What are your obstacles to happiness?

Question:I can never trust that it really is happiness. It seems I always have to feel like "it's not gonna last, so don't get too attached to the thought of being happy." (If that makes any sense.) I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop, to destroy all the happiness I feel. Damn, I need help.

at the moment is Money

My dissertation! I have to hand it in exactly 7 hours and I'm nowhere near finished. After I hand it in I'm sure I will be one of the happiest people in the world.... at least until my next responsibility hehe

My mind and my way of thinking.

To be A REAL PERSON and not need fake crap that the whole rest of the world needs! Like boxox, fake boobs, checking the magazines weekly for the celeb dish or dirt, ETC.

To be happy :)

The biggest obstacle to my happiness is my own lack of self-discipline.

The biggest aid to my happiness is my spouse.

Rainchild

Bunnies. Viscious things...

hindrances occurs because of other people also...

this is what we called "crab mentality"...

instead of giving good words in the man's triumph,
these people pulls you down...

this what blocks my happiness...

my happiness is not money..YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

but my happiness is to do things i have never done yet...

and actually i won...

yet UNHAPPY...

people, i mean most of the people are really, completely absurd!!!

hmmmm...

I am my own worst enemy and have more than once made the choices that limit or reduce my happiness.

Me. No one else has the power to obstruct my happiness unless I give them that power. No obstacle can beat me it will only lead me to a better way of doing what ever it takes to keep me in a state of bliss.

The biggest obstacle to happiness is the lack of knowledge of how to overcome major obstacles to happiness.

Does that make any sense?

myself usually, sometimes I am afraid, sometimes I spend too much time over thinking things, lately it has been the lack of money....the light is on at the end of the tunnel and it is slowly getting brighter!!!!!

Money can buy a lot of thins but money cannot buy happiness, money can buy medicine but money cannot buy health, money can buy a house but money cannot buy a home, ..........

Could be the obstacles of happiness are the ability to understand what is the essential nature (noumena) of happiness ???

My own spiritually awareness, sometimes it seems like my contributions to society, the environment, to other creatures, or to fellow man are futile in the grand scheme of things.

I think evryboby gets set back because of personal or life problems...nobody can live a life without problems, we all know that....what makes the diffrence is the way you react to that problem, your choices will make the diffrence in the end.

Idiots who infuriate other people for the sake of pleasure.

Sobriety / reality / weather / people / penury / hunger / pride / covetousness / lust / anger / gluttony / envy / sloth etc,etc.

Nothing I'm happy. I want something or to go somewhere I do it, or I try my best to obtain my goals. There really isn't any other way. Otherwise you are holding yourself back and the question would then need to be why are you keeping yourself from your happiness. You only get one trip around no one is going to give you anything, they are too busy making themselves happy. Live it up the way you want in an honest way, and how could ever be unhappy.

Long term chronic illness.
Negative thought patterns and bad habits.
Failed previous attempts to change.
Lack of support.
Lack of motivation to make things change.
Lack of coping skills.
Lack of opportunity.

Ego.
