You can’t be unhappy when you live for yourself.

If you are unhappy then you are not living for yourself.

Find out why you are not living for yourself and start living for yourself.

You will become happy.

Problem solved.

You are welcome.

I couldn’t agree more. Start there. It’s an easy yet powerful read.

Oh, and buy the actual book made from paper. Read with a highlighter or pen in hand. Enjoy.

Good luck.

It makes sense.

It’s hard for me. I have little family left. I have desire to be with girls when I am around them, but no desire to be with them when I’m alone. I have also been physically disabled since the age of 18 and I am now 30. Then to have huge blowouts with basically everyone in your life at one time or another. Clearly I am the problem since I don’t get along with anyone. I mean, I do get along with everyone because I put on a smile, am polite and friendly. Long time friends simply hating Trump so much dropped me. Especially when I said that I don’t like Hillary and even showed articles why. Those friends all rejected me, because I want to protect them…

If long time friends who know that I am no threat to them or the world, they can’t get along with me… a white male. All because I don’t like Hillary or because I like Trump. How are they going to get along with “refugees” who believe in a religion that men are above women and gays should be killed?

I just see no point in living unless we can focus on America and fix it first. Then when America is stable look to help the world. Certainly don’t bring in a bunch of 3rd world cult members who hate our freedom and hate us in general for being infidels.

Free speech should last forever. Islam should forever be banned. And I wish my mom didn’t die. I wish my “friends” weren’t so stupid. My family is just as stupid. My mom died in 2013 and my life has been a train wreck since. I take that back… f’ing up my back in a car wreck duringfreshman year of college was the real beginning of the train wreck that is my wonderful life.

Eh… I’ve read and watched documentaries about the Dalai Lama being rich while his people are poor. Dalai Lama to me is more like David Miscavige or Al Sharpton. As Johnny Manziel would say, “cash money”.

Our ancestors didn’t have the luxury, tech nor the scientific inclination we have now and their living conditions were far worse than ours yet they kept moving ahead in life regardless if they were happy or not. You didn’t give a clear enough reason why you’re unhappy in the first place. It just sounds like mood swings to me.

Definitely mood swings. But possibly caused by things that have happened in my life. I was basically a C student because I didn’t try, though I’ve become a lot smarter over the years. I had a great upbringing until I was 18. I got in a wreck that left me without feeling below the waist. After that, I couldn’t run. I started drinking. I was in multiple serious relationships afterwards. Lived in an apartment with my girlfriend when I was 21. She cheated on me and ditched me like trash after 2 years. Next girlfriend of 4 years went of to college a few hours away. After almost 4 years, cheated on me and broke up long distance. Then my grandma died in 2013. My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2013. I was home to care for our dog of 16 years while my dad was with my mom in the hospital and my dog passed away from old age, so I got to find her when I went to feed her. I started dating a girl I had known the day I found out my mom had cancer. She helped get me through a lot. 6 months after finding out my my mom had cancer, she passed away. My dad, brother and I stayed with her for a few days in hospice and I held her hand as she passed away. After that, my dad took off leaving our family home to be foreclosed on. My old (only)brother has mental issues like ocd and some other things. He lived at home with my parents his whole life and was 31. I took him in with me and he is ungrateful, says awful things about me and so on. Basically, I just don’t know what the freaking point is.

Do you have any hobbies or other things you like to do.Places you like to go.Video games you like to play.

Every one has something they are good at.

If you are fealing really bad take frequent showers if you don’t feal up to things you would normally enjoy.

The lunatics are running the asylum, my objective is to preserve my sanity and try to enjoy the ride. Hobbies help, and focus on self preservation with a little bit of a bender every now and again.

Set a goal, make a plan and start working towards it. We’ve all been down the road you’re on and that’s what worked for me to get out of that thought pattern.

Reading over your struggles is what a lot of us went through. The hardships, challenges, and difficulties of life. Nobody said it was going to be easy or a breeze and quite frankly it never will be. It seems like you’re going through some serious trauma in your life either from your past or handicap but you’ve lasted this long man. You’re a fighter whether you believe it or not. How often do you feel this way anyway? Have you considered picking up some hobbies or anything else to get you going?

I know you can’t run but you can still be active by simply walking which does wonders as Tesla even noted. Try to focus on the future goals and plan of your life and how you will spread that over the years to come. Don’t stay home all day thinking that’s more hazardous to your mental health than anything else!

You’ve lasted this long and got by I know you’re tougher than that there’s no need to have thoughts of sadness overtake you when it comes and goes and at best becomes more of a burden.

We’ve all been there before. The world is F~~~ED and it’s a f~~~ed place to live. What you need to do is live your life for YOU. Set a goal and work towards it. Don’t let other people’s expectations of you affect your life. If your life is s~~~, then CHANGE IT. It’s up to YOU. Nobody else is going to change it for you.

Don’t take life too seriously, you’re better off laughing at how absurd everything is and getting on with what you need to do.

If we all gave up because we’re unhappy then none of us would be here by now. Life is no joke and to be brought into this world means you have to go through the same BS as everyone else. But not everything is black and white. The beauty of this world is out there for you to explore, both inner and outer.

I’ve been unhappy for many, many years. I’ve had very few happy days for most of my adult life. So why don’t I give up on life? I have gained so much knowledge from my experiences that I don’t want to. I don’t have the kind of life that anyone would envy. My achievements are few. But I want to make a statement with the 2nd half of my life. I want to say to the world that something good can be created out of a mediocre life such as mine.

There’s something about life, in general, that inspires me. I’ve read some self-help books during my life because I feel like I’m lacking something—drive, charisma, intelligence, or whatever the hell people have to succeed at their goals. Anyway, one important thing I’ve learned from a book called Psycho-cybernetics is: Your family background, your reputation, your pedigree, your old neighborhood, your past performance, etc., doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. It’s what you DO that’s important. What you do with your time, your mind, and the opportunities that are available to you will determine the quality of your life. It’s very easy to be emotionally overwhelmed by the daily stress of the world we’re living in. I’ve felt that way. In spite of this, I can smile at people because I know that the essence of my soul is bigger than this world. And I believe I will rise above whatever kind of chaos comes my way.

There’s people in this world with $1,000,000 in their bank accounts who feel miserable for some reason. I don’t know why that is. Personally, I’d get some happiness from using that money to change someone else’s life for the better (examples: giving some land, a cow, and farming tools to an impoverished family so they can be self-sufficient or providing a college grant to a high school student). Your own particular motivation to get to a place where you’ll be happy can be more powerful than the circumstances that surround you. Watch the movie, “The Pursuit of Happyness” and you’ll see what I mean. This life you have is a special gift. It is a span of time that can be used for your development so you can aid in the progress of mankind. Why not use it to show us something amazing?

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)
