"how to have a HAPPY life"?

You make a very valid point.  I'm a Humanist, and I think happiness is extremely important, but a good life is not just one filled with pleasurable indulgences.  It is important to live a moral life, and sometimes we have to do things that aren't fun and don't give us immediate pleasure, but they are the right thing to do in the long run and will help to secure our freedoms and make a better life possible for us, our loved ones, and others.  You call this moral motivation righteousness.  We shy away from that term because of its religious connotations.  Instead we call it living a moral, useful, meaningful, responsible, and fulfilling life.  In short, a good life.

To be happy and healthy

Everyone just wants to be happy.  Set your mood every morning when you wake up.  Every day, you can choose to wake up and say 'this will be the best day of my life', or it can be the same old, same old.  We make life what we want it to be.  \n\nI believe that we control our own mood and how we react to things.  If things don't go your way, you can sit and brood for an hour or two, or you can move on and be glad that it's over.  \n\nIf I get angry, it's usually only for a short period of time.  Life is too short to always be mad at something or someone.  You just have to teach yourself not to worry or care too much about things that are out of your control.  It takes time, so be patient.

you should be a happy person yourself. But make sure that you know the limitations of having fun and being a good discipler. You can never be successfull and not a boring if you think that there is always a good and bad. there can only be limitations and not wrong and right.

Your answer was within your question. "How can *I* become more happy." To be happy with the world around you, you must first be happy with who you are.  If you are not happy with yourself then do what is necessary to become happy with you.  For me that meant not trying to be something or someone I wasn't. Not trying to fit in. I had to be Just Me. Sometimes that is the hardest thing in the world to be. Not everyone will like you, but everyone will respect you because you will always be the same.  Good, Bad, or Indifferent.

1. Breathe. Yes! It's that simple. Breathe deeply, but don't hyperventilate. Inhale as though you were sniffing a delightful scent. Then stre-e-e-tch your arms high over your head as you slowly and completely exhale.\n\n2. Set boundaries. Just like the stressed-out mom who sat in the playpen to keep away from the children, you can erect some barriers. Decide what you will do — and when. Better still, decide what you won't do and dare to say "no." Try to avoid anything, and anyone, who wastes your time.\n\n3. Clarify your goals. Decide exactly what needs to be done, and plan a smart way of accomplishing each task. Oh, and give yourself a pat on the back every time you achieve even one of your goals, no matter how small.\n\n4. Put yourself first. That's right! If you aren't functioning at your peak, your work and your relationships will suffer. Find time for yourself, and try to do at least one relaxing thing each day: Take a bubble bath, or read a chapter of a favourite book.\n\n5. Give yourself a break. It's okay to goof off, cancel a lunch date, or miss a deadline now and then. In six months or 10 years, who will remember?\n\n6. Get spiritual. Get in touch with your spiritual values, and align your plans and activities with them. For instance, read an inspiring book, then figure out how to incorporate what you learned into your day-to-day life.\n\n7. Take five. Right now stop what you are doing to cherish the moment. Savour whatever you're drinking or eating. Or go outside and smell the air, the flowers and the trees. Feel the wind, sunshine or rain on your face. Listen for tiny sounds. Take a moment every day to marvel at the wonders all around you.

- Believe there is no bad life for everyone\n- Understand there is no peaceful life for everyone.\n- If you had struggles at one stage, its nature to gain love and peace in another stage.\n- Do you think its possible to make the negative things as possitive signs.\n- Please remember there are thousands of children even born with knowing their dad, mum or any other relations.\n- Do you believe in GOD.\n- Do you believe in your knowledge and strength.\n- Did you read the great achievers biography and how they have struggled and won.\n- Somebody makes their entire life horrible because they dont belive their own knowledge, strength and potential.\n- Good or bad, anything is depends how they look for themselves.\n- If you think there is a way then you can strive to go through... you will be successful.\n- If you think there is no way and you are dieng and almost died then you are dead.\n- Its not the matter where you are coming from but think and plan where you want to go, how to reach despite the difficulties you face at present.\n- Think you have life, knowledge, power, attitude and will.\n- Wish you all the best for your successful future.

The hardest thing in the whole wide world, is being 2 and then ending up 1. There is no set rule how to be happy during this separation time. But there are steps to making it easier. First off, don't ever give up hope! Go out with your friends and do things that make you feel good. Never isolate yourself, always have a game plan for tomorrow. Keep you mind busy and when you catch yourself thinking and feeling lonely, tell yourself you have control over this part of your life. Then do something. Call someone, go to the mall, visit a friend, just don't set idol. In time this will become a routine, and before you know you are moving a head in your life and good things are happening. And you have yourself to "thank" for this!

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. -Hugh Downs \n\nHappiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. -Ralph Waldo Emerson\n\nIf you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.\nIf you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.\nIf you find serenity and happiness, they may be envious. Be happy anyway.\nIf you do good today, people will often forget it tomorrow. Do good anyway.\nGive the world the best you have, and it may not be enough. Give the world the best you have got anyway.\nYou see, in the end it is between you and God, never between you and them anyway. \nMother Theresa   \n\nLove is not the place to find happiness.  Learn to be happy with yourself, and you will find happiness anywhere.  You will even be able to share it with someone you love.  \n\nAnd if you are happy with yourself, you will be better able to receive love and enjoy it more fully.\n\nWe often get caught up in struggles with someone else when what we need most is to make peace with God and within ourselves.  \n\nIf you find that you are unhappy with you, that's actually good news.  You then know where to start turning things around, and it's something you can do.  That's empowering.\n\nForgiveness is usually the place to start.  What haven't you forgiven others for?  What haven't you forgiven yourself for?  Forgiveness is the only thing that will set you free so that you can move forward.\n\nForgiveness is not saying it's okay that someone did something or that something happened.  It's releasing someone from the debt of making it up to you.  In the end, they really can't.  There is no making it up.  What we want is for the deed to be undone - and it can't be.  When you can accept that it can't be undone and you find peace with that, you can move on, unhindered by the grief that unforgiveness brings.\n\nWhatever hurts others have caused you, let it go.  Whatever expectations you had that didn't get met, let them go.  Learn to be happy with who you are and all the other disappointments in life will not be so hard to bear.\n\nWishing you much peace, happiness, and love...
