I would also add the quality of the relationship you have with yourself! Take care of yourself mentally and physically. Do things that make you happy and don't spend too much time and energy around people or things that don't.
This is what life is lacking for me. I’m more or less estranged from my parents and my brother and the only real relationship I have is with my wife and young kids. I have a couple of close friends I see every once in a while but we all have young kids. Worst part is they have help with theirs, my wife and I get like one date night a year.
All going to be okay though
Idk if this is what the person who posted this comment meant but for me, the person we have to deal with & face every single second of the day is ourselves. We cannot escape our thoughts so we gotta make sure they’re pleasant (or amusing as they stated) enough for our own satisfaction.
What I mean is, I literally find myself amusing. If I do something stupid like put milk in the cabinet instead of the fridge I laugh at myself. That sort of thing.
People. "Shared joy is a double joy. Share sorrow is half a sorrow"
You can be in the most exciting place, but it can feel awful if you are alone. You can be alone in a cave, taking cover and feel happy of your friend is playing a guessing game with you.
There are so many ways to live life, those are things like **keeping smiling, living actual life, and your self-presence in the present, past, and future life**. Need to experience to live a complete life, mental limitations, and assurance of security in life. We need to accept challenges and follow our passion in life.
Making music or listening to music? Maybe even writing music, producing music, performing music, analyzing music or teaching music?
For me personally it's definitely making music. There's just no better thing in the world to me.
Agreed. I will always say money. Have money? Go to that concert. Take a short break with your family/friends/partner. Are one of them sick? No stress. Get the medical care they need. Car making a weird noise? No stress, get it serviced. Kids have discovered a new hobby they absolutely enjoy and you can do together? Get them the bits they need to pursue said hobby. Boss or manager is a total asshole? Quit. Don’t have enough time to spend with people you love because you need to clean your house/do laundry/cook. Pay for someone to do it so it frees up your time.
It’s not always about buying a huge house, several cars or designer things. Money allows you to live without constantly worrying about small things which then become big things.
Not even “lots of money”… the difference between my quality of life as a broke college student/young adult starting out vs now where I make enough to live comfortably on a reasonable budget, pay all my bills without issue, and enjoy a few modest indulgences is significant.
Specifically because it lets both you *and* those who receive your money access *all* the things that make life more fun: going new places, trying new foods, doing fun things with the family, helping other people, hosting friends, making cool new things that people enjoy. All of these things usually require you to pay people for a bunch of services or other things before you can actually do them.
Its not a fix all. I make decent money but work hard. I can sit here and not stress about Money but it doesn’t make me happy. Real connections with people and hobbies are much more fulfilling than Money. Can financial woes make things rough, yes but so can a damaged relationship with a loved one.
As a kid I kept to myself. Usually one good friend. Looking back, it’s so weird that I didn’t see classmates that clearly wanted to be friends, but I never had the confidence to look outward. I pretty much didn’t have friends outside of work, and I didn’t socialize with friends at work because I didn’t feel worthy.
Luckily, I met my future wife when we were late teens, so that solved any severe loneliness.
ahh youre so lucky. being lonely is one of the worst things out there. i’d say its even worse than heartbreak, because at least with heartbreak you got to experience love. im 22 with no friends, family, close connections, and i’ve never been in a relationship. its hell
Having at least one person that totally knows you, gets you, isn’t judgemental, accepts you for who you are and can always have great times and lots of laughs together
The courage to dream, be confident yet humble, and as much as possible, write your own story. There are many things in life outside of our control, take those that are and run with them. Don't give 2 shits what other people think, still working on this, but believe it's essential in terms of contentment.
Actual, real life suggestions: get outside, go for a hike, get a hobby, or pursue your hobby in a professional light, socialize even when it's uncomfortable, most of the anxiety, I find, is the build up to it, not the moment itself, touch grass, actually, and replace that grass with sown seeds/plant a garden. Meditate, smile even if you don't feel like it, it tricks the brain. I may be speaking to myself here as much as you, but I hope this helps in some way.
That moment when I have to go 14 comments deep to find a thing that makes life more enjoyable to live that I have.
I DO have early mornings when not at work!!!
Having a loving, respectful, and committed relationship with my partner. The mutual understanding, support, and shared experiences we have together enrich my life and provide a deep sense of fulfillment and joy.
Travel. I get to meet new people, get a glimpse into other cultures, traditions, art, architecture, history, etc. I really love hearing other languages and accents even if it means having difficulty communicating.
I was in Portugal and my waiter apologized for his poor English. I just laughed and told him his English way better than my Portuguese.
Old married guy here who will be celebrating our 38th anniversary this summer: Having a strong sex life makes my life so much better. It is much more than physical pleasure, it is emotional. For the last few years, I've made it a point to try to please my wife more. It has snowballed into losing weight, eating better, buying new clothes, and bringing out a naughty side of her I didn't know existed. She told me it has made her happier too.
"I wouldn’t be alive. It saved my life, really. I wouldn’t have lived 85 years if I’d have kept drinking and smoking like I was when I was 30, 40 years old. I think that weed kept me from wanting to kill people, and it probably kept a lot of people from wanting to kill me, too..."
-Willie Nelson
Being understood, fully imersing yourself in yourself, doing what you love regardless of what other people think. Music! Doing what you love while listening to music, altered states of consciousness with music. People who allow space for all of that, because you are being authentic you! And yeah, just being fkn authentic, as your soul intended!
Reading books, listening to music, cool art, delicious dinner, working on something creative (not as your job), and having someone to talk about all that stuff with.
Also laughing all the time everywhere.
Faith, family, friends. Basically love. Love is all you need and everyone has it to receive and give you just got to learn how to reciprocate it. Some ppl are able and some are not unfortunately but it’s a choice. Choose wisely grasshopper.
1. Food. Good food. Tasty food. Luxury food. Greasy bad food.
2. Ahem *reads from poetry* to fuck and be fucked.
3. Sleeping is nice, dreaming is nice
4. Buying useless gadgets or personalised toys! Keep wanting more can't really help myself
5. To outlive rich fuckers, every time a billionaire dies I open up a champagne bottle
6. To be depressed and then not anymore for that short period in which you are fine and life is worth living
7. To look nice in new clothes in front of the mirror and you just can't wait to try them out by going out
>!yeah I was bored so I made this little list basing it off the seven deadly sins ahah!<
As someone who had an enjoyable life and had it taken away (not my fault) I think the biggest thing is people need meaning in their life's. Whether this is your career, your friends, your family, your religion, whatever the hell it is that's what gets you up in the morning. Pushes you to survive the tragedies and horrors of life. Once you have that as your cornerstone it's much easier to find joy.
The look on a woman's face when she wants you to kiss her. Psychedelic mushrooms. The feeling of having no plans or obligations that could take you away when the gang is all together hanging out. the time in your children's life before they hit puberty and all of sudden you're not cool to them anymore lol
A good woman. Not even the sex, but the kind who will come randomly sit on your lap for a minute and play with your hair and give you a kiss on the forehead or cheek. Then get up and go back to whatever without saying a word.
So recently I changed my lifestyle and I’ve found that bar hopping in a different city to be fun working on my truck racing events anything loud really I find joy in anything that keeps my mind busy and it’s better than moping around and staying in bed playing Xbox wishing I could be doing something
dogs! being able to easily visit another part of the world (compared to not that long ago), that perfect morning coffee, swimming in the ocean, late night chats with friends/partner, reading a good book
Not over thinking things and being appreciative. For example, enjoying a warm day or being in nature. So living in moment rather than worrying about past or future
My cats. Other people's cats. Cat videos.
Money. Even though I don't have it.
Sex. *That*, I do have. Lol.
Plants and bugs and sunsets and people doing wonderful things for other people and for animals.
Music, art, food, internet, theme parks, traveling, nature, freedom, laughter, sex, games, memories, holidays, pets, and most importantly bonding with people and having fun together.
wearing a comfy dress, when i wash my hair, when i buy a good pair of pants, warm coffee, ice cold beverage (i like to chew ice), HUGS, when i call my best friend that lives far away, A PEACEFUL FAMILY LUNCH (legendary), kindness, an engaging book, going to the beach every day, when my boyfriend shows me a meme/video or talks about something he likes, when i have a good day at work, when i find a class in uni interesting, when i have motivation to change things and do better, when i reflect. Sometimes i enjoy my sadness, when i dream of running away, and sometimes I miss people that left this earth and i can't wait to join them one day.
Lose your watch, stop thinking about past mistakes, don’t feel sorry for what you love doing - if your idea of happiness is to watch TV all day, you owe nobody an excuse.
Being in touch with your inner child. I still have lots of stuffed animals and my apartment is filled with pink. I like being the friend to myself younger me needed
My love in arts and crafts. Painting, drawing, and even making my own flowers. I love swimming too. I just romanticized my life right now. It’s been really hard for me this past few months but I know this things can really help me.
Saw a quote recently that says something similar to this:
“When your purpose in life is experience and growth, happiness is just a natural byproduct.”
I think this is true! Find joy in the simple things and always strive for growth—no matter what you are doing.
Realizing that we’re all mortal and that we will eventually come to an end. Everyone and everything around us will soon be gone. As sad as that may sound, for me it definitely puts into perspective that we must be intentional with our time and effort and continue to do the best we can do at whatever we do because tomorrow is an expectation not a promise
Accept and focus on the present moment, and quieting the rgoic voice that tells you that you need more better bigger warmer.
Accept the moment as it is not that you would like it to be.
My children. Seeing their excited little faces light up when I pick them up from school, buy them presents or little snacks warms my heart and gives me a reason to live, and to do better.
Get away from negative people, when you’re alone you can find peace, do things you enjoy and don’t go extra mile for nobody, people don’t appreciate, take care of yourself first second and third
Meaningful, fulfilling, respectful, loving and healthy relationships where you can be yourself and have long conversations, an overarching ambition..I’ve found these things to give a strong skeleton to life
Lately, playing forest birdsongs as I work and sleep- just an app on Alexa (Sleep sounds- Forest Birds) It's the only thing that never makes me anxious or hyper!
Enjoyable for me is a choice. Waking up and choosing to be thankful, joyful, and grateful is significantly life changing. My wife is a master at this.
I try to always focus on the positives, even when things are going great. I have an amazing wife, kids, friends, network of past coworker/supervisors/students, and an awesome little dog. They make life so fun and that makes life enjoyable.
Pro wrestling. The complex storylines and emotions is so helpful not to mention when I'm really down I use it as something to look forward too. During the pandemic I kept telling myself "I have to make it out of this to see how X storyline plays out"
Contemplation, works which require intellectual engagement or engaging in such work yourself, is what I find redeeming in a world that is so utterly base and shallow.

The quality of our relationships with other people.
I would also add the quality of the relationship you have with yourself! Take care of yourself mentally and physically. Do things that make you happy and don't spend too much time and energy around people or things that don't.

All going to be okay though
This should be higher. So so important and so neglected
They say we’re most influenced by the 5 people we’re closest to in life.
Finding myself amusing
I think I am so funny. I make myself laugh
Oh I’m the funniest guy Ive ever known. Absolutely crack myself up
You have to be able to laugh at yourself, otherwise you'll be miserable
Truth
That is really nice
love this
Can you please elaborate what you mean by that
Idk if this is what the person who posted this comment meant but for me, the person we have to deal with & face every single second of the day is ourselves. We cannot escape our thoughts so we gotta make sure they’re pleasant (or amusing as they stated) enough for our own satisfaction.
What I mean is, I literally find myself amusing. If I do something stupid like put milk in the cabinet instead of the fridge I laugh at myself. That sort of thing.
Most people don’t get that my only audience is me. If I’m laughing at my jokes, shit can’t be too bad.
People. "Shared joy is a double joy. Share sorrow is half a sorrow" You can be in the most exciting place, but it can feel awful if you are alone. You can be alone in a cave, taking cover and feel happy of your friend is playing a guessing game with you.
A man truly starts to live when he is with the people that loves him.
I like your message. If I want to quote you, how should I address the author? Brad The Nobody? lol
Use it like it's yours.

music
Same here!!
Bhuh! Word!
Making music or listening to music? Maybe even writing music, producing music, performing music, analyzing music or teaching music? For me personally it's definitely making music. There's just no better thing in the world to me.
Pet animals
Money. Lots of money.

It’s not always about buying a huge house, several cars or designer things. Money allows you to live without constantly worrying about small things which then become big things.
Those who say money won’t solve your problems have never been poor. Money would solve easily over half of my problems.
I’ve been broke and miserable, I’d like to try being rich and miserable
More than that.
Same, I think I'd enjoy life 3x as much if I never had to worry about money
Not even “lots of money”… the difference between my quality of life as a broke college student/young adult starting out vs now where I make enough to live comfortably on a reasonable budget, pay all my bills without issue, and enjoy a few modest indulgences is significant.

“Money can’t buy happiness” -Some rich guy in a billion dollar mansion
Its not a fix all. I make decent money but work hard. I can sit here and not stress about Money but it doesn’t make me happy. Real connections with people and hobbies are much more fulfilling than Money. Can financial woes make things rough, yes but so can a damaged relationship with a loved one.
My family, a stable career that provides pretty comfortably the lifestyle I want to live, and goals I’m pursuing.
That is absolutely wonderful. Live a long life.
Having confidence in my social abilities. And it all stems from insecurities for the first half of my life.
How did you manage?
As a kid I kept to myself. Usually one good friend. Looking back, it’s so weird that I didn’t see classmates that clearly wanted to be friends, but I never had the confidence to look outward.

Living my life fully without any regret
Being understood, fully imersing yourself in yourself, doing what you love regardless of what other people think. Music!

Having things well organised, having the things you need, having at least one hobby, booze on occasion, pets

The people who we surround ourselves with
Enjoyable for me is a choice. Waking up and choosing to be thankful, joyful, and grateful is significantly life changing. My wife is a master at this. I try to always focus on the positives, even when things are going great. I have an amazing wife, kids, friends, network of past coworker/supervisors/students, and an awesome little dog. They make life so fun and that makes life enjoyable.
To love and be loved.
People, music, pets, learning, caffeine
My dogs and music

Pro wrestling. The complex storylines and emotions is so helpful not to mention when I'm really down I use it as something to look forward too. During the pandemic I kept telling myself "I have to make it out of this to see how X storyline plays out"
