What do you love most about yourself? What makes you happy in life?

Question

Just wondering what make people happy......

Just wondering what makes people happy....c'mon guys I am feeling down and you guys can cheer me up!

Answer 1

I try to conduct my life in a manner so I can build good memories.

I'm 71 and I have lived and learned by my mistakes. I forgive my self for my mistakes and the mistakes I made that have effected others through no falt of ther own.

I have always tried to be all I can be to the best of my ability. I try very had to be positive. When I feel negative, I kick the crap out of my negative feeling and look for the positive.

I like my self. I have a great deal of self satisfaction. I do things to satisfy myself. I don't need a pat on the back from others.

I'm kind and I care.about others more than I care about myself.

Try to dicipline yourself in order to build good memories. By the time you get to my age you begin to live on your memories.

I want to share part of a letter that I wrote to my granddaughter, just after she married.

We fall in love and courtship is a glorious time that we will never again experience. We marry. We are young and become as one and begin a continual, journey through life as mortals. Life comes around just once here on earth and then one day when we have reached our destination, this earth stops long enough to let us off.

As long as we are true to our self, we allow SELF to love life. I respect myself. If we don't have respect for ourself then no one else will respect us.

I do love life. I hope that maybe there are some words of inspiration here for you. I don't want it to sound easy because you have to work at it everyday.

Answer 2

I like that I am a strong-minded person not easily swayed by the troubles and trials that may be swirling around me. (Believe me, I don't say that lightly because I have had some very serious trials and tribulations!) I like that I have learned my greatest lessons when there was hardship. Now, I can help others through their times of testing. What makes me happy is my relationship with God and my family, especially my 3 year old granddaughter. I like the fact that I'm older. The older I get, the happier I am. I would never go back to a younger age if I had to forget everything to do so. I will tell you what I tell my daughter. (Usually I'm putting my arms around her when I say...)"Don't worry, everything is going to be alright." You are going to be okay!

Answer 3

The most happiest in my life are those times when I made other people happy. The happier they are, the happier I am. I usually help other people without expecting a reward. My reward is the feeling that I felt after, It's the most wonderful thing. It never fail, you feel it all the time whenever you extend your heart to help someone whatever their needs may be.

I hope I satisfied your two questions, and hopefully cheer you up a little bit.

Answer 4

I like the fact that I'm able to learn, and to overcome obstacles by being persistent and flexible. I am happiest when I am outdoors, around other people, or simply at home reading a good book with a cup of cocoa. For me, it's all about the simple things that make life good, and those are availble to just about anybody who takes the trouble to look around and see them :-)

Answer 5

I love the fact that I finally got it. That I got the meaning of life, that I faced my demons and took responsibility for my actions. This makes me happy. And having a loving relationship with my family means the world to me. Having a career that I love fullfills me. Knowing that if I were to go right now, I would have peace of mind and contentment.

Answer 6

I love being with people who appreciate me for who I am. I also Enjoy helping other people. Do some thing nice for your self just because I said.I hope this helps you cause I'm kinda down too. If you feel better maybe I can as well. Have a great one.

Answer 7

I enjoy looking at a garden, birds, honey eaters, bugs and ants.

Makes you look at your own life in a way.. things that keep going around busy and in a hurry.. Much like human lives.

Just sitting back and stopping .. for a moment.. to take it all that is around us, and be in awe of it.. i find still blows me away.

Answer 8

Love is the nourishment for the soul . Just as food is to the body, so love is to the soul. Without food the body is weak, without love the soul is weak. And no state, no church, no vested interest, has ever wanted people to have strong souls, because a person with spiritual energy is bound to be rebellious.

Love makes you rebellious, revolutionary. Love gives you wings to soar high. Love gives you insight into things, so that nobody can deceive you, exploit you, oppress you.

The priests and the politicians survive only on your blood – they survive only on exploitation. They are parasites: all the priests and all the politicians. To make you spiritually weak they have found a sure method, one hundred percent guaranteed, and that is to teach you not to love yourself – because if a man cannot love himself he cannot love anybody else either.

The teaching is very tricky. They say: Love others – because they know if you cannot love yourself you cannot love at all. But they go on saying: Love others, love humanity, love existence, love nature, love your wife, your husband, your children, your parents, but don't love yourself.

To love oneself is selfish according to them, and they condemn self-love as they condemn nothing else. And they have made their teaching look very logical. They say: If you love yourself you will become an egoist, if you love yourself you will become narcissistic. It is not true. A man who loves himself finds that there is no ego in him. It is by loving others without loving yourself – trying to love others – that the ego arises.

The missionaries, the social reformers, the social servants, have the greatest egos in the world because they think themselves to be superior human beings. And all their love is false, because all their love is without any roots.

A man who loves himself takes the first step towards real love. It is like throwing a pebble into a silent lake; the first circular ripples will arise around the pebble, very close to the pebble, naturally – where else can they arise? And then they will go on spreading; they will reach the farthest shore. If you stop those ripples arising close to the pebble, there will be no other ripples at all. Then you cannot hope to create ripples reaching to the farthest shores; it is impossible.

The priests and the politicians became aware of the phenomenon: stop people loving themselves and you have destroyed their capacity to love. Now whatsoever they think is love will be only pseudo. It may be duty, but not love – and duty is a four- letter dirty word. Parents are fulfilling their duties towards their children, and then in return children will fulfill their duties towards their parents. The wife is dutiful towards her husband and the husband is dutiful towards his wife. Where is love?

Love knows nothing of duty >>

Answer 9

I'm at the risk of sounding totally besotted, but I truly feel happiest when I'm around my husband, and he's got his arms around me... I also feel happy when I've done something nice for someone else, e.g. working / donating to charitable organizations.

Answer 10

I love knowing that im loved.
Being around my best friends makes me so happy:).
