Happiness how to sustain it and be it?

[Anonymous]

Is happiness a choice? or plainly an uncontrolled feeling that most of us must seek endlessly? If its controlable and possible to be happy why aren't we all? we suffer a great deal and search for happiness which usually is just a brief moment than fades again and comes in moments but how do we sustain it?

I think the keys to happiness are:

• Find something to be passionate about. Be it a hobby, travel, or sport
• Practice gratitude daily. Not only for what you have but express it to others who are important to you
• Give of yourself in service to others. Charity or volunteering

What if your naturally depressed

"Naturally depressed" is nonsense perpetrated by pharmaceutical companies.

I think i am depressed and can't be happy

[joeldalton]

You're choosing to not be happy. Do those things I listed, along with eating well, getting 10 minutes of sunshine a day on as much skin as possible, exercising, sleeping 8 hours a night, and make your bed every morning, limit internet and social media use. Do that for me for the next 6 weeks, then come back and see if you're still as "depressed"

Lol lookslike something from the bible

by the way i am trying to become a poet

[Asker]

Do you think i can be?

[Guy13]

Blessed in Hebrew/Greek Bible world can be said as Happy in English. Look up Sermon on the Mount and Beattitudes and replace Blessed with Happy and get back to me...

Some say the world will end in Fire, some say Ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire, But if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate, To know that for destruction ice is also great, And would suffice.

What do you think... capable or poetry?
