our lifetime. After all it's the memories that makes me smile throughout the day. Overall, I guess I love my life. Whatever I have right now I am ok with it. I have a loving family, friends, boyfriend, enemies, problems, scars, tears, smiles. I had them all and this makes my life the most.

I learnt a long time ago not to worry about material things, I have started my life over quite a few times now and realised that material objects ar'nt really neccessary. Its nice to have things to make life more comfortable but I personally do'nt need them.We have to make the most of what we have already and take the good with the bad.

I don't want to live near the beach. I always want to live on mountains or near the mountains because I always like to do hiking and climbing high mountains. My childhood years were spent living on mountains and how I miss them because we have moved to the city for greener pasture.

I always wanted to be married and have a lot of children and have a happy big family. I do have all of that and it DOES make me very happy. But once we started having children I realized that what I had really wanted was a daughter. I think I always just assumed I'd have one so I never really thought about that as a "want". Instead though we have five sons and our family is now complete so I will not ever have a daughter. It has taken a long time for me to reach a place where I can honestly say it's okay. Not getting what I wanted has brought me greater appreciation for the things that I have and the whole mystery fo life in general. Basically it has made me very philosophical and taught me to just STOP wanting things and just enjoy life as it comes.

I once wanted a house on the beach until the hurricanes blew thru Orlando a couple of years ago. I think I would house somewhere woodsy and vacation on the beach. I think that would make me pretty happy. I find the beach very relaxing.

Yeh I suppose happiness is a very personal thing everyone is different, living near a beach has been a lifelong dream of mine and of course still is. I am patient but alot of people ar'nt they want it now like yesterday LOL.

I like to achieve happiness through success, which in turn comes from hardwork, honesty and perfection in whatever I do.
