how can we be happy in our life?do you know any way?

Answer 1

I know a way that works for me. In 1983 I read the book, "Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health" which opened my eyes to why people act the way they do and therefore helped me to understand why I act the way I do. It made me feel better about myself and my life has been happy since then.

Answer 2

I suggest two books for the question of happiness (and I do not work for or know either of these authors):

Happiness is a Serious Problem by Dennis Prager (1998)

How Can I Enjoy this Moment? by Samuel M. Silver (1967).

The second book is harder to find and written almost 40 years ago but still relevant for happiness in 2006. Also, learn (if you haven't already) to use your strengths, positive traits and talents to help others. Those who narcissistically serve themselves and their own pleasures (or who do evil against others) above all else will invariable be unhappy. Happiness takes work and is not easy--but it worthwhile in the end.

Answer 3

You have several answers already that touch upon a centered seed of loving yourself as a pathway to joy. I can add to this an exercise suggested by a Unity minister, Leila Fisher, years ago: Strip to naked (rid yourself of all earthly adornments, to include jewelry, perfumes, etc.) and stand before a mirror (preferrably a full-length one). Make pupil-to-pupil eye contact with yourself and slowly say your full name (If female and married, add maiden name), followed by "I love you." If you break off from the direct pupil-to-pupil eye contact, start again. If you have any negative residues from life's impacts, this is a much more difficult exercise that it seems. When I did this exercise more than 20 years ago, the eye contact was hard to maintain, but once I was able to penetrate the various barriers and get into my core belief system, there was a breakthrough that produced a flood of weeping from the sheer relief of letting go of the classical conditionings of negativity's layering and giving myself permission to love me just as I am--no adornments. Those who tell you that happiness begins within are correct. There is a second level, too: Know that absolutely everything that happens in life springs from Divine Idea (Omnipotent Oneness) and works for good, whether you comprehend the inherent blessings of the moment or not. Practice seeking out the blessings oftimes camouflaged in whatever life brings, while remembering that "as the mind goes, the energy flows." If you focus on positives, you electromagnetically attract positives; if you choose to focus on negatives, you produce negatives. Joy is a state of mind.

Answer 4

See each moment as a privelege and live it to death. Of course this is only a theoretical aim interrupted by the different states of feeling and mind that influence how we respond to each moment. Wether we are paralysed in it, reacting to it, enduring it or loving it. Often all it takes is a change in perception or alteration in brain chemisty or both for good to become bad or bad to become good. I think we just have to be content with having happiness as an ideal we are always aiming towards but not blind to the fact that the worse bad is the better good when you finally get to it feels. We need to have amnesia to the miserable moments and focus on the happy ones and what we did or thought in those moments that made them happy. The only way to find true happiness and contentment to be grateful to God for the privelege of being alive and accept that life wholeheartedly with its ups and its downs.

Answer 5

I can only tell you how I became happy.

I finally accepted the fact that there are things I do not have control over and being unhappy, sad, or angry about them doesn't do me any good.

I believe the key to true happiness lies in selflessness. I've devoted my life to my 2nd wife (8 years) and my children. I've never been happier! I found out that serving others can give some happiness but being happy with yourself is more important than anything.

By keeping up with your responsibilities to others and yourself you will become happier by default.

Answer 6

Simple simple simple....I was raised in a poor enviornment, my parents slowy came into a business that took off while i was in high school..I went from poor to having more than most in a relative short time frame..what im trying to say is that, money is not real, and can not at all what so ever make a person Happy in itself... Happiness comes from within...first you have to realize that you are you...They way you were born is the way your going to die. Come to peace with who and what you are, if you like it or not. Once you are able to fully love yourself, then its all down hill from there bub...You CAN NOT love another person, even your family, unless you love u. Once you truly tuly luv yourself you can begin to love others...after that you can get true love recipricated back to you...the love and respect of family and the love you get from your girlfriend or boyfriend is priceless...no amount of prozac, money, sex, nothing can come close to the feeling of truley being loved and truley being able to love another...

Answer 7

First by accepting yourself and that anything that happens to you is right. Live in the moment.
Remember that our initial state - thats when we are children - is pure happiness.

Education, society blocked all that.
Through meditation you can get rid of all the burden and be maturely happy again.

Answer 8

Do you mean you have never been happy? Or do you mean you want to be constantly happy? I don't think you can be constantly happy but I believe you can abide in peace through the grace of Jesus.

Answer 10

Know that your results are based on the choices you make.

Stop being a victim to things outside your control.

Find a purpose and pursue it with gusto.

Make more working than non-working choices.

(And working means: enhances your life and the lives of those around you.)
