YOU cqan be in either of the three states mentioned above .
YOu might be having a ball , or might just be dragging yourself just to maintain existence , or at the worst sad .
What kind of state are you in .
Well I used to be in the dragging or the sad state for a large chunk of my life but that has changed over the last year . I have learned to enjoy and make most of my sojourn on earth . Every day I try to do something challenging something that would be near impossible for me to do .
e.g As I am writing this I am on my 220 post but by the end of the day I want to be on 500 . If I get there It would be thrilling .
And I am dead sure I am going to get there .
These kind of small small challenges can indeed make life interesting . Try living like this , you can make the most of it .
Look forward to each day as it brings the oppurtunity to enjoy a new challenge .
So tell me what are you ? Sad , happy or thrilled ?
And do you want your life to be thrilling .

Well to answer the question Im happy someitmes with my life but most days it feels like Im just waitng for the end. I have lived a full life and have done and seen many things many people will nevre see or experience themselfs but have calmed right down in the last 3 years thanks to my new step kids. Now that life has slowed to a snails pace I find myself bored with life and always waking up mad. I hope things eventually get better but if not I think Ill have no other choice but to change the situation before I bring the people I love around me down with me.

Though I am in between the latter but there is a saying that life goes on and on.
You just have to learn to live with the good and bad and once you understand that what will be, will be and when you accept fact you will learn to look at life in a positive way.
That is what keeps me going :)

I'd definitely say I fluctuate between existing and sad. A combination of an unknown (and probably horrible childhood) and teenage years filled with emotional, psychological abuse on top of years filled with family members having diseases and watching them slowly slowly die. Daily stressors of existing family problems. Lurking unemployment ahead. Getting through each day is generally enough for me - a job that pays the bills and supports my family is survival and existence for me.

My friend it is sadness all the way ..unfulfilled desires.. greater responsibilities to shoulder ... YOU can never be enjoying your existence to the full brim ... Life ..it just goes on ..on and on ..

I think you can afford to change your view .Its just that we sometimes that we get struck in a apttern of thought too deep to imagine lidfe any other way but sad . Once
that you do get through its enjoyment and happiness all the way .
Yearn for hapiness and it shall come your way . Do more of the things you like , go more of the places that you want to .
Be creative . Live life to the fullest .

I'm just living. I would love to be one of those that actually enjoy living life but there's too many obstacles and tragedies that plague myself along with my family. I've dealt with more illness and loss than the average person who is my age and life seems more like a chore some-times than a pleasurable experience. Hopefully one of these days I'll wake up and find everything okay or optimistic that way I can enjoy life, however right now, life is pretty clouded.

I must said that i am just living now, for I have no money, i need money to rend a house, to meet my physical requirement. I can't image that i can b e very happy even if I have no milk and bread. It's unpractical. I think when basic requirements are meeted, i will consider how to enjoy my life.

I am really enjoying my life. I learned long ago that happiness is a choice anyone can make, and I chose to be happy. Sure, life still throws me a curveball now and then, but I've learned how to catch.
Good luck on getting to 500! You can do it.

It's difficult for me to enjoy life, I just expect too much, I guess. But than again, I don't think that life is 'there' in order to be enjoyed. Or maybe that at the end of it we will have learned to enjoy it, and with a bit of luck have enough time left to enjoy it. I see life as a learning process, where at the end we'll find out that there is nothing to learn, that all we need to be happy has always been there. But again, I for one will probably spend a few more decades being irritated because thinks don't work out as I plan them to work out, to come finally to the realization that I end my journey exactly where I started off.

Thanks for you discussion. Life is really enjoyable and a "LIFE" is the great thing that every person man or woman, rich or poor, get from god. Now I consider life as the best gift that I have ever get and it is now my task to make it more enriched.
Life is that food to me that tastes different with time. May be a person is not happy with the life he is living right now, but the situation can change as soon as the person changes his attitude towards life.
Your example is clerly showing that we feel what we want to feel. If we decide not to allow depression o enter into our life, nothing can make us depressed. Now making life thrilled, with several target is your own way of being happy. If you are feeling that now you are living a thrilled and fulfilled life then just go on and do whatever you want to do.

for me, its always a mix... the key point is to balance. for example, i like to eat. too much eating will surely kills. I'm also looking for ways to earn more money, to make extra, but then, too much work will end up neglecting my family.
On the other hand, even balancing your life is easier said than done.
I'll say, i am enjoying life

Well firstly, well done for creating happyiness for yourself!
I too would say im am enjoying my life. I suffered from constant deppression when i was younger and the whole self harm stuff.. but after getting VERY low of which i wont get into, i realised i needed to do something about it or it would be the end for me.. so i made a consious effort to be happy with what i had and took all sorts of supplements and foods that where known to help the chemical balance in the brain.. and these days it doesnt matter how rough life that get, i can usually stay on top.. and HAPPY. Since i decided to change my life ive only had had about 4 Hard lows and self harmed twice.. which is a huge accomplishment in my eyes.
Well done again hun!
