How can anyone truely be happy??

I believe that in order to be happy one has to accept that there will always be things one can't control, that there are things one can't change and also to learn that there are things one can can change and control the serenity prayer says it best: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. There are things that make life enjoyable and while simple, they can make you happy. You know what these things are and you can pursue them. Good luck.

I agree, it's perfectly normal to not be worry-free all of the time. At some points in our lives we think life is too hard and life is even unfair. I believe on the way to true happiness is being thankful for what we already have. Being contented with what has been given to us. Be thankful that at least we have something. Give thanks for everything even the not so good things. Take it as a blessing in disguise. Always stay positive and watch your worries go away. But of course, through our lives we will encounter situations that will test our character. Just don't give up and keep that positive attitude and you'll stay truly happy. It all comes down to each of us. Take care my friend.

The old saying, Life is what you make it, is exactly how one can find happiness...If you CHOOSE to let the not so pleasant things in life weigh you down then you wont be happy but if you CHOOSE to look at life and live life differently then happiness can be yours...However being emotional beings htat we are there is NO SUCH THING AS being 100% happy 100% of the time..there will always be those moments or happenings that will get you blue or make you a little angry etc etc but thats human nature and we need to have those moments...That aside though, yes we can be truly happy if thats what we choose to be..

While it's true that everyone has problems, there are ways to deal with it so that you can manage life. I was reading a book by Dr Phil that explains this thoroughly, and I highly recommend it. It's called Real Life, and he wrote it last year. If you use the right strageties, you will be able to handle life and be the person you want to be.
