i was just wondering what can make me happy. i have a very beautiful family. we are not rich but we are not poor also. i used to have a great job but i quit cause i was not happy working there anymore. i have a very faithful husband that works very hard but yet.. his is still not a good provider. our life is very simple and when you look at it. we dont have any problem. we can eat anywhere we want, anytime we want. buy things we want. go to some place that we want to go as a family. but yet.. im not happy. i feel like there is something missing in my life. maybe adventure. i dont know. maybe im bored with my life. but why will i be bored? i still dont know.
coz i want adventure.. i cheated to my husband. at first i was happy and things are getting complicated. then again.. im not happy and i just want my normal life back. but when i was in that situation.. how com im not happy?
theres alot of question in my mind that i dont know the answer. all i know is i want to have a good life and i dont know where to start.
i just think that maybe. its really true that money is everything. we need money to be happy. i dont know.. all i know is that im happy when i have money..
coz when i have money.. i have lots of friends. i mean i have alot of people around me. i dont feel alone.. but when im broke.. i feel like im very alone in this world.
crazy crazy world. its really hard to be happy

I dont believe that money buys you everything. NOT LOVE! The reason you are not happy is just because you are living the same life and it is human nature that that it gets bored doing the same thing again n again. He wants changes in his life. Try to find happiness around you. Think that you are HAPPY. You will be happy.

I think you must be content in order to be happy. You are just bored of your everyday lives so dont feel happy. But if i am in your place, as long as my family is complete, i will not do things like that, you are so lucky to have a life like that. You had your family, and you can buy things you like, you can eat any places and anytime. You must see the life of other people in need just to be content in your life.

I think there is no certain formula to be happy. Also, there is no definite definition of happiness. It may be, for me money makes happy but for any other person peace of mind makes him happy. Some one like money, some one like love, and some one likes healthy life and so on... I agreed that money is very important in our life but not everything in our life. Money can’t buy mental peace and money can't buy life. I have experienced till now from my life don't do anything that is not acceptable to our society, our parents, elders and teachers. In a long run they make us very unhappy.

There's no perfect partner nor a perfect relationship. All you have to do is be content with what you have and look at the nicer things that happen to your life like eating anything, anytime, anywhere with the people who matters to you and whom you really care for. Real happiness doesn't depend on the circumstances outside but from deep within you. Even if you're alone, if you decide to be happy, you can be happy. Be gentle to yourself and others, care for the people around you and look past their differences and weaknesses.

Is there a dream that you haven't made true?Would you like to work outside the home again?Is there a activity that you used to do that you would like to pick up again? Like Tennis or needlecrafts? I am a movie fan so when I'm bored I see a movie.Was there anything that you used to do when you were bored that you can do now?Like read or go out with friends?

Hi, gemma24, There is no hell or heaven; it is in your heart and your way of thinking. Any human being should be content with what the God given to him/her. You should try to devote more time to your husband and children. You look after their needs. It will not only keep you occupied and also will give great pleasure. Devote some time in prayers and meditation. Doing prayers and meditation may be, at the begining very difficult but in due course, you cannot live without them because it brings lot inner happiness and also make you financial strong. For any human being God can only give happiness and financial support. By doing prayers and meditation God will understand your financial need which HE will provide the same through you or through your husband / children. In due course you will find a inner revolution will be taking place in your heart which will bring everlasting peace, wealth and happiness for you and your family.

if one is physically mentally financially strong and in a position to lead a comfortable life then that should make one happy in my opinion.
If one is physically ahndicapped, i bleieve he/she willl ahve that thinking in mind which cannot amke him happy if he is mentally not ok, then he cannot automatically be happy. if financially one is suffering that the huge pain in his life and cannot be happy hence all three should be there for a person to be happy

I'll tell you what is making you get bored. It's called "routine". Everyday you do the same things, every single day the same things! Everyday waking up, doing this, and then that. The other day, you wake up and do the same thing. And in the other. And in the other.
This really makes you bored.
You know what could make you less bored? Stop following the Routine.
Why don't you take your family and go to a Theme Park? Oh, you'll have a lot of fun there! A lot!
At night, try different positions at bed with your husband.
Travel around the World. Things will get really fun!
Hope to have helped.
