The key to happiness is not a miracle pill. Try your best at everything you do, tell the people you love that you love them every chance you get, spend time with friends, live life for everything its worth, and never look back. Make other people's lives happy, it has a tendency to rub off on you. Never give up hope. It isn't effortless to make your life great, but it isn't too difficult either.

1. Ignore all others advice, except mine.
2. Get away from the fray, preferably in a natural, quiet setting.
3. List your assets and shortcomings.
4. List what few things make you happiest.
5. Ignore the pursuit of material things.
6. Decide to forge a new path just for you, that will make you content on your deathbed.
7. Progress a little each day, and you'll be far ahead of most.
8. Find pleasure in free and inexpensive past times.
9. Honor your body with water, fresh foods, clean air, walking, ample sleep and music.
10. Be the magnet you ought, and attract your soul mate, not by clothes or car or education or home...but by authenticity, dignity and grace.
11. Recognize that there is only one of you, and so, you are extremely precious.
12. Read the lives and thoughts of inspiring souls who preceded you.
13. Out-do them, as you can.
14. Find out if Christ is the Way.
15. If He is, follow Him.
That's it. Happiness is the feeling within, when all conditions are right. Control your thoughts and you'll direct your destiny.
Self esteem comes from ability and generosity.
The less you think of your self, the more you will radiate true success.
You go, girl!

There is none. Life is tough. Get over it. Even if your rich and famous and have the most luxurious life in the world, you still won't be happy. Character is the most important thing in life.
Help others, be a friend, don't cheat or steal or lie, and love others with all your heart. Don't steal anothers virginity or give up your own. Be respectful of everyone, even the begger on the street. Treat yourself and your body with respect, and don't ever give up on someone. Encourage everyone to be who they really are, and be who you really are in return. Trust those who've earned it, but be nice to everyone.
I myself get my joy in life from getting away fromt the hustle and bustle of everyday and getting close to my heavenly father. My favorite places to meet him are in music and in nature, because they calm me and help me give all my problems up to Him. He's the key to joy. Happiness just has to do with your circumstances (yay I got an A on my test!) but its never lasting.
But you ask how you can live with effortless ease. Nobody has absolutely no problems. If anything, Christians get more problems because now they not only have to stay afloat, they have to keep their faith, also. Nobody has an easy life. What you're asking for won't exist until God creates a new earth on which his children will live forever.

Living with effortless ease? That's like asking what the winning lottery numbers are....Might get one or two of the right ones but not all.
Lasting hapiness? Daily resignation to be so regardless of what's on your plate. Accept the differences of the world around you and appreciate them. Try the serenity prayer--"grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."

I don't know. But I feel that I have long term happiness when I do all my homework and do not procrastinate. There is nothing weighing on my mind and I am free to drift as I please, feeling no obligations. If an obligation comes up, I feel powerful to concur it.
Anyway, I am procrastinating a little bit right now, so I am not happy even though it is Spring Break. The good news is the procrastination bug is breaking because I actually have been doing some work (too bad its FRIDAY and spring break is almost over).

It's totally possible. But first you must know yourself completely. Then become comfortable with who you are and never apologize for it. And the truth will set you free. The more you understand about everything, the easier life will become.
Get rid of many of your inhibitions as these will end up causing you regrets, which is the opposite of your goal here.
I could go on and on and on. But I can say I live pretty much stress free in a life that would crush most people with stress. I'm no master of own plan but I've made much progress from my teen years.

Now your not talking about life in Human form........
Your talking about being a Robot..
life on this planet for the soul is designed to be trial and error so the soul can learn to evolve toward enlightenment.
Once you realize you are a Soul having a human
experience so you can evolve, you put things in
this human life in to proper perspective and it
becomes far more effortless.

IT'S ALL IN YOUR PERCEPTION OF LIFE!! HOW WELL YOU CAN ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES. HAPPINESS IS FALLING FLAT ON YOUR FACE AND HAVING THE CONFIDENCE TO KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL GET BACK UP AGAIN!!! THAT WILL BRING YOU PEACE OF MIND AND IN TURN HAPPINESS!! NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF " I WILL BE OK!"
