Thank you for the good advice. I think having love is a very important key to enjoying life. Live each day to its fullest as if it were the last with a loved one. Good advice.

how to enjoy life is to appreciate whatever we have. Not wanting something too much. Living by the rules, and not doing things that make the sadness and regret. With grateful that we have, life will feel good and comfortable. What is important is being yourself. have a lot of money does not guarantee that we can enjoy life.

your comment of the importance of being yourself shows in my opinion that you have a good outlook in the way you perceive life and how you live it. Money indeed will not guarantee happiness. But for many, it helps. What is important is as you say, is is a matter of the importance of knowing oneself and living a life based on social and spiritual harmony.

i agree with you, those who have more money can find it easier to enjoy life, and the less fortunate dont. the best thing a person who have less money can do is to not think of things that he/she cannot afford. be happy with what you have. if one carefully looks around himself/herself there are plenty of things that we can enjoy in life. sure a less fortunate person cant travel anywhere he wants, but there are places closer to his/her place that he have not yet visited and can visit it. a less fortunate cannot buy all the things that he/she wants, but if one thinks about it, do you really need all those? one will not be happy if that person have so many wants in life, be contented with what you have and happiness will follow. if you receive more than what you need, then thank God for it, if you have less than what others have, thank God still, the earth will keep on rotating regardless of what a person have or have not, life will continue... a quote form the Bible... "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"

Your comment renews my faith in the goodness in human hearts. While many say contentment stops us from achieving our fullest potential, we have to be realistic with ourselves and the world around us and thank God for the things we have.

hello sincerelyne I enjoy life by enjoying the simple things in life. The small things do matter. they tells not sweat the small stuff... they are wrong. Small things do make a difference in life like a touch of hand, see animal deer, chipmunk crossing the road, someone making you coffee in the morning just because... you buying dome groceries for friend in need... ot volunteering a few hours at sensior citzens center to make someone smile for a few mintues to say Yes, we care about etc.. Thanks and have a great day! Sincerely unique16

I do understand this but its the way you view your life.You don't really have to be wealthy to enjoy your life , you just be happy with what you have and try to appreciate what this life has to offer you.In this way you 'll definitely enjoy your life .

I'm sorry but I don't agree that you have to be rich to enjoy your life. Ok I do agree that money makes things easier, but why does it always has to be easy. Myself I'm not rich either, but I do try to enjoy myself just by simple things. I find great joy in helping out someone, walking with my dog, late in the evening sitting down with a great book, when I accomplish something difficult, ... there are so many small things that don't have to cost anything, but that do give you so much joy. I really feel sorry for people that can't feel good just because they don't have much money, you just have to learn to appreciate te little things in your life.

Why dont you ask yourself first about the things that makes you feel happy. The things that make you happy are the same things you need to enjoy life. There are so many good things about this life that enjoying is really possible for one to achieve.

The answer is simple :) appraise the little things in life. You don't have to be rich to have good friends or good girlfriend/boyfriend. You just have to understand that money are not everything. I know it's hard cause we live in a material world. But if you can find your peace you can be really happy with your life :)

We all have different things that make us happy. It is something that results from our life's experiences. The way we perceive what makes us happy. "One man's heaven is another man's hell." I think it is first important for us to determine and understand what life means to us. Once we have found meaning in our lives, we will begin to fulfill what makes life meaningful to us. For some people for example, having the house with the family, kids and a pet is their dream. After they have obtained that they realize it was not worth it. For others it is the journey that is important. What makes you happy will determine your directions in life and as a result will determine if you enjoy your life or not.
