The moments in life that I have been truly happy have not been defined by what I have .... but rather what I have given.

I am truly happy. I am a single dad of two great children. My purpose, so far, has been to nurture them the best way I can. They are my joy too. Life, I know has many purposes. Even if things are not going good for you, your purpose may be to help others and thus, in some strange way, you help yourself too.
If you know you are mortal and there is nothing that will stay permanently....so even evil will pass.....Life is very interesting if you see it as a challenge. It is only when you expect things that you may be disappointed.....
Life is very short....and can be very sweet too, provided you allow yourself to enjoy what we take for granted....take care....

You know I finally did... but it took a while. It started when my brother-in-law invited me to a Bible study. I thought that it was going to be just another Holy this and Holy that... Wrong!
It started with this statement
"It's not about you.
The purpose of you life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mine, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even you wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were made by God and for God - and until you understand that, LIFE will never make sense."
With that said... You have to understand that you are like a servant. You service other without getting or asking something in return. You understand that you look at LIFE everyday, hour, minutes, second, and moment with the thoughts of how precious it is that you are able to wake and take that breath of air in your lungs.
That you are able to look outside your window and see how beautiful the mountains and the green pasture are.
Then imagine that God made this world and for you, so that you can see how he had place the punishment on his son Jesus so that you are given the choices to believe or not believe in him.
Once you understand your purpose and gifts that you have within you... it allow you to do less in LIFE - by focusing on what matters most. You learn about what it is like to have that peace and harmony knowing that there's a purpose.
It is once said... "There's a method to the Madness"
So seek what you heart desires and not the mind... for wherever the heart goes, the mind will follow.

I'm truely happy with my life, even though at times dificulties occure, and i struggle at times, i'm still happy with my life, i try to be at least, even if people aren't so nice to me as they should, or i get yelled at badly one day! I still feel like i should still truely believe i have a happy life! My family makes me this way, my friends make me feel this way to, without my friends and family, i probably wouldn't be happy, but i do have great friends, and loving family members, so my life is mostly comlete, so then i can say i'm happy with my life! Why aren't you, you should try, you'd be more happier, if you actually tried living a happy life, despite the problems you might encounter along the way, never give up hope with life, no matter how bad it could get, it could always get better, you never know, it's in fate's hands, but mostly yours, you decide what to do with you life, and hopefully you choose to make it a happy life if it really isn't right now! Best of luck!

I am happy with my life because my life belongs to Christ and I have a mission to fulfill for Him. I now view all things-good and bad-as a lesson and I know that everything happens for a reason.
We know that all things work for together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Life is what is. I love it!
It is the manifested material universe, and you could not have light without dark. Pain is inevitable, so is joy.
Life is where we experience all of it.
It is mystical and profound, and sometimes very painful.
But, It's nature is bliss. It's purpose is being.
That's who and what we are.
With love;
Jonnie

Our only true purpose in life is to experience everything we can, so that God can experience everything, through all of us. Also, to know what we really are (experiencially), by experiencing what we are not. You can't know what cold is unless you first experience hot. You can't know what Good is, unless you first experience evil. And we will eventually remember what we really are, and where we come from.
