    Hi unJunk,

    I read your profile, and saw that one of your goals is "to feel wanted". This leads me to assume that perhaps you have experienced a great deal of loss, rejection, and/or abandonment in your life. Naturally, this would make you skeptical about achieving happiness, and would wreak havoc on your self-esteem, always wondering what it is you lack that makes people reject or leave you. The thing is, you don't lack anything. What you need in order to achieve happiness exists right there inside of you. You just need to learn how to tap into it.

    Happiness is a choice, so what you first need to do is to choose it. Believing that it's possible will open doors of opportunities you never dreamed of.

    I totally agree with you! All of us are born with a hole inside that will never truly be satisfied with anything here on this earth. You were created by God, He loves you, and you will be forever changed and forever satisfied if you give your life to Him. True joy comes from Jesus. He says that He is the living water that, if you drink it, you will never thirst again.

    Being Happy is a myth...Its an illusion to what we all are trying to attain. In everything we do in our daily lives its this deluded concept that what we are doing can somehow make us happy. We go to our jobs to slave away and earn a few dollars to buy stuff. We bite into a warm chocolate chip cookie for 5 seconds of bliss. A cigarette, a drink, a relationship, SEX. None of it is happiness its this false short lived instant... a brief moment. Its all a lie


    The cake is also a lie...

    LOL...this made me laugh for realz... thank you

    You're welcome, you haz happy nao? :wink:

    Happiness is not a goal, it is a process, and an attitude.

    At all times, you decide.

    Certainly, misery likes to be shared. Suck it up, bro. Find your reason, and fight for it.

    Happiness or joy can be found in many things, small things, big things. I'm happy this morning that Hurricane Sandy hooked around my city and we didn't get hit as badly as many others. I find joy in the fact that my husband smiles when I walk into a room and every day, tells me I'm beautiful. It made me smile on Saturday, when I was raking leaves, to see so many different colours in them, and then to have the neighbourhood toddlers all want to help me with the raking (making a bigger mess) whilst in their halloween costumes. Getting a bag of my favourite British candy in a care package from my sister makes me smile! Life is made up of good and bad, bitter and sweet.

    I'm a Christian, but I'm not going to preach. Jesus said, "I come that you may have life in its fullest", not "I come so you will be happy all the time". I take that to mean, that living life fully, is experiencing both the good and the bad. The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" is one of my favourite songs.

    I'm sorry that you seem to be so unhappy. .I hope that you can find joy in the little things that make life worth living.

    I have enough of the small, momentary happy moments to lead to an overall happiness. It is merely ratio. Sadness is only in small moments too...... just have more good than bad, and, in basic math, that translates to relative happiness...... except for maybe in your case, where misery, sadness, anger and bitterness outnumber happy, peaceful, fabulous times....... in which case, you have chosen to allow those things to inflict misery on yourself. So, perhaps, the misery that you feel is a myth......

    I feel sad for you. We make our own happiness, obviously you've opted out.
