I respectfully disagree with you. The key to happiness is to seek it out. If you are afraid of disappointment then you're in for a dull, lackluster life. |

I actually try not to keep a positive attitude. I'm not emo or anything like that, but as I see it if you're constantly striving for the best then you're going to be disappointed regularly. Also, I never had any talents and used to get seriously depressed over the fact that I really couldn't be much worse at absolutely everything I've ever tried to be good at than I already am. So I try to keep a state of mind that says, "F**k it, you'll fail anyway so what's the point trying?". Again, I want to make it clear that I'm NOT emo - just really really really laid back. To the point that I just don't care about anything and never get stressed out. |

You actually kind of just made me re-think my whole outlook on...well, everything. I never really take anything in my life seriously at all. Maybe if I take your advice I can actually make something of myself and be a lot more happy. I don't know if I can exactly make it happen overnight though - the whole laid back I don't give a f**k thing has woven itself into my personality. It's actually how poeple see me - the guy who just doesn't care. |

Well... I pretty much just live from day to day... If you have a bad day, then maybe the next day will better... |

The thing I do is that I look into my happy box, I've put a bunch of stuff in there that remind of my friends or simply cheer me up. Also a great help was Anne Frank's diary, amazing book; all of us have something to learn from that girl. Me, I always use a "prayer" she mentioned: "Thank you God for all that is good and dear and beautiful.". Whenever I say it, I think of a few things in ecah "category"; a bit silly, but works for me. |
