I notice the way I think and feel makes me more miserable now. Life should not be spend to feel miserable life should be spend enjoyable. Sometimes I feel miserable if I compare myself with others. I feel miserable when my job is very difficult to do. What do you think should I always think or do to make my life enjoyable and not miserable?

enjoy your life and don't compare yourself with the laurels of others. who knows, others might be envious of you without your knowing.

I can't help it at times. I should think I'm still luckier than others than be envious

You should never compare yourself to others, my friend. Because if you do, you will surely feel miserable. Just be contented of what you have and excel in what you are doing. If your job is very difficult, then maybe it's not for you. Try scouting for a job that is within your capacity. You will be happier having it.

I will not compare myself to others. I'm unique and I have equally valuable blessings I receive from God too

Make a decision to be happy or at least not miserable. It isn't always easy but try to 'decide' to be happy. And when I have something difficult to do, I sometimes say to myself 'this time tomorrow/next week this will all be over'. I'm sure others will have some good suggestions too.

There are moments where nothing seems to be going right and you sometimes feel miserable. But you shouldn't let that bring you down, if so you're going to miss out on the enjoyable parts of life.

Yes that's true. I should feel down and I should always expect enjoyment

Sorry you're having a hard time. We are living in perilous times and it takes a toll on our every sense and emotion. I totally understand your feelings sooo much, I'm getting emotional right now. I am not religious however, I am super duper spiritual. Trust me, I'm not going to force my views down your throat but, I talk to God ALL the time and He is my comforter. Whatever higher entity you identify with, I strongly suggest you get in accordance with it. Another thing you can try, remove the stressors out of your life. Identify what's bringing you down, slowly depart from the negativity. You're in my prayers, God bless you.

Just ignore the bad things. You can cry but only for ten minutes only and start to stand up and make a difference. You always have a choice and let us all of hole that we will choose what is best to be a better person.

I think comparing is a fleeting emotion and many times the other person (s) does not want what they have and others will not think of that. Think this thought- do other (s) like what they have and if not that Should cure most of those feelings. If they do like it and are not trying to brag or make you feel bad, that's also a major plus. Or be with like-mind people if that is not the case.The other thing is everyone in one way or another has things going in their favor.

it depends how easy your life is, If you don't like your job, find another. I never look at people and wish I was like them (more money, bigger house, nicer cars) because everyone no matter how rich or how lucky they are, they have issues in their personal life that no one sees. I believe being happy is the the way to go whenever it is possible...
