I am happy even if not all aspects of my life are in a good place.

I am very happy right now. I am happy with my spiritual relationship with God, my family life and my romantic relationship but if there is one thing that I am not particularly happy about, it is definitely my career. Mainly because, I feel that it is not moving forward. I know I am very blessed to even have a job but of course I would still want to have a successful and fulfilling career. Despite that though, I really love my life, 3 out of 4 good aspects is still something to celebrate about. How about you? If you were in my place, would you still pursue being happy about a certain aspect of your life even if you are very much happy about all the other aspects in it?

hey there kabarkadudet! im happy that you feel that way. at least with your family (gudelia damian hehe), tukmol and God. Hmmm... In terms of your work... Did you consider quitting your present job and applying for another one? For me it's important to be happy with what you're doing. It's important to WANT your job and not just NEED it. ALthough at times, having a job is simply what matters, regardless of how much you want or don't want it. Being really happy means being happy with all aspects of life. And that includes work. You may be happy when you're home or when you're with Jun, but when you're at work, you're not. Im not saying you should quit and look for another job. Think about it. Think about it really well. At these times, it's not easy to find another job. You can try looking at your present work with a new perspective. Keep the positive vibes. Or, if you really find your career stagnant there, maybe it's time you look for another one. But you must be 100% sure of your decision and you must have a backup plan. Whichever you choose, you know I'll support you. =)

well true life is in the spirit this is why if you are content with your spiritual life not many things bother you anymore I enjoy a healthy spiritual connection too since then whatever bigotry towards me and life problems don't concern me much I only work seasonal and lots of debts to pay off but it doesn't make me lose sleep or ruin my marriage we stick with each other no matter what happens

Happiness means to me something that I can settle on. Like for example I can settle for the type of housing that I have therefore I am happy. I also think of it as counting my blessings similar to the way that you think about it. The persuit of happiness is crucial to life. Trust me happiness won't let you down

hi there! they say happiness in not merely an emotion but a choice...so it's up to you, on how you view happiness. i guess we're same in the aspect of career. we're both looking for something that would make us feel fulfilled and successful, something that would make us feel that we're growing in our career, that just an ordinary employee with just very tiring and boring job. atleast you have a happy relationship with our God, with your family and with your present relationship. 3 is to 4 ratio is good enough. just pray and believe it will be all okay

Hi lealuvy2j! I think happiness means contentment. It comes hand in hand. I know there are times when I feel not so happy with all things going on in my life, but I still try to find reasons to be happy. As long as I have a family that loves me, a few friends I can trust, a stable job ( although not so fulfilling at times) and I still can eat, sleep and rest during the week, then I'm happy. That's what I think about when I start feeling bad about myself or my situation. Prayers do help and it's nice to hear that you are happy with your spiritual relationship with God.

Happiness for every human being depends on a person on what he meant by that word . In that, those meaning must be unison on what he feels inside his/her heart, mind and soul. If you desire for something that you don't have, and pursuing it to the best of your ability, then you have to work for it. Needless to say, that we are here on earth for a purpose and that purpose was different for every person living here on earth. You have to be satisfied with what you are doing and aiming for, wherein complete happiness resides on you. Your motivation to fulfill your dreams comes within you and what your relations to God, family, community and people. So, if you want to be complete on your happiness in life, then proceed to find a job that suits you. If you're satisfied with your job, you're happy and at the same time financially stable. If you're stable, then that's the time to help other people in need, and be a model to them. Therefore, happiness must be the sum total of your dream to become what you want in life.
