be incredibly dumb, the stupider you are the happier you will be, deny logic and get hooked into a religion!.!.!.and don't trouble yourself with things like reasons and truth!. just do what others tell you to do and think about as little as you possibly can!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Once I began to truly love who I am my life became so much happier!. I am who I am, and there are many people who love me for it!. Everything is content in my life!.
also, everything could always be worse and there is always good in every situation, even if you don't recognize it right away!. Once, you begin to look for the good in every situation it will become more easy to recognize!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The secret is to set yourself goals and FULFILLING them!.

At the moment, I have just completed one of my life goals and that is to own a horse!. I cant tell you how happy that makes me feel right now!. I have a bounce in my step and feel positive!.
My next goal is to successfully train it!.

What I recommend you do is write down all the possible achieveable goals you want, and work and live your life towards them!. Start off with small goals!. It will make you positive knowing you reached those goals and then slowly build up to the big goals in life!.

p!.s!. Another thing is being in love, that helps alot with self-confidence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you're obviously missing something!.
happiness is free, so dont depend on anything or even anyone to make you happy!. look at life a different way- its a gift!. do simple, fun things by your self or with loved ones, it should make you happy!. get deeper into your religion, also!.
(i suggest christianity)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Go with the flow!. Don't spend your life swimming upstream!. Accept things for what they are, even if they suck!. If they suck too much and you can't stand it, take steps to correct it, do something constructive about it, or have it removed, if nothing can be done!.!.!. well, then live with it!.

Really is simple with practice!. Rent the movie "Better off dead"!. Typical 80's comedy, but the line in there that keeps getting said is, " Sometimes, you just have to say- What The F***"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My secret to staying happy is realizing that no one can make me happy!.!.!.that happiness has to come from within me!. Too often, we rely on things or people to make us happy!.!.!.I believe in the end, if we like the person we are, we will be happy and we won't have to rely on others to fill that void!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Making others happy never fails to keep myself happy!.

I always think of the people who can never experience the things that I was so lucky to experience!. I think about people who are less fortunate than I am and I think 'Wow, I'm so lucky!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just always think, "There is ALWAYS something to smile about!." Even in the worst situations, I think one can always find at least one thing to make one laugh!.

Just don't worry about stupid little things!. Look past those!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you are contented and satisfied then you can remain happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
