I try to be happy, but it is so hard at time. I don't want to sad all the time, but sometimes it happens especially when things happen that are not under my control. I would say though, that coming in here, has made me more happier than I have been in a long time.

@Salamnda Mylot has a way for keeping me entertained so to speak, and I don't think about my problems. I just concentrate on what I am doing in here, giving an answer to the comments and responses.

I'm not really happy to be honest. I'm in the verge of broken heart and is in the middle of making major decisions of my life.

think of this ,,, that every thing will pass , and you will not remember what happened today , as you dont feel what happened when you hurt your finger first time , the pain was momentarily and its gone now, i am not sure if i explained it right but i do this all the time , when its hard time , i think that it will not remain and it will passed like every thing else all i do is to do my best to act the best as i can and leave the rest and never think about it the next day i see as its never happened :)

@Salamnda Thank you. Your completely right. I am indeed coping up right now and somehow its as if I've pass the stage of withdrawal from broken heart. I'm more focus on loving myself more now. Though there still a lot of worries about the future and stuff and I guess this part is what keeps bothering me to the point of being preoccupied and unsatisfied with life but like you said, I'll just have to be motivated and live on.

@joygracia , the future is in the future and you need to think about what you need to do in the day you are living, so when the future comes it will be another " today" and when it comes you do the best you can ,,, we only live the moment we are in , past is gone future is yet to come , yes be motivated and think about the things you can do now , while you have more experience in life

I'm a happy person for the most part since I know I am so blessed to have what I have. Am I always smiling and laughing to show it, no. I am a very introverted person and mostly like to keep to myself or be around a very select few friends. But I am usually always happy around them

I believe that life is what you make of it for most people. If you want to be happy then I think that most of can be. I think to many people sit around and dwell to much on negative and never let the positive moments take over. Everyone can let themselves feel down and sad, by dwelling on all the negative in their lives. I believe in focusing on the positive things and letting that take over me. Life is better when your feeling happy. Most days I'm an 8 to 9.

I will give myself 5 point as things changed everyday, I am going through at my place. I really hope things could be the same like the past 10 years where I am happy to have a lot of friends to spend time with.

Barring the bad days of health and things that I owe to illness, I am a happy guy. If I can remove the ill health part, I would say 9. And if I include the bad health it is somewhere between 4 and 5. Even on a completely hopeless and crap day, it never goes

@Salamnda Thanks. I did not undergo the knife only because I have a positive thought that before it turns into cancer, the medics will find a cure for the illness - Ulcerative Colitis. If not, then anyway, they would remove the colon. So let it stay and let me live life

hope you get it away and be well all the time in some cases if we think about illness as a reminder of how health is a blessing, might be good way to fight it and live it to the point where it will be just pass and you will be much better

I can't grade my level of happiness easily because they it's not steady. I am trying to think positive and find pleasure in everything I do so I would consider myself a happy person in general.

@Salamnda Thank you. Sometimes people confuse happy people with people who have no problems. I think that happiness is a choice and if you have positive thinking you can actually make a good outcome from most sad things that may happen every day.

I can say that I am a happy person. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. No matter what challenges in life comes I think of it as God will not let me experience this if He knows I cannot handle it. I know I am so blessed to have a very loving and supportive family who always got my back every time I fall and that they are healthy and safe especially my daughter so that makes me more happy.
