pratice contentment and you will be happyOriginally posted by the Bear:isn't being a happy person a difficult goal enough?

Alot of people planned and work so hard for the future that they forgotten to live for today, until at their deathbed, then they realised they have not lived at all.
You have to identify what things that makes u happy, those simple things and achievable types, ie for me is good books, fun puter games, occassional beer/wine, etc etc, even a sunny day with good breeze makes me very happy.
In other words, why put yourself under undue pressures to achieve the difficults, while there'r tiniest things whicn bring joy and peace in your life without much effort.
So chill out and relax k, life is too short to warranty long worries. -
Ok, then what you need are more hobbies after work.Originally posted by alvin74:I believe even you have more work than you could manage, when you settle down after your daily bath every night, you would be thinking...
Man, what's all this routine about huh?
day-in day-out, repeating the same actions, isn't it mundane?
Is it mundane enough for you to think about it?

The 2 of you really KNS ok
*presses laugh button*
Seriously, think about what will make you happy and then go do it. The answer is really that simple. But putting it into action is easier said than done. I think most people will struggle from time to time, I know I do. -
Seriously...
Other than knowing what you want and what's important to you, don't measure your life by other people's yardstick.

Well, for me... I haven't reached 30 yet but have been working in the same industry for 9 years. However, I have no idea whether is this the job or area that I am happy doing it for the rest of my life.
Right now, I am taking a break to think as in what I want in my life and my career pathway. If I decided that I am going to stick to what I am doing, then, I will advance myself in this field. If I decided that I no longer wants to be in this field, then, I will explore other options.
Cheers. -

Re: entering your mid-30s. Embrace it. It's the best decade of your life. At least mine was. It's when you're on the cusp of turning 40 that you should be afraid. -

Simple concepts of life are the hardest thing. Such as loving oneself, being compassionate, being happy. We have become such complicated creatures. I wanted to deny the 30s but it slapped me across the face. I wanted to achieve something and I strife and strife and I just seem to slide backwards.... Now all I want is some peace and smooth path ahead, having seen the terrible things people do just to get ahead. -
oh boy, juz hearing the "40" word already send shiver down my spine..Originally posted by jetta:Alvin:
