Are You Happy? - Page 2

A wise man once said, " The path to real happiness must travel trough the thorns and over the jagged rocks, for only by journeying through sorrow, pain and sadness will we have the experience we need to know when we have found it at last."

I actually am very happy-despite all the things that seem bad --everything works out for the very best--Friends, family and just plain good days--I have a blessed life-and I am thankful for it. An I got the neatest friends here--what more could I ever ask for.

Itshardon-theroad · 10-27-2006, 08:45 PM

Hell no.

jman · 10-27-2006, 10:42 PM

I have to say no.

G. Lee · 10-27-2006, 10:50 PM

I am happy because I have people who love me.

What a loaded question! Define happy. What does it mean? Is it a permanent state of the heart? A state of mind? A goal finally realized? A new car?

At the risk of sounding too "new age" (which I am not) or just annoying, I think happiness is a choice. Yes, we all have those times in our lives when challenges seem to pile up and we get overwhelmed. We all suffer setbacks, heartache, loss, grief, and some major pitfalls. For one to expect to be happy all the time is unrealistic. One can't truly appreciate the good in life without some bad thrown in once in a while.
So, what does happy mean? Is it the big house in the country? The promotion at work? A stock that goes through the roof?
I truly believe that happiness is found in the everyday, the little things (hence the thread I started). If you can see life's little blessings every day, the beauty of a sunset, the joy in a child's eyes, the miracle parking space at the mall on a Saturday afternoon, then you are happy. If you stop for a moment and really count your blessings every day, I guarantee you're going to lose count before you name them all.
Happiness doesn't guarantee a smooth trip. It doesn't mean you've achieved all your life's goals (geez! that would be called boredom!!) It means that shit happens, but life is good anyway. Every day is a gift. Cherish it.

Gee all I wanted to be happy was sex now I have more to worry about.

OKMamaEeyore · 10-27-2006, 11:44 PM

Not really - but things have been a bit depressing around the house lately. Although the weekend is looking encouraging for an emotional pick me up.
