Until the current part of my life things have usually been pretty smooth sailing. Now things are comfortable and pleasant for me. I'm in a good place and maybe there is a reason to it all...
Usually I'm a relatively laid back sort of person who goes with the flow. What's the point of fighting against life and everything else around me. Sure, I get my disgruntled states of mind, but I typically don't let that drag me down into a hopeless mire of pity and negativity. Generally I'm a content person who tries not to complain to the point of irritation to others. Don't ask my wife--just trust me.
Others have better lives than mine I suppose. I know others have more stuff, more opportunities, more advantages, or more of whatever happy successful people are expected to have. But are they all happy? It all comes down to outlook. Attitude. Expectations. We are what we think for the most part. At least that's how I see it.
Compared to others, I might not seem to have much, but I've got what I need to survive. Give me more. Sure, I'll take it. I'll also try to accept what I do have and whatever might come my way. I utterly understand upsides but sometimes I can't seem to accept it. Sometimes I want to be disgruntled and stay unhappy.
No, not a good idea. Happiness is good for the health of body, mind, and soul. We must choose happiness. I utterly understand upsides.
Do you try to maintain a happy facade even if you are down? Do you prefer to have others commiserate with you in your down times? What do you do to lift your spirits in your low moments?
I usually won't bother others with my troubles since everyone's got their own. But music most always soothes me.
