Are you happy with your life?

There are times that I get upset because of the stresses that come in my life. Yet, there are times that I'm really happy because things go my way. Recently, it has been the former and I have to ask myself if I'm happy with where I am. With my family, my school, my friends and such... What about you? Are you happy with your life in general right now? Or are there times that you are so depressed that you just want to give up on life?

I have been in both places throughout my life. When I was younger and struggling with all kinds of personal and family problems I often wondered whether life was worth living. That desperation forced me to begin looking deep inside and to try and discover how to change my life. Now when difficult times hit and it feels like the bottom fell out of my world I remind myself that everything in life has a begnning, middle and an end. When we are in the beginning it often feels like the end is no where in sight...but it is and that ending usually brings a new beginnings. My husband and I have gone through a difficult year. He had some health problems that created financial problems and during the early stages of it all I had no idea how we would get through it. But we did and just five months later he is feeling much better, we are both getting back to work and the world is a much brighter place. I will share with you something that hangs on my kitchen wall as a reminder to me when I feel as you do right now. Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday...and now all is well. I have also drawn a lot of hope from others who upon going through tough times they come out the other side with greater strength and with some valuable life lessons learned. You sound like a reflective person and I am sure if you keep asking whatever questions come to mind and don't give up you will find what you need to know...it all within you. Sending your warm thoughts...

Thanks. ^^ I'm starting to feel much better now. Sometimes I do get terribly moody especially after a crappy day.

yes, there are times that i do get upset but it shouldn't stop me from believing that the good things are yet to come. and as of now, i am happy with where i am. i am so blessed to have a family and friends that believe in me. i am happy still even if stresses from school, try as it may, attempt to knock me down. it's all part of life and all we have to do is accept what is there and cherish every moment of it. and i think that it is part of God's plans for each and every persons' lives as to where we are now and in the future. =D

We must also remember that God's plan will not be fulfilled if we don't work hard for it.

Well thats great Amehzin... But I am a little but upset wit life these days. But in my married life i am indeed very happy but there are some other stress and problems these days. My husband and I are having some family tensions and we are really looking forward to move out but i need to find a job first koz my husband's salary will not be enough if ever we move! All these little problems are making life a little bit miserable but the most important thing that makes me happy is the supprot of my dearly husband!

I'm glad you and your husband are happy with each other. You'll find that job that you need so you can move! I'm sure of it. ^^

I am not happy with all things going on in my life,and there are times when I just want to give up.But,for the most part right now everything is o.k.I live with my oldest son witch is o.k.We get a long good,I house keep while they work.That works out for us both.Then I never get to see my younger son witch troubles me.I talk to my middle son ever so often.So everthing is not alright,but I learn to deal with it and go on.

I like parents who are hands on with their kids. It's important that you stay connected to your kids and that they feel that they can talk to you. My mom isn't really like that and my dad is probably worse so it's hard to open up to someone. Even with friends, I'm not really the touchy-feely kind.

YOu're still too young to feel that way. Sometimes I feel that way too, but now that i have a family of my own then there's no reason at all to be sad and upset. My only problem is the money, though I am working, maybe it's not enough for us, but when i see my family (my husband and my 3 kids) in good health, I feel so happy for that. They are my inspiration and my life, they are the reason why i so hard...it's because of them.

Hmm... maybe for someone to be happy with their life, they have to find the one thing that makes them happy. For you, it's your family. I'm not sure what mine is yet but I'll find it.
