What is the secret to being happy?

Question

:D

Answer 1

Simply knowing yourself, no matter what that means.

Answer 2

Taking pleasure in simple things. Feeling secure with your lifestyle. There are a lot of people with some financial issues that can still feel relatively secure and happy, but you can't feel that happy if you are living in poverty and completely a wreck financially. I don't care who you are, you can't be filled with joy AND starving, ha ha.

I think surrounding yourself with the right people helps a lot too. Having upbeat and optimistic friends instead of pessimistic, whiny friends.

Answer 3

How Do You Love It,These answers are really good.  My own secret to being happy is to love who you are.  Be proud of what you are.  Take criticism with a grain of salt.  Don't be afraid to accept a compliment now and then.  Hang around with people that make you happy.  I like to try to do a good deed daily for someone.  I know I've said this before,But you must love you are.  You are a very special person and your friends know this.  Others will find this out and you will gain more popularity because of it.  How Do You Love It,Do not be afraid to show off that pretty smile of yours.  You are an attractive young girl and the boys will take notice.  My name is David and it's an honor to write to you today.  I'm sorry that I must go soon.  You have a great day now.  Take care and God bless.  Bye for now.

Answer 4

Always go to bed every night with a coat hanger lodged ear to ear firmly in your mouth!

Answer 5

A SHORT MEMORY!! (: & maybe a glass of wine.

Answer 6

Waste no time concentrating on negative thoughts, just think of the positive end of every situation. Work hard for what you get, because then true happiness comes out of it. If you spend your life getting what you want from your parents, peers, etc. it's not special. You just have to be thankful for the little things.

Answer 7

Don't listen to the negative

talk about you, and don't be a

follower.

Do what is right.  It can be

hard, but, in the long run,

very rewarding.

Answer 8

There is no secret to being happy.  If it were, nobody would be happy.

TO be happy, your mind demands a challenge.  Your mind is looking for things to do.  So if you're finding yourself at home a lot, and not willing to go out, get on the computer and just read.  Get onto discussion forums, ask questions, and talk to people using your minds, not your bodies.

This requires the mind to go into a scientific process of deductive reasoning to figure out what you are thinking by reading what they wrote, then replying in kind.  The response you get from them should reconcile your differences.

If you think pain is the answer to every question, you should understand this.

Answer 9

Get up every morning and remind yourself the person in the mirror is responsible for your journey through life.  Never allow yourself to be guilty of anything without forgiveness, and never hold a grudge that you do not try to set right.  Treat others as you would like to be treated, and those who are less fortunate than yourself with respect.  Never allow another to determine your self worth, or diminish the self worth of others.  Admonish those who are negative to do better, but do it in a way that you are above the confrontation.

Answer 10

Living in the present moment. You can't change the past and the future hasn't happened yet.

Answer 11

Nobody can tell you what makes you happy because you have to figure that out and it's different for everyone.  I like to drink beer, fish, hunt, cook, and have s*x.  I do those things over and over and I'm about as happy as a person can be.  But those things will be different for you.

Answer 12

Eliminating negative self-talk and replacing it with positive self-talk.
