Life is indeed ironic. It 's often said 'no pain no gain ' and it so sucks that way. Whoever wants pain? We all crave happiness because it saves us from pain, hurt and worries. But something I also realized and have to Share: You have to enjoy your pain too. In fact, pain, mistakes, hurt also make up the whole package that delivers us that happiness we seek.
Happiness is not excitement that is a bubble: beautiful, capable of flying, but pending when it disappears. Happiness is far more than that. It is about how you turned out. The state of your being. It incorporates in all your dispositions, choices, status, and gives the final result in degrees. It is an overall analysis. And one thing that helps attain this happiness is enjoying, not enduring pain.
I know I still sound silly asking you to enjoy pain. But I have more of your interest at heart than what I said. I wish I could say it differently and still say the truth.
The truth is that we learn from our mistakes, pain, hurts and flaws; and enjoying these things teaches us best. You would never know love until you know hate. You may not know what someone has been doing until the person stops and is not replaced.
Life is not a highway you move and live anyhow. It is a narrow way with twists and turns, puzzles and scares, troubles and pain: that all build us to be the perfect mold of beauty. You would love a down-to-earth honest person because the person has
Happiness is something that most people can’t achieve. It's a feeling that most people can learn. You can’t learn feelings like anger and depression. You can learn the steps that can guide you into happiness through fulfilling desires. Happiness is something that could be simple or complex. Seeing a puppy could make you happy or winning the lottery.
Happiness is something that all people, no matter what race, gender, or social class, strive for. Based on lifestyle or perspective each person has their independent idea of what happiness is, but everyone shares an end goal to live their definition of a happy life. Many people, though, struggle in finding their way to this goal. They face hardships and challenges that test their happiness every day. Happiness, though somewhat indirectly, does take learning and training to discover and maintain.
Amy Poehler once wrote, "Sometimes painful things can teach us lessons that we didn't think we needed to know." In other words perspective is key. We do not like have to adore the painful things in life, but we should respect them for shaping us into the people we are and will be. It’s important to learn to look on the bright side of things.
I support this idea of achieving absolute pleasure from the removal of all pain due to a series of corresponding reasons. The first factor addressed in support of this claim is the tendency of human nature to focus on the negative. This observation will lead to the second supporting idea that these distresses which culminate towards the feeling of pain often block out the feeling of the pleasure desired. This secondary notion results in a comparison between the subsequent uplifting experiences from the removal of pain as opposed to the effect of a simple everyday pleasure on the mind. I
To most people, pain is a nuisance, but to others pain controls their life. The feeling discomforts us in ways that can sometimes seem almost imaginable. These feelings can lead to many different side effects if not dealt with or diagnosed. These effects can include depression, anxiety, and incredible amount of stress. The truth about pain is that it is vital to our existence. Without the nervous system responding to pain, we would have no idea if we were touching a hot stove, being stuck by a porcupine’s needles, or something else that could leave a lasting effect upon our bodies without us even knowing anything about it.
Happiness is one of the most basic things that people strive for in life. Everyone wants to be happy. There are hormones and compound in your body that make you feel happiness. There are also things in some people's life that make people happy that might make someone else sad. No one wants to be sad. There have also been studies done to see the causes of happiness.
Happiness is a key to everybodys life. Even the most depressed man on earth has a little happiness deep down inside. Its what keeps us striving to fulfil our needs and wants on an everyday basis. There is not one kid who does not get excited over a dollar to spend at the candy shop. What about the feeling of getting a promotion at your job, or even finding the cure for cancer. Being happy is not just healthy, but it is also rewarding for each and every individual. We strive to find anything that will turn a bad day to a good one. Individuals will compromise to attain their happiness. You can not get what you want without giving something first.
What is happiness? A feeling or euphoria or a feeling of accomplishment, perhaps both? Is happiness something we can create or something that appears to us when we need it most? I feel that happiness is something that is unique to each person. What fills me with inner joy might not for others and vice versa. Happiness is subjective, but one thing I think everyone will find is that a part of their happiness is found in growing as a person. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone and maybe happiness is found there too! For me, happiness is best achieved when I am growing as a person. Working through obstacles that have come up in my path, expanding my horizons through meeting new people, or learning something new in a class. I have come to see that when I push myself out of my comfort zone (physically or emotionally), this is where I find happiness.
Some people live lives full of joy, happiness, and pleasure, but no one escapes the experience of fear and fear's companion, pain. We are born into lives of awaiting fear and pain. Our lives are profoundly shaped by them, as well as our efforts to avoid them. These emotions are not something that can be turned off and on. Pain and fear seem to always uncontrollable and untouchable.
Happiness is being surrounded by loved ones, having hobbies, and being challenged. Each one of
Instead, happiness is what gives one the ability to get through their current circumstance. People think that in order for someone to be considered happy, one has to be pleased by their circumstance. However, we must realize that pleasure is
Don't get me wrong, at times I have a hate for the pain I have and what I go through also. But, without it I would not be the person I am today. I woud not be sitting in this classroom as a nursing major. Therefore, I am greatful because pain has changed me for the better. There is nowhere in life I rather be than where I am right
Happiness is a result that we deserved, furthermore, it becomes a motivation for us to keep trying and getting success in life.
Happiness is one of the most misunderstood words in our vocabulary. Happiness can have a different meaning for everyone. Some people say it is when you are remembering good times or that your life would be meaningless without it. Some people may say it is when you feel satisfied and fulfilled, that it is a feeling of contentment, and that life is as it should be. Perfect happiness comes when you have all of your needs satisfied.
Happiness is an internal feeling of the pleasure and joyful that comes from a thing that the person loves. All people want to feel happy and many of them seek for things that make them happy. However, there are two different opinions about how happiness comes. Many people find that it is choice that people can choose. On the other hand, some people think that happiness is a thing which people cannot control. Therefore, it is argued that because the contentment, the thoughts and the actions are things that the person can control and can bring to him the happiness.
