Nowadays, it isn't to wonder how chaotic the lives of the people are. Earn here, earn there. hard work here, hard work there. Some even practice crab mentality, insecurity, enviousness either consciously or subconsciously. That is not a healthy way to deal with life and to enjoy it. I, myself, maintain a positive outlook in life to attract positive energy. HOw about u? What do you think is the secret to enjoy live?

Hi hushi! What you have said is right, friend. Today, life has so many complications because almost every one wants more and more even if one does not need more. As long as wants are more than needs, people will keep on running after means to achieve more money/power to fulfill their wants. This leads to crab mentality and insecurity. According to me key to enjoy life lies in controlling one's wants and staying contented with what one has. Positive outlook towards life and a strong belief that "Whatever is happening happens for good" will help a lot in living a happy life, particularly when things are not moving as per our desire. I am happy you have positive outlook. As regards me, i try to maintain positive outlook, but at times it becomes difficult for me to do so. I try Pranayam and YOGA to exercise control over mind and hence unnecessary desires and wants.

Live everyday like it's the last one, even if it may sound cliché. Earn money, sure, but not for the sake of having a lot of money, but to achieve some goals, holidays, trips around the world, visiting places you always wanted to visit. Eat in luxury restaurants with the ones you love, buy clothes that make you feel beautiful and attractive, be sure that you use money for the right things. And meet new people, eat, drink, talk about anything without shame, laugh a lot, learn new things everyday by confronting with other people. I don't think there's a proper secret to enjoy life, since every single person has in mind the "perfect life", which is, of course, different from the others'. Positivity about everything will be the best way not to feel angry at stupid things, and try to have enough time for yourself to do the things you prefer and wish to do will be the best way to enjoy life. :)

i do believe that enjoying life is subjective so it depends on the person's preference. some prefer simple yet filled with love, some prefer all fun. hope u enjoy your life my friend. =)

I guess the faith in God and contentment.. Yes we could always look, want and ask for more than we have.. even get it why not.. but if you are content with simple things.. these simple things makes you happy.. then you really are happy. If people think that if only i could.....if only i have....if only she would.... then-i-would be-happy kind of thinking. Then happiness would be hard to get or very far from you. because you give your happiness some sort of standards. but if you are content to what you have now and then let's say something bigger came.. then you would be happier.. and you are so happy that you couldn't ask for more.. It's like this. It's not bad to want something, I want a lot of things too.. But be happy for what God has given you and God would give you more.

I like your discussion! Nice question! I think the secret to enjoying life is being able to do the things you love. If you don't do the things you love, you might not be happy. And if you aren't happy, you're probably not enjoying life. I like to at least make time in my day to do something I enjoy. Either it be coming here onto myLot, reading a boook, etc.

Gosh, there can be so many different answers for this question but I personally believe the secret to enjoying life is to appreciate where you are in life. We spend so much time wanting more and waste precious time just living in the moment. The ability to make any situation in life positive or fun is rare but priceless.

Well thinking positive is definitely a great way to start a good and enjoyable life. Aside from that you must learn to control your temper and accept and adjust to what is happening in the world around us. By doing this things, life can be easier and more fulfilling most especially if you are content with what you have. Although this does not mean that being content literally, you must also strive to be good and do better each time something is to be done... Life will certainly be enjoyable...

I agree with you that the secret to a happy life is to stay positive and optimistic always. Don't worry about your problems because the more you worry about them then it becomes impossible to find a resolution. You get drained, demotivated and unhappy. Another secret is to have an intact integrity. It does not mean that you have to be perfect. What I meant is that you do what is right and live life without stepping on other people's rights and causing them harm. I believe in good and bad karma.

For me, my idea of a perfect life would be having a stable job or business. Having a family and a partner that will always be there until you grow old. I'm a very simple person and have simple wishes in life.

I try to think about all the good things in my life like my kids. There is no real bad day with me, I may have a bad moment but I deal with it then move on. If I am in a bad mood, I go hug my kids or just look around me and see all the beauty in nature. I think if anything the secret would be to make the most of every moment you have because you don't know when it will end. Love life, live life.

I like peace. Often relaxing at the right time will help you so much. I often do work hard. But I know when I must stop to rest. Walk around the coast is the most wonderful I want in my life. Besides I believe in magic which sometimes I cant see this but it doesn't mean that magic is nothing. Believe in something to help you alot.
