i can never seem to stay happy w/ where i am and what i'm doing in life. there are many times where i'm glad i am where i am, but there are also many times (such as now) where i feel so...dissatisfied, with how things are going with me, my family, my job, my relationship, etc. i try my best to stay positive, but it never seems to work for long. how can i learn to be happy with what i have?

Hey there,
I can relate to what ur feeling. It's like things are great and you know that they're great and that they could be much worse but you still feel dissatisfied anyway!
What I tend to do in these situations is try and do something that makes me relax and vent my negative feelings. For me its taking a walk out in the fresh air, or crying even, writing any old story or poem that u feel like, singing (even tho im crap lol) just get ur feelings out there it doesn't matter how and then once you feel like u have no more to say then, well i say anyway, i say to myself that this is just a low point and when it passes i will be fine. Cos that's the truth - once this bad moment passes it will be fine. you will be satisfied again right?!
Accept the fact that you have this type of pattern of emotions and you will overcome them and become a more happier person. But its really important to vent all ur feelings out before you try and be positive. If you are gonna be positive then be positive from the inside out, not only on the surface ok.
It's ok if ur not happy wen everything seems great :) it'll be fine in the long run, of that you can be certain.
Hope that I helped out a bit! :)

Oh. It seems that things are really bad at your end. However there is hope, do these things and you will start feeling positive about your life and family.
1. Visit the nearest hospital and just go and chat with the patients there and see their relatives.
2. Visit old age homes and talk to the elders for ten minutes
3. Visit an orphanage and see how the children eat, play and dress.
4. Visit Church (if you are a christian) and sit there for atleast half an hour.
In other words, two simple things, see and meet people who are in worse conditions than you are and second, try to spend time with yourself.
Simple things do make a lot of effect.

Everyone has those moments when you feel like there is no need to struggle.Normally, it cos of a routine that you have created for yourself.Break from the routine and do something spontaneouly.
Make a promise to yourself that you will stay happy no matter what happens. Repeat a positive phrase every time you feel low like" I am having a very good time now" and repeat it tll you believe it. If i had a choice between being grumpy and being happy , I would choose to be happy. Make your choice and do everything to live up to your choices.
Whenever you feel everything is not perfect remember what your family means to you, all the benefits you get from your job and count your blessings.

I wish I knew, I seem to have a pattern similar to yours. I try to look at the little things that bring me some joy, silly things even, on a daily basis. Sometimes it works. I can't concentrate too long on the big picture though, or I tear things to pieces. I wish I could be more content. I think that sort of outlook is a wonderful gift some people have, wish I could truly feel that way instead a trying to fake it.

Thats somthing that i often go through. Its hard to be happy about everything. I believe its just impossible to be happy all the time. We always want to be better or to be happier etc etc. One thing that helps me is thinking about all the things that make me happy. Never leave behind the things that you love...hobbies activites people. Always do them no matter how busy or hectic life may get. If the things that you love dont do anything for you anymore then maybe you are depressed...in which case you may need medication to help you.

Being egocentric takes a foul beat or in different words takes on a unfavorable connotation, unnecessarily. the 2nd somebody is happy, meaning that the emotion of happiness is being felt, there is sure to be a journey right here and there. that's called synchronicity. whilst 2 human beings vibrate on the comparable velocity, they instinctively comprehend it, and there are generally 3. it incredibly is because it would desire to to confirm progeny and to greater creation. it incredibly is my definition of soul friends. They jive. Cheers!

That definitely just takes time, life isn't totally perfect ever, people try and try but are always missing something, that's life. I think woman have a harder time cause they are so emotional and always need attention. but hang in there and try to find peace. Maybe go camping and get some fresh air and bring a dog and watch the dog have fun, that works for me you just need to relax

You haven't found your "thing" the thing that defines you and makes you unique. Whats you age? There is a point in most peoples life where they become figity in their current surroundings. You will move through it and remember to never stop learning and always keep assessing your happiness in your current situation. It shows you have potential and are able to keep growing and learning.

Accept yourself,flaws & all,and learn to love yourself.
It's a process,but it's all about the messages we tell
ourselves each day & night. Re-program your mind
with good messages,& slowly,yet surely,you'll cheer
up & be happy,and excersise is a natural happiness
stimulator,like jogging,jump rope,ect....
Do good things for yourself when you can,& start
good skin care & actually floss your teeth with the
cinnamon floss,and make special time just for you!

Life is too short not to be happy with what you have....There are many of people who would love to be where you are. Life is a blessing! Enjoy it and roll with the punches! It could always be worse!
