To be honest, I'm not 100% happy. And why is that? 1) First, I am not happy with my body. To make it simple I'm overweight. 2) Second, I'm not happy with my current job. So stressful. 3) Third, I'm not happy with my low income and salary. 4) Fourth, I'm not happy I haven't met my soul mate yet 5) Fifth, I'm not happy my life not always went as my plan 6) Sixth, I'm not happy I'm not at the highest level of what I think I can be But I can still smile. And why is that? 1) I've got great family, great friends and colleagues. They always support me on everything I do. 2) I can still enjoy my life eventhough my income is not that great. There's always an opportunity for me to be excited and realised my life is great after all. 3) I always think like this. There will always be someone that suffered more than me. And I'm grateful that I'm better than him. 4) Lastly, thank God. I'm grateful I'm alive. I get to enjoy this fantastic experience which call life.

I have to make myself happy as nobody can play my role but myself. Though I am no beauty queen but I am thankful that I have well developed physical features which I have no regrets of being born the way I am. An important lesson is realizing that you create yourself by whatever you say after the words "I am." It is not the words you speak out loud, though that is part of it. I refer to the words you say in the privacy of your own mind. When you say 'I'm overweight" or " I'm not 100% happy" may sound like assessments of who you are now. You are putting commands that led you to your current reality. It is only fair that you put a positive tone to your words and soon the words will become facts.

Good advice Zandi458. It just sometimes I'm thinking why I was like that. It was something really regretful. But I'm quite satisfied with my life now.

We only pass this life but once. Make the most of our given time on earth by creating more happiness for yourself. Remember life is too short to indulge in petty matters that will create miseries in life. Live life the fullest and you'll have no regrets.

We cannot have everything we want to be. Life is really hard; it is full of trials, hardships and sacrifices. Even the most successful person does not feel happy all the time. Put yourself in the middle. Do not look up the person above you but see the person below you. You will then realize that there are reasons for you to be happy. There are some things we cannot change and so the most important thing is to focus on the positive side of life. And for as long as you can put a sincere smile on your face once in a while, you can be truly happy with yourself sometimes.
