Why Am I Not Happy? How Can I Start Living Life And Being Happy?

We are very much alike. I feel that I’m very smart and i do really well in school. I am an engineering student and i understand very complex subject fairly easily. However, I am a very angry person. I think that it’s just part of human nature. We reach one point and we always want MORE. We can never be completely happy. Human beings learn to become spoiled. You just have to dig deep and find that happiness you used to have and pull it out. I’m still working on it.

Happiness is doing what you love. No it doesn’t have to be a job. It could be hanging out with friends, watching a movie, playing a game, whatever it may be. Whatever fills the void we all feel from time to time. Ask yourself what you love, and then stalk it! Stalk like you never stalked before!

1. Don’t let circumstances get you down.
At the beginning of each day, determine that you
are not going to get “under the circumstances.”
Circumstances are like a bulldozer out of control.
They can flatten you. If you can’t change negative
situations, don’t let them change you.
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me”
(Phil. 4:13).
2. Evict resentment from your life.
Resentment can take over your mind and heart, affect
your nervous system, and cripple your ability to live at
your best.
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is
just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is
commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is
anything worthy of praise, think about these things”
(Phil. 4:8).
3. Remember you are a child of God.
Affirm this fact several times a day: “I am a child of
God. Today I will act like God’s child, talk like God’s
child, live like God’s child, give like God’s child.”
God has blessings for you that are beyond measure.
4. Accomplish something positive each day.
Decide that before the day ends you will accomplish
at least one thing that is positive. Let it be centered in
Christian love and let it be for someone else, not for your
own profit or as a favor you expect to have returned.
5. Bring your best to each day.
Start each day with this prayer in your heart: “Today
I give my best. Dear God, give me this day what you
know I will need.”
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the
mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual
worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you
may discern what is the will of God—what is good and
acceptable and perfect” (Rom. 12:1-2).
6. Keep a prayer list.
Develop a prayer list and keep it up to date. Across the
top write “Personal Checklist.” Confess sins, get rid of
grudges, surrender jealousy, ask God to help you in every
possible way. Thank God for the forgiveness you have
received and the power that is yours. Then, pray for
those you love, those with whom you work, those you
don’t like, and those who have asked to be remembered.
7. Be a true friend.
Speak to your co-workers, expressing love, concern,
and appreciation. Avoid gossip about others. This
drains your energies. Use your energy to do the very
best you can on your job.
“To watch over mouth and tongue is to keep out of
trouble” (Prov. 21:23).
8. Surprise someone with friendliness.
Contact someone within your family circle or perhaps
a friend . . . by letter, phone, email, or visit. Speak to
someone you may not know. Express genuine care.
“Let your light shine before others, so that they may
see your good works, and give glory to your Father in
heaven” (Matt. 5:16).
9. Study your areas of weakness.
Don’t focus on your weaknesses all the time. Be aware
of them, work on strengthening them, but do not let
them become an obsession in your thinking.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect
in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9).
10. You can do it with God’s help.
Begin now to believe that you can live at your best —
the kind of life God wills for you. Pray, act, talk, work,
and know that God cares about you and what you do
with your life. God has given the power to overcome,
to live the abundant life that Christ reveals.
“Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power”
(Eph. 6:10).
