Dear myLotters, Atlast after many weeks I am creating this discussion in life as some thing popped out of my mind. Am I living happily? I am not... Something is getting missed in my life. Please clear my view people. Why you live? what makes your life more interesting? Is it marriage, kids, your life partner, your job, music, your spiritual activity or what else? [b] What makes you live happier and healthier?[/b] I really have to think a lot before answering this question. But I have less answers for this. How you spend your time in your everyday life? I just want more and more people to have their thoughts on this. Please share.... Cheers.... Have a nice day always....

Hi, Nice topic to discuss.General opinion will be either success or love or friends or money.Some will prefer good social status or luxury.It will defer from person to person.Some may find satisfaction from inside.i.e.means spirituality. But in special cases if we have some goal to achieve, life becomes a challenge and no thing may matter.

Now that my husband and I are together, we're discovering all kinds of new and interesting things that we can do as a couple, and new and interesting experiences to discover together, or things that we have already experienced as individuals, that we are now experiencing as a couple.

I really have a doubt on your response. Does these regular things makes your life happy or these things just make a life? If we think it is happiness will it be a real happiness? Or if we got what we want is a real happiness? Do tell me the difference if you can... Cheers

This is a good topic. I appreciate. According to me there are lots of things that makes life intersting and gives you the longing to live. The first one is your desire. Everybody will have some desires about ahieving some things in life. Those desires make you keep moving and make you work hard to ahieve your desires or amitions. Another factor is the love of your family and friends that makes your life intersting. Do you agree with me?

I totally agree with you. Desire really makes a person to move and achieve high in the path of success. When we are in the way that desires lead, really it makes our life more interesting... As said, love is a kinda factor makes one life more interesting esp., when with family... thats true.... Thanks for steeping into this discussion.. ... have a nice day always...

I guess what makes my life much more interesting is my positive outlook, my willingness to meet new people and gain new experiences. I've had several trials in my life and I can say that I dealt with it through change. The changes in my life makes it easier for me to move on, whether change in environment or change of group of friends. I welcome changes because changes makes me happy, changes challenges me and makes me determined to face trials with a smile. :-)

I think that being happy is a decision that we have to make and deciding to be content with our lot in life is not easy but is sure beats being depressed every day! I have suffered from depression since childhood and, after many years of suffering my husband talked me into seeking help, which I did and, for the first time in years I could think clearly enough to make the decision that I would not live out the rest of my days without some joy. I know I can’t be happy every single moment of every day but I am slowly learning to deal with the bad times by turning my thinking around and feeling gratitude for what I have that is good and there are many things, believe me! By deciding to be happy and clearing my mind it has been easier to decide what brings me joy and to re-arrange my life so that I spend more time doing those things that make my heart sing! It is not an easy fete and if getting help is what one needs then I advise it because, although we need to feel sad in order to appreciate happiness, life is way too short for too much sadness.

hi there,i cant really relate much to some given samples youre narrating above.Im still a teenager. Anyways,for me,I enjoy everything around me.I always tell myself to see the good things and just be patient.Basically, my views and way of thinking was the same as what you are undergoing right now.I felt confused,sad,alone,mad,irritated and discontented with things.I get to be mad with small jokes and I always get bored with activities.I refuse social attachment and feel sad.I even sometimes end up crying.Everyday i always ask myself if im happy or not.IF I love what im doing or this will be just be another disappointment. But my friend,everything changed!One day I started asking myself of what do I want,what makes me happy?What am I interested in doing.?How did this thing started in me?I always ask myself if I am happy with my current situation or not. I kept praying and often listen to encouraging videos and quotes.I challenge myself to be better and to make people feel better with me.I started communicating people then minimize my madness.I then began to feel better. The feeling is somewhat amazing.Like im not into burden anymore. By now im interested in doing everything,trying to experience things and to widen my knowledge. I started my soccer practice again.I dance Ballroom.I watch shows.I read books.I communicate with people. I sleep late.I wake early.all of the things a happy man wants to experience. You know,things would really be great and happy if you just believe it would.Be grateful despite the hard challenges. I hope this helps.Godbless.

Hi sagapo121845, That's really awesome to read your response. I don't wanna say this but some taking control over me and never let me do my own will and interest. I feel irritated when I depend on someone esp., my parents. But I am not blaming them but as I have no job they sometimes don't like me sitting infront of my laptop all the time. Anyways... your response is really encouraging and I hope I'll will be better in the near future. Cheers....

My desire to acheive newer heights in my life makes my life interesting to live and i get to learn some thing new each day and i try to relate it to my life and try to learn from that experience that makes your life more interesting.A person with no Aim or Goal would like a Leaf which would slide on all the directions when the wind blows hardly and i dont want to be a leaf,i want to have firm command on myself rather than depending on others suggestions.There are many disabled people who cry harder coz their disability is restricting them to acheive certain things only and if given a chance they would outplay the normal beings for sure.Despite of being blessed with no form of disability and we keep on fail to know what to do and how to enjoy and make the most of it.just take the example of Stephen Hawkings who has been restricted to the wheel chair but did he stop doing his research.Sorry if i have offended you but just explained how human race neglect their own lives despite of being hale and healthy.gud day.

What makes my life more interesting to live? Very easy! Because of the people who are around me making me happy and people who are my inspiration and motivation in life. Another things is that, my goals in life that i think will only end if i die, or maybe not if there will be someone to continue it for me. My goals changes every time i achieved those goals. Our life is interesting because we have life, a life to cherish and a life to enjoy. A life that is needed to be taken care of. A life that is so mysterious and until now, we still do not know where it came from. Life is full of mystery and even this planet that we lived in. The universe that is full of mystery that still haven't explored by us humans. Life is beautiful and colorful. Life is full of mystery and very deep and that makes life interesting for me. Have a great day!

Hi phillip_shiny..I think my life is very interesting and "happy"..Because i have many friends that can help you in needing moments..You socialize..You can train sports..But the thing that makes my life worse is that because peoaple`s lives turns into technik..We will walk with computers soon..But i`m happy,because i`m succesful in many things..I learned parkour in two years..And many other things..The most interesting in my life is maybe learning because there are no other things that you can do in the life..Except sports..But at all i like my life..Because its my only for maybe seventy,eighty years and then the peoaple go in the paradise or they are loosing from the world forever so..I think you understood me..Sorry for my bad english..I want to sleep,but i cannot :D

I think my life is very interesting because there is always something new to deal with daily. Some of it is good and alot of it is bad but there is never a dull moment here for sure, either way.

It is problems, situation and the people around me that makes my life interesting to live. Problems is there all the time, problems makes you weak and makes you strong, it makes it use your brain when you are trying to find solution, it makes you realize your true friends and the true people you can depend on besides your family. Situation, i don't want my situation right now. I have goal and I want to make it happen. Of course I will do my best to escape from the type of living I have now. I do everything one step at a time. People I love and people I hate are the reason why I am here in this world. They need me and I need them. Everything happens for a reason.

i think that i can do what i want,this makes my life more intersting to live.i find that everybody have his owned dream and aim to realize,including me,i hope to do what i want in my life.but there is distant place between life and dream,this need my effort and confidence and adhere to do it,i often accept failure and dissapointment,but this could not let me lost intesting to do it,because this make me happy to do it and feel that my life need come through like this.

I have considered this problem during my life yet,but now I aware of the meaning of life is the process that you are going through. Acid,sweet,bitter and hot are the real tastes of life,facing any one of these feelings, you must have a right and good attitude,then the trouble can be easily overcomed.The right of deciding happyness must be grabbed in your own hand rather than in that of others ,you can obtain real happyness if you have done this well.In addition,you must learn to satisfy to your life,just like the saying"People who understand satisfactory can be happy all the time".
