Answer:
Take the bad times in stride.
Learn from other peoples mistakes as well as your own.

Work out your ** and have a plan. See a therapist if you need to. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Set goals for yourself. Most importantly, take chances and make mistaktes.
live your dreams, do things you enjoy. if you dont like your job change it to one you like
I don't think there are any people who are happy with their lives. (i mean completely happy - 100%)
It is because nowadays, there are many problems in our lives - bullying is common, some people are not happy with their bodies ( "I am fat!!" "I am thin!") and so much more!!
The best way to make your life happy is to be an optimist - think positive! And be confident. Believe in yourself. And be your best friend.
Follow your gut instinct.
Do what is right.
Have a sense of humor.
Embrace some form of art.
Love someone.
I realized that I would never be happy with any aspect of my life until I was happy with myself. From there I went to counseling and worked on self acceptance - flaws and all. Now I set goals for myself, I journal, I don't settle for things and I go after my dreams. It's a great way to live. Not to say there aren't things that I'm not happy with like finances, old appliances but those are things that will take time to change and I'm working on it. But the bottom line was that I had to accept myself as I was first, then start making changes in my life where I wanted them and finally I had to start being proactive about my life and stop just letting it happen around me.
Love life and life will love you back.

Enjoy the day

Enjoy what Ma Nature/God has given us -- the beauty of nature, animals, life, trees, flowers, plants, even weeds, other people other diversities.

Look at the bright side.

Agree to disagree with others without putting them down.

Walk away from arguments with a smile.

Wish everyone the BEST -- that's what YOU want for yourself-- that's what we ALL want for ourselves.

Be kind to others - you never know what they are going thru.

Volunteer at an Animal Shelter, a Nursing Home, a Homeless Shelter, a Soup Kitchen, be a Candy Striper.

Enter something you have made or baked at the County Fair -- even if it turns out to be a gloppy mess-- call it "The Gloppy Mess" -- you may WIN something!! <;-)

Never stop trying - but do it with a smile.

Befriend an orphaned or abandoned cat of dog -- be kind to animals -- give it a beautiful happy healthy life. It will Love you back a million fold.

Plant flowers. Plant trees. Enjoy their beauty.

Don't sweat the small Stuff. It's all small stuff when you realize you are greater than any bad things that could happen to you.

Forgive yourself at the end of each day. Forgive those who have wronged you. Stay away from people who want to hurt you but wish them well-- your wish may put the spark of love back into their hearts.
The best thing I found - accept who you are. I have always been self-conscious and thought everyone had to like me. Now, I am who I am, and if you don't like it, well, that is a problem you will have to work out.

You know, I worry about my job, about money, about my kids - same things everyone worries about, but I only can do what I can do and I ask for help with things I can't handle.

Basically, like I said earlier, accept who you are and what you can do and just live life and be happy!

Everyone can do it.
Believe in a higher source. Get in involved with a community that believes in the same. Nothing satisfies your soul and mind more than inner peace and knowing that a higher power is in guiding you and you are along for the ride. Believe in your beliefs, yourself and your decisions with conviction, strength and a positive attitiude. My faith in God is my rock and foundation in life. I know I would be lost otherwise.
happily married to a good man mother of 2.
I did not settle for less, did not play around, never got into smoking drinking drugs or going to drunk parties.
have no regrets I spared myself a ton of problems.


for this I was called a prude, an innocent and all sorts of other things but I was also never called a whore, a junkie, a teenage mother or a lush.
I did not contract any disease and my husband honors me greatly and does not worry that I will ever cheat on him as I controlled myself before I can do it now.
it also helped that I sat down when I was 16 and wrote down all the things I wanted in a husband and waited til I found a man that had those things. (it did not take long I married at 22. 5 years later we are still in love and still very happy.)
hope you listen to everyones advise but choose a good path for yourself.


I once met an incredible man that many women said they wanted to marry some one like him, when I was talking to his wife I told her I wanted a man like hers one day, she looked at me with the saddest eyes and said "yeah, but you probably won't"
I thought about that and then took a good look at her husband he was a little over weight and not great looking (not ugly or grotesque in anyway just no "perfect) and saw that once he was married everyone saw all his qualities and not his looks.
I knew right then what she meant, I would not have dated him, it was not til he was married that his true value was seen.
I made up my mind I would marry such a man and I did.
many women admire my husband and wish he was there's now . I hope what ever you are looking for you find, but you need to make sure you know what it is that you seek.
good luck to you
