You live life where all you do is try to be good and right and live by the laws. You forgive everyone, and those who can’t forgive you, you simply move on with your life without them in it. You surround yourself with others like you. You accept everyone and everything for who or what they are. You never sweat the small stuff because you know in the scheme of things, its of little importance. You love with all of your heart. Everything goes your way because nothing CAN’T go your way. Very little can disappoint you because you know that whatever happens in life, something good will come out of it. From all of this you are afraid of nothing and positive about everything. No human can get in the way of your happiness, because your happiness isn’t dependant on any other human but yourself.
Please answer and state your religion/belief!

Not much to criticize here. This life style take a lot of hard work and discipline, since we're basically selfish, and that selfishness ALWAYS comes out in crisis.
The main difference between this and Christianity, though, is that Christians wake up after they've died. Why not have the same life style and get the bonus?

"You live life where all you do is try to be good and right and live by the laws."
- But what if you happen to disagree with a law? Fake being happy? That can't be good...
"You forgive everyone"
- Even murderers and rapists? To forgive them is sociopathic.
"those who can’t forgive you, you simply move on with your life without them in it."
- Ever heard of giving people a second chance? It's good to do that once in a while. To simply move on is being judgemental of people.
"You accept everyone and everything for who or what they are."
- Again, even the murderers and rapists, etc.? Accept THEM?
"You never sweat the small stuff because you know in the scheme of things, it's of little importance."
- Do that and you blowing them off will build up in you and then you'll explode with anger and lash out at everyone. It's important to deal with trivial things that make you angry too.
"Everything goes your way because nothing CAN’T go your way."
- What if everyone in your family was killed and you watched them die in agony and you're left to grieve and live with guilt of having not saved them? Is that 'going your way'? Expect the unexpected. Not EVERYTHING can go one's way.
"Very little can disappoint you because you know that whatever happens in life, something good will come out of it."
- It's good to be optimistic but not SO optimistic that if something good DOESN'T come out of it, you can't face reality. So from that POV, this particular way ot thinking has negative effects.
"From all of this you are afraid of nothing and positive about everything."
- Again, good to be positive, but you have to be realistic. Not just idealistic.
"No human can get in the way of your happiness, because your happiness isn’t dependant on any other human but yourself."
- That's good. But it CAN happen that a human makes you unhappy. That's just life.

Yes there are a few problems here.
1.) You must realize that there are no laws other than the ones you apply to your self. When you are living by "the laws" as you stated then you are living as a slave because you live a life based on rules and regulations that you did not come up with. So in turn you are not a free individual.
2.) It is good to surround your self with others like you, but one does not grow as an individual if he does not have trials. People who think differently are often times our biggest trials. What good has a man done if he only teaches him self? If you think you will be happy surrounding your self with people like you why don't you build a house of mirrors and call them your friends!

I see nothing wrong with living that way at all. I wish the entire human race could be like that, we would be a much happier world!
I'm not really religious but I totally respect the beliefs of people that are. Whatever gives someone strength, guidance and comfort is okay by me.
Keep living the way you are, because obviously it pays off and your happy.

I think this is a wonderful way to live. I don't have a religeon, but I am very spiritual. Organized religeon is too full of bigots and hatred for those of other faiths, and most people who practice it don't live the way you are describing.
An additional answer for sparkaran. I would e mail you but you don't allow it. You forgive everyone because you deserve it, forgiveness does nothing for the person who is forgiven, most times they don't give a crap. When you forgive you free your own soul of all the anger, hatred and resentments that build up on your own soul. It is very freeing to resent no one. It is hard but it is the best way to live your life free of all these negative emotions.

regardless of religion this is a model of how someone should live. i have no defineable beliefs or religion. i believe you can be moral and good without any god involved. i'd rather be a good person just because. i don't have to be guilted into it by a "god." the one religion i studied was paganism. the only rule was "harm none- and do what thou wilt." basically. do whatever you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. sounds like you've got that part down. keep it up and you'll be alright.

Sounds good to me. I could not live that very life, mostly because I believe that very little can disappoint you because you know that whatever happens in life can either be improved by you or unaffected by you, so you handle it as best you can.
But, in general, I support this lifestyle. I am an agnostic atheist.
And if there should actually be a god, I can't imagine that he'd be that much of a jerk for him to punish you for living that life. If he is, then nobody stands a chance.

that is what i'm attempting to make certain! i'm contained in the Washington D.C. section and the houses are ridiculous. They anticipate me to pay $a million,six hundred for a 2 mattress room homestead. yet in Colorado i visit lease a 5-mattress room homestead for $a million,350! That become my very last homestead and that i have rented a similar length homes for far less and in a really magnificent section. besides, there are some prolonged stay lodges all around the rustic. i have got here across that prolonged stay united statesa. is most inexpensive. there is also position of living hotel via Marriott and Microtel hotel besides.

That sounds like a great way to live. Too bad we all couldn't live like that because there's too much drama out there. I believe what's written in the Holy Bible, I don't really follow religion.

I agree and try to live this way.........however, I have a certain group of people who are related to me and won't allow me to have peace. I also have an ex who will not let go.
Other than that I do have peace, but one cannot control the outlook of others in this respect.
My view is to be positive like you stated above, but to also be realistic if you have pestering fools like I do so that it won't end up costing me my life.(Yes, they are that insane sometimes, but I understand you might not be able to relate.)
