Do you know your happy?

[GeraldParticipant 3620]

In another thread, I believe it was Coolbreeze who said this:

“Priceless is the day when you realize anything short of your happiness is simply a waste of your time”

So, I was thinking about this. I have spent the last three months alone, or close to alone… And I have been trying to figure out what makes me happy. Have you figured it out? Do you know what makes you experience joy? How would you figure out.

I remember things I used to like… Golf, travel, hiking, riding bikes, working on the house…

And I will get back to them some day. But I have found that happy can be momentary yet rewarding. A tv show, movie, cookie, nap, or just about anything can help.

I don’t know that this had a real point other than a hope to make you think… What makes you happy (this is rhetorical unless you wish to share)… And are you working towards it?

“There is no way to happiness – happiness is the way.” – Wayne Dyer

Happiness is a choice and a decision you make from day to day and from moment to moment.

The greatest tragedy in life is to spend your whole life fishing only to discover that it was not fish you were after. - Henry David Thoreau

I don’t consider myself a happy person, but I’m generally happier these days than I have been in a long time.

Some things I enjoy:

Working
Watching my savings grow
Watching my credit score grow
Friday drinks with coworkers
Gaming
Cooking
Solitude
Catching up with family and friends

Self-improvement is my religion. Sovereignty is my god.

I oscillate between feelings of happiness and sadness. I have learned to appreciate BOTH. I am feeling a little sad tonight for certain reasons. I do not mind it. The emotions are natural and it means I have a “heart”.

[Secret Agent MGTOWParticipant 22507]

“Happy” is a peak emotion.

“Content” is feeling good as life percolates day by day.

It is extremely hard to be happy all the time. It’s like trying to be high all the time.

Being content – a level good – feeling fine – is worth striving for. You can still have normal highs (happy, small happy) and lows but you accept both are gonna come and you are living your life so that generally the highs (little, big) outnumber the lows, and that the way you live your lows are not going to be devastatingly bad lows.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

I focus on my health, the basics of survival, and not over-exerting myself on grandoise activities like I did in my twenties. This keeps me sound and healthy, which is what I call happiness no matter how I feel. Women and rabid consumers have shown me that over-thinking this question results in unhappiness.

I answered the prior post with the following;

“I always question the “goal” of wanting to be “happy”.

So MANY People just want to be “Happy”.

Well, I think expecting to only experience one emotion throughout life is unrealistic.

Personally, I aim for being “content” which in my book encompasses a full range of human emotions with the overall goal of just being OK for the most part.”

It’s all an state of mind, I have seen happy people in absolute devastation.

happy = not dead
happy = not with a woman
happy = do what I want how I want when I want

[BigDParticipant 3024]

I find happiness in always moving forward and improving myself. The thing I am scared of is when can I stop moving forward and be content?

Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

Happiness is currently occurring as a result of my goal-resolve to be retired and not working in any capacity within 6 years.

I am trying to structure everything towards easily accomplishing this goal.

This was me five years ago… Got my MBA, improved my station at work… I understand this one. But then when the s~~~ hit the fan in my relationship I gave up on it… I need to get back to that drive (but find something without a ton of student debt)

I’m not happy. I’m mostly content.

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

I agree. No one can by happy all the time. I am mostly content and often happy. However, I also don’t believe anyone can be 100% content. There are always things I want to change about myself, my home, my guns, my bike.

One thing is for sure. Happiness and being content are so much easier to achieve without a damn woman living with you. Do I know I’m happy? After over two decades of being miserable living with a woman and 5 and a half years of living alone, you’re damn right I know I’m happy.

The evil in women’s hearts leaves them no moral bounds as to inhibit them from descending to the lowest levels of darkness to acquire their self entitled desires.

[Anonymous 1]

like a few above – I’m content mostly.

Certainly not as down and s~~~ty as I was when the ex was around.

Happy and excited and times, much less often feeling crappy.

I find now when I feel in an irritable mood I can reflect on it and work out why / what it is that triggered it and move on.

As for being sad – the contentment then comes from realising there’s nothing bad about it, its an emotion that is usually genuinely needed.
