what makes and keeps you happy in life.

[Mengy]

What makes me truly happy in life? Honestly, it's not just any one thing. The top of the list would include my health, my wife, my very nice job, my decent financial situation; I don't really have too much to complain about other than small things. There is lots of things I would like to change, but the trick is to not let the negatives get to you and just enjoy whatever moments you can.

I guess if I had to state one and only one thing that makes me happy in life, it would be my attitude towards life itself. Some people will never be happy because they have unrealistic goals and dreams of life.

Too many things in my life make me happy... My BF, my little sisters, my family, studying something I like, realizing that I'm in control of my life, the sun, the good red wine...

When someone I care about cares about me. Especially the first time you find out they care - you aren't quite sure where you stand, and then you find out they care.

Knowing my family is well and hearing them laugh

First noble truth: The existance of impermanence
Nothing lasts forever...so don't get too attached to life. Happiness and suffering are not permanent.

Second: Suffering arises from craving, simple enough

Third: The cessation of suffering comes from the cessation of desire/craving

Fourth: The cessation of craving is aided by eightfold path (basically the Buddhist equivalent to the Christian 10 commandments, except a very very laid back version) (This is where the concept of karma comes from)

This is pretty much Buddhism lol. It's a logical 'philosophy (I don't consider it a religion)'. I'm not an expert in this though.

realizing that I'm in control of my life

That would make me extremely happy. Unfortanitly I lost control of many aspects of my life due to irrisponsibily and have been suffering and worrying about the consequences.

You are always in control of your life but some, like myself haven't decided to take control just yet.

and why is this? Are you like me, that you are never satisfied.

I could be hanging out with friends and they would all be having a great time and I would just wanna leave and do somethign else. I can rarely stay in one place for to long.

Things I use to consider fun times, I look back now and they sucked also.

It truely is the worst thing to be a miserable person, and it's hardto change it.
