Now a days, there are a lot of situation arises. Situation that sometimes make us down. Situation that sometimes make us cry and laugh. But most of the time, situation that leads into a problem. And if you are already in trap, its hard to enjoy life. My question is, how do you enjoy life inspite of many problems?

Personally for me, it often depends on what type of problem it is, and if there is really things I can do to change it. Because with some things we create some of the problems ourself, and it is really up to us to learn how to deal with them. Even when they are something like Financial setback, etc. until you learn to be proactive and work on ways to better things in your life, you will never see any difference as well.

I try to see problems as a game, a sort of a challenge. For example, even though I am stressed about the fact that we are in debt, I am trying to find creative ways to deal with the debt.

The start of this year for me was okay but not as how it was at the beginning of my last year 2009. This year I have a bit of a financial issue that I want to move on but will take time to do so. I am in the verge of beign tested 101 percent that I want to just sleep and never wake up. But because Him, I am able to face each day positively so that I may live life to the fullest.

I will just look to my love one and I am happy already. And I make myself think of other things and making myself busy while having fun. Which is like this I am making myself busy and then I am having fun on responding to others discussion.

i live my life the way i want it. i dont mind what other say and think about me, i dont care. its my life though..what makes me happy isn't part of their jurisdiction. they should mind their own business. if i do have problems, i reflect to them, ask for help to God and others. but if i can handle it on my own, then ill solve it on my own.

I do have a lot of problems to tackle and resolve in life but I think and take on them as they come to the scene and never give up. I try to accept whatever is written in my destiny by God and try to overcome the difficulties as much as I can. I try not to think of the future all the time and then try to live in the present and make a point to not to remember the past and regret much about any wrong things happened as it would only add to the stress. Instead, I try to be calm and live life as the moment presents it to me!!

life is fun.despite of problems,we still manage to survive.life is full activities that will make us smile.the love from our family and friends make the day brighter.the best things in life are free - a hug,a sincere compliment,and a smile.life is really complicated,but it's really the simple things that are priceless and make living worthwhile.

It is true that nowadays there are a lot of situations that we are experiencing. For me, my trust in God helps me go thru each day with a positive look in life. I have to say without Him I wouldn't be where I am at right now. Being positive in life helps me see things in a better perspective instead of being so negative at every little thing I experience.

Hi airasheila,Our life on earth is not perfect,so we must accept the reality that as a human being we can really suffer trials or what ever problems in life.The best way to enjoy life is by asking guidance to our lord God,and offer our selves to him.Dont let your heart filled with sorrows or anything that can bothers you.And most of all always have prayers to God to survive, and think positive. Have a nice day!

It is understandable that sometimes it's really hard even to smile in a day when you're in a deep situation. But then as they have always saying "life must go on..." of which I certainly believe. Problems and tough times are always part of our lives. We can't live without them. There's no reason to struggle if you don't face them. As for me when I'm on that situation I tried to think of a solution how to overcome such struggle rather than thinking much of a problem or situation. At times I tried to relax first, feel calm and take it one day at a time. I go with my friends to somehow cheer me up despite of my situation. Somehow it helps to lighten my burdens. I also tried to think of the positive sides of having such difficulties.

I enjoy life by always making a lot of jokes and laughing a lot. Also I watch funny prank vids I always get a good laugh out of this. Like they say laughter is the best medicine and it's true. Try to enjoy life to the best that you can and you will see that your problems will disappear with some laughter.

Life is as wonderful as you want it to be. I believe that every person is responsible for his happiness. I like saying that life is a constant suffer so why complicate it more, just enjoy the rare moments of happiness! If you do that you are halfway there... just try to see the beauty in everything!

you are right, it is very hard to enjoy life sometimes. like for my hubby and i, he has been out of work since last august and i am having a lot of health issues but we still do things like go to the library (free) and go for walks (free) and sometimes go out for a coffee (inexpensive) to enjoy ourselves or we get free movies from the library to watch at home and make our own popcorn!

I found out the best way to cope with life little problems is to just don't worry about them. After all you will find a way to get over whatever it is even if it kills you . "So why worry about it?". ... ...

I love problems because i'm good at solving them, mostly for others. Happiness is always inside me no matter what happens outside because i don't tend to take things too deep most of the time.

Well, it's not always easy to do so. However, I definitely try to take it just one day at a time, and just enjoy the little moments. I think that it's really all those little moments, which help me get through the day. Although it's not always easy, I try not to worry to much about the problems.

I know that in many cases, things will only get better. Plus, no matter how tough life can get sometimes, I just think to myself that many people have it much worse compared to me.

I try to enjoy life every single day. I look at my problems as challenges and try to handle each challenge the best way that I can. I handle one thing at a time and usually things turn out just fine. I believe you will not be given more than you can handle during you life. Look at each problem as only an obstacle to get over. In the meantime, as the book says, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. Enjoy your life daily and don't dwell on the problems. It's not the problems that matter, it is how you handle them that matters.
