Who out there is blissfully happy with their life? and how did you get where you are?

Answer 1

A higher power has made it's presence known.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say I was blissfully happy, but I am happy. I decided along time ago that I as long as I change what I can and the rest I don't think about because there is no point in worrying about the things that you have no power over influencing such as feeding the world's poor people. I do my bit, I help out once a year in a homeless shelter, I give to various charities during the course of a year and I don't feel guilty for what causes I can't help.
My children are happy and healthy individuals whom I have taught to be independent, understanding and humane.
I love going to work although it is a hard job it is all worth it every day, if I stop liking my job I will go to another job and work there.
The only key to true happiness is to be true to yourself and the rest will follow.

Answer 3

I am not blissfully happy I think there is so much more I could get out of life I just dont know how too

Although I do have a wonderful family who I love, and I have a few great friends (but i would like more) I have a good job and a nice flat and I am very happy with all this and think myself very lucky.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say I'm 'blissfully happy' but I try every day to become the best person I can, and to appreciate what I have.
If you don't like yourself, there's little chance other people will, so do what you can to make yourself a better person in your eyes and it'll reflect in other people's behaviour towards you.
If you're unsatisfied with a situation in your life, don't just complain, do what you can to change it. And if it turns out that you are powerless to change it, then try to accept it and move on.
This practise won't make you instantly 'blissfully happy', but it may help you to enjoy who you are and what you already have more easily.
Hope this helps :)

Answer 5

I don't know if "blissfully happy", is the word I would use, but I am happy and content. I am not rich and live in a humble little cottage, so it is not possessions. Its a state of mind, I choose to be happy and try to keep focused on the good things in my life. Take pleasure in the small things in life, like a beautiful day, good friends. Making right decisions about who you marry and where you work. And last but not least, faith in God. I can't tell you the number of times when I have been so low I didn't think I could go on, but faith in God some how brought me through. Also, I try to do nice things for those less fortunate on a regular basis. Try to keep some good friends over your lifetime. Hope your life will be wonderful and blessed.

Answer 6

I don't think I'm blissfully happy with my life, one of the reasons is that such happiness is highly relative and subject to something inside and outside. First of all, 'all happiness is in the mind' (English proverb), therefore, we need to learn to be content with what we have/are then practical meditation might help us to control the mind.

For your next query, of course, I've passed various moments of happiness and suffering which depend on each particular problem or situation. Thus, we should learn to get tough, be modest with happiness and be calm with suffering. In other words, if one can control his/her mind, he/she should be happy to some extent with his/her life, not blissfully (I'm sorry). Such is life!

Answer 7

I once had a breakdown, and nothing phases me much now, when you're trapped in the epitome of hell self observing, healing and dealing with yourself, you come up bouncing and knowing things aren't ever that bad and its all character building, and i think as long as you can look back on your day and admire yourself for the way you have handled the challenges that you have faced, then you should be happy

Answer 8

Yes i am, and only got here by accepting that life is difficult and that pain needs to be faced.
Self acceptance and being assertive, loving and giving has a lot to do with it.
When we realise that all happiness starts inside and not outside we will be happy

Answer 9

I wake up every day reminding myself that any day on the green side of the grass is a good one. I had the terrible experience of having my husband and my sister die within 6 weeks of each other -- they were 32 and 33, respectively. I don't think I took life for granted before they died, but that shattering experience definitely made me realize that most problems are small, and that I am lucky to be here. I hope you find hope and happiness soon -- I will keep you in my prayers! Best of luck.

Answer 10

i am as happy as i think that i could ever get and the only way to get there is to start at rock bottom and work your way all the way to the top if i had never been married to my first husband i would have never had the wonderful kids that i do have and if i had never divorced him because of the misery that he put me through then i would not have found the beautiful soul that i have been married to for the last 5 years everything happens for a reason and even if something bad happens then something good will come of it even if you learned a lesson as simple as knowing not to make a small mistake again all life's miseries lead to life's treasures

Answer 11

I did not settle for mediocrity. I analyzed my searching mind, to see where its unyielding hunger led. I forced myself to face all my fears, to find the illusion underneath. I checked out the physical world thoroughly. I even tried the spiritual. There was no stone I left unturned. I became self-reliant. Meaning, I did not depend upon any others to answer for me, the questions that were rooted deep in my heart. What did they know? Where had they been? Did they have a personal experience of God or Larger Life? Was there a God at all?

I asked myself many internal questions, like, who am I? How did I arrive here? I tried to trace my roots back to my Original Beginning, if there was such a thing. Who could know? Who could answer for me? Was I alone? Did I believe in God? Was there a Father God, as well as a Mother? Did religion have the answer? Could I access God within? How would I know if I never try? Did God have a name like Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus or Mother Mary? Was it possible to hear the dead talk? Scary thought, but I tried that too. I feared little after awhile, maybe nothing. I began to laugh immeasurably, as the answers rolled in. Who I was became a joy to discover and "rediscover", not just according to the earth sciences, but also according to the meta-physical "sciences" as well, meaning above or beyond the realms of limited physical life. I made effort to understand and extend myself into little known "other worldly" "sciences". For me, this was the icing on the cake. These meta-physical terms are known to many as astral travel, i.e., out-of-body discoveries and more. Then I did something I thought I would never do. I ask for a Spirit Guide to guide me into these "unearthly" realms. My personal choice was Mother Mary, as I liked the grace and magnitude with which she demonstrated pure love. I often thought of Jesus or Joseph, as I wanted to be balanced in my newfound love of searching, or, as some teach, simply "remembering" the Ancient Truth.

Am I fully satisfied with who I am? How could I be completely? I think the journey never ends, thank God. And yet I've reached a plateau in my life, where answers bring me ecstasy and rarely ever pain... not even mild disappointment. I grew up out of pain by reaching inside its message. From pain I learned this miracle. When you do not have complete understanding of a thing, it will visit you again and again and again, until you know its source. This is not an obsession on pain that I speak of, but simply a movement back through time to really pinpoint its origin, and then release it. This is what I live for... complete understanding of not only myself and others, but to include the creatures, the rock and plants, the creepy crawlers , the tiniest of all, and especially the nearly unseen, astral forms of nature and of God. Some call these "barely seen" observations not real or scary or crazy dumb. But for me, they were the key, the golden nugget that contained all life, and not just some small portion of it. If you plunder the depths of the things you love, there are endless rewards of joy and even bliss. There is no limit to this thing that brings continuous awe, this blissful state that most call… "God". Got a better name for the entirety of the Whole of Life, including the endless Beyond?

Thank you for your time with me today, for by giving you my story I too receive more joy.
