Staying happy seems a tricky thing, - it seems that my own negative thoughts destroy my happiness. But now when I realize this, I might improve in this. :slight_smile:

Maybe it shouldn’t feel like a work in the first place, if you just let it to arrive in your life? But the question is that what recipe would I need to find so it would feel right.

I think at least I shouldn’t push myself too much. I should just let things smoothly flow in a natural way.

Being in control makes me happy. Spirituality makes me happy. Money makes me happy. Constant improvement and understanding with my hobbies of music and bicycle racing and remote control car racing makes me happy. My relationship with loved ones makes me happy. When my loved ones are happy it makes happiness easier. Ease of life makes me happy.

I am naturally inclined to melancholy and daydreaming. I need something to focus on: a movie, a book, writing software or talking to people.

Happiness is a difficult thing to be I think. Maybe I overthink it but… definitely a bit illusive at times atleast.

I’m quite bad at being happy, I’m better at staying neutral but that still is classed as sad or miserable by others.

I suck at being happy but I excel at being content.

I piss off a lot of salesmen because they think I need their temporary crap to be content.

Zen Buddhists say you can’t step in the same river twice. Change is a certainty.

I think you are too. I try to be positive. There’s a lot to gain by being positive. You can have nothing and have everything, and have everything and have nothing.
