It would need to depend on why you are not enjoying life very much. It could be the case that "the good life" is not easy for you to live. If you think there is another reason for doing anything, other than that you think it will do you good, examine that reason. It might be that you think pleasure is the highest good and you are not pleased enough. It might be that you think virtue is the highest good and you are not happy about a lack of justice, honesty, courage, or balance in your life. One thing will be certain, though, even if you take your own life, and I hope you will not, it will be because you have decided that: "It would be better for me not to exist, than to live in pain." The problem with that solution, however, is that you are no longer around to notice the improvement! You will do what you think is best for you.

You would do well to remember the words of Marcus Aurelius, a Roman Emperor and Philosopher who said: "Our happiness depends on the quality of our thoughts". How you feel, how you react and how you deal with things is totally within your own control. No one makes you feel anything. You decide to react or feel in a certain way in response to outside stimulus. Once you understand this you can control and decide how you will feel despite what happens around you. If you want to be happy then make the choice and do it.

Examine your currently-held expectations about life. Are they unreasonable? Are your life-stance views populated with impossible goals?
You can enjoy life to the max if your mind is geared to accepting it for what it truly is... Real and sufficient.

Soul Shine is right. Although finding what you enjoy doing and if it can be done (with integrity) for a living that helps too. Be there for people that need you & they will be there for you when you need them--that's important.

Understand that you can "choose again." Your learned, limited ego made the previous choice that is not working out, but once you gain certainty that you are not your programmed identity, you are free to make a better choice.

Temperment is as spontaneous and unpredictable as the weather.

It's all about learning to appreciate what one has, as opposed to coveting what one wants.

find something you like to do. even if it's simple things and do them. doesn't matter what it is, just so you give yourself something to look forward to. thats the most important thing is having something, no matter how small to look forward to.
