Key to happiness is contentment and key to success is happiness?

[aznfondue]

Recently I found myself being more edgy and falling into depression and boredom.

So i've been searching for ways to get myself out of this funk.

People say key to happiness is contentment. And happiness is the key to success.

How could you move forward when ur absolutely happy?

I always wondered..

I'm a hard worker and I'm hard on myself too. But I felt like if I don't whip myself I tend to get lazy and can't improve. But I felt as if I never had much happiness in my life either. Those two sentences just don't click with me at all.

if you're close to the edge of depression, is than your Ego miss something than your mind have no conscience.

for example i was feeling strange sensation of sadness myself. and with introspection.

i've found, than i need inside me, to be dad one more time.

ther's sometime thing than no money, no friend, no selfmaking, can bring satisfaction.

i think ther's about the same for you.

you key of your happyness is what you ego need to be complete.

 

[aznfondue]

i'm not quite getting what ur trying to say.

To be dad one more time? what do you mean by that?

I'm a dad myself so I'm curious to know what u mean.

xcuse me but i'm in an other time zone. it was 03:00 am or so when i wrote that;

i meant the key of the happyness is to find what your ego is missing. and for a example, i was saying than for me, to begin dad one more time, it was what i needed.

you're daddy man? congrats, perhaps the key of happyness for you is to find what's missing to your ego, and perhaps it's something else.

it was not a recommandation, just my thought.

Kane is right,you are looking for something that will bring back all your happiness,right now im in the same situation,im nearly 46 and not really happy at all personally,now dont get me wrong im newly married,2 years in july,and couldnt asked for a more special lady,if it wasnt for her,i dont know where i would be

what hit me was a nasty divorce,ex left me,nearly lost my house,so i moved away from my home,the place where i grew up and moved to the city and am trying to start my life over,and it is hard,and i still hadnt figured out what i want to be happy myself,back at my home i always had stuff to do,but here there is nothing like im used to,yes i still go home and work there on my family's farm,I guess i might be going through mid-life crisis,i d ont know,its tough though,you just haxet to figure out whats missing in your life

happiness is a state of mind

happiness is a state of mind

you think?

in the right of constitution, it's never said than happyness is something you can feel or have.

but it's a right than everybody can have to pursuit.

it's a quest!

see the movie, the pursuit of happyness.

when you are happy, you will start the second after to miss something else.

then happyness is always something you have to seek about.

the only thing you need to know, is what could you make you happy.

in fact. is plus a way of life, than something you can have and stay with.

I think there are many quick fixes to happiness, doing something new, traveling somewhere, spending time with family, friends, etc..
It makes u feel happy for a few hours or days, but it doesn't have a long affect.
If you are a person that has undealt issues &
the wrong attitute as a whole.

Real happiness comes from with in u,
ofcourse no one can be happy all the time, life happens & we go through different situations that affect our emotions...
But I think true happiness comes when u learn how to deal with what ever life throws at u without the need for a temporary fix.

Happiness is a state of mind, I think we each can chose to be happy or not.. we all have the capability to live our life happy, if we chose to.

realy, i'm not sure. from what i learn from my life, is not just in your head. not just in your mind.

when you reach ( yes i said you REACH) the happyness you can see aswell in the mirror in the morning, everybody can see it.
ther's some strengh over the natural strengh ( and here tolks a ancien tren-man); happyness is something which have the taste that makes you to have the obcession to pursuit it for the rest of your life.

it start in the middle of the ego, i think we share the point of view about that; but it's something we have not inside, we have to FEEL the happyness and continue the pursuit to feel it again and again and again.

where the ego finish, start the quest of the happyness.

I get what your saying Kane, and I understand how sometimes we might not find the "happiness" we want to feel.. depression, personal problems, etc might get in the way.. And when someone is affected by something like depression I understand they need treatment to get better.

What I mean is, at the end of the day the only person standing between u & happiness is u..
I do believe we have the ability to choose to be happy, Once u work through what needs to be done, & u realize that life is not that complicated, is us who make it complicated.. U can choose your emotions therefor u can choose to be happy.

Can't depend on others or things to make u happy, u need to find it within u.

Of course things affect me or anyone else, but after u get angry u realize it & let it go, like u choose to get angry u can choose to be happy.

it's an other topic, but, you know what i passed these last time... i was close to depress heavily, but my neurologue said : ther's no, it never been, ans it will certainly never be, chemical treatment that works on depression. unless if dopamine is too low in production, or not poduced at all, ther's nothing than realy can help someone for whom depression is diagnosed...

pharmaceutical compagny are just making money with some benzodiazepine for neurotransmettor desorder, for exemple serotonine, and noradrenaline.

but they are wrong. cause we have all ( unless some disease in the brain) the physiological potency to solve or depression.

in fact the term depression is a lie.

for what i understood, it's just a desorder, but we ned to improve ourself, our fonction to solve it, without treatment.

who want to have a chemical soul?

I know for myself ive suffered from severe depression,OCD,GAD,Panic Disorders etc for 16 years and have taken every kind of antidepressant known to man to help,they help to an extint,but meds can cure any of it,and what Mrs.P said its up to yourself to decide weather you wanna be happy or not

Its hard on me every single day of my life,i just havet to live 1 hour at a time,not a day at a time but an hour at a time,thats the only way i can deal with it

Ive been really,really close to the darkest side of depression and had to spend several weeks in a mental insitution,it was a humbling experience to say the least,and it didnt cure me,it just taught me a few things to accept the way I am and learn to live with it

To me its a terrible way to live in fear and guilt everyday of my life,but thats the way it is and i just havet to wake up and decide which road i want to travel that day
