This isn’t a tough question to answer, right? However, it is important to be happy with ourselves. Being happy with yourself ensures that you make the world around you happy. Being happy with yourself is the result of finding some value in yourself, being able to respect yourself for who you are and accept the person you are.
I often say, if I can’t be happy with me who else can? Unhappy people complain about everything and everyone, basically because they aren’t happy with who they are. That doesn’t mean happy people don’t complain, but they find ways to work around things.
Being happy with our self doesn’t depend on our achievements, position or possessions. It comes with simple acceptance of who we are. Finding value in the people and things around us, having the ability to enjoy the simple things in life. Just to smile away the worries and not walk around with a perpetual frown.
Start by liking yourself, no one is perfect, you don’t have to be perfect either. Your life doesn’t have to be perfect. Practice gratitude.

Very true words! Accepting ourselves and forgiving ourselves and others is a great way to achieve inner peace and happiness.
When I look at myself in the mirror and the first thoughts that go through my mind are positive, it means that I am satisfied with myself, right?🙂
This was an easy question for me. Yes! Great post, the photo alone made me smile! My face shows ever emotion, you can read me like a book. Luckily I do smile a lot, and it’s good to hear its good for you. 😁😊😃
Good to see you Kim, just a few minutes ago I was wondering where you’ve disappeared. You sound like one who smiles a lot. I am like that as well.
Always good to smile and say “thanks every day”, remembering all the nice things in life you can be grateful for.
However, we all go through stress and some have been through trauma…Healing post traumatic stress takes a lot of love and time…
You are right. those are special conditions. I was focusing on normal life. However, gratitude can help everyone.
William James (Founder of the Harvard School of Psychology) proposed a theory in the 1880s. That if you smile every day even forcing the smile, eventually you would be happier. Freud and others dismissed the theory.
it has been tested many times since the 1970s (because of Freud it was forgotten for 80 years) and honestly, it is true.
Simply smiling can help you move towards happiness.
Fake it till you make it. smiling is an art, not everyone has a face that smiles or eyes that light up when they smile. I basically believe that smiling is a habit anyone can cultivate.
you are on the side of William James then, not Freud!
Nah, I don’t really agree to every thing Freud says. I kind of don’t like his basic assumptions.
good! i prefer William James more because he focused on the possible. Freud was off in the weeds, literally!
Yes, you are absolutely right. We must be happy and find happiness in everything we do. Writing in Virily makes me happy but now it seems Virily has reduced its value.
I hope that has not made you sad. Keep smiling maybe very soon the value of virils will increase. 😀
Yes, you are right and I really think so
It is important and it often means different things for different people
I agree with that, people need to adopt whatever works for them.
I have found that I am happiest when I can do a good writing job and be proud of my work. I was very unhappy while I was not getting some payment and I could not fill up my Copyscape and as a result that made one job, I did not as good. It is important for me to be happy to have everything in my world just right.
It is important to identify what makes us happy and work along those lines. Wishing you the very best.
I made a lot of mistakes from a young age, from which I learned a lot, so now I am quite satisfied with my life and myself, dear Dawn
I am happy for you my friend, Life is all about learning and learning from our mistakes makes us wiser.
Happiness is very important in life. I work on it all the time.
I really feel sad for those who won’t even give it a try.
There is nothing perfect, nothing perfect, nothing eternal. There is a longing and striving for perfect things, for perfect achievements, for love of the grave. These aspirations, this struggle to achieve the ideal goal drives progress. I think so.
If we can accpet taht we are not perfect we can do so much with ourselves.
