Are you happy with life?

Galaxy · 10-25-2005, 01:45 AM

A somewhat off-topic discussion, I figured why not:

Are you happy with your life? Anything you glad you did or didn't do? What is the best decision you made? Any advice for the younger generation?

DaddyTorgo · 10-25-2005, 01:57 AM

make this a poll

SackAttack · 10-25-2005, 02:00 AM

I AM the younger generation, dammit.

Being happy is a choice, not the result of choices.

Yes, I am happy. I have never been happier or more optimistic about my future and the future of mankind and the world.

That is a good question. I am mostly happy. However, I have a nasty tendency to rehash things over and over again. That causes no end to second guessing of my decisions.

The one thing I wish I didn't do was date my ex-girlfriend. I often wonder what would have happened had that part of my life not been.

The worst decision I ever made was not going into medicine. I had the opportunity and decided not to. It is the one thing that I have truly regretted.

Best thing I did was marry my wife. She is great.

My advice to anyone is to not double guess yourself. In many things, the key factor is to make a decision and be decisive. Not make a decision and wonder if the other way was the way to go.

Danny · 10-25-2005, 02:54 PM

I have almost always been happy in even less then desirable situations (though not ecstatic, I'm pretty laid back and even keel).That said, the past month has been a bit tough for me (yeah, a girl, of course). I also have no serious regrets. I've made plenty of little mistakes as we all do, but that's part of life.

Dutch · 10-25-2005, 02:59 PM

Ignorance is bliss.

Subby · 10-25-2005, 03:01 PM

No, of course not.

I bet if you worked it all out you might find that by never dating the ex-girlfriend you never would have met your wife.

No Regrets

For my advice to younger generations, you can post a poll in the Additional Options when you post your thread.

Nah. It most likely would have happened anyway as they were totally separate events.

Johnny93g · 10-25-2005, 03:26 PM

kingnebwsu · 10-25-2005, 03:39 PM

Very happy with my personal life, very unhappy with my professional life. Anyone who's thinking of majoring in liberal arts in college should save their money and choose a real major. That is all

Absolutely. And I would follow this point up by saying that as you weigh your decisions, err on the side of action rather than inaction. Take some risks. Ask the girl out. Travel to Australia. Try out for the team.

You'll more often regret not doing things.

Except for jumping off the bridge that all your friends are jumping off of!

Other than that I agree completely!

Schmidty · 10-25-2005, 04:18 PM

No one can be truly happy until "now" is enough. "Wanting" is the cause of much of the sadness and suffering in the world. When you accept every moment exactly as it is, you find that happiness happen automatically.

Raiders Army · 10-25-2005, 05:33 PM

life sucks for me right now. The end of a long relationship, stressfull job. I think once the relationship is finally over, my life will improve much...

Logan · 10-25-2005, 06:24 PM

I really like the job I started after graduating RU. I'm with a girl now who I'm crazy about. Yeah, I'm happy.

Craptacular · 10-25-2005, 07:03 PM

Despite recent events, yes. The best decision I made was to pursue interest in my wife when we first met. Advice for the younger generation? Figure out a way to pay for my generation when we retire.

JeeberD · 10-25-2005, 09:09 PM

No, not tonight I'm not...

Your optimistic about the future of mankind and the world?

As for what "makes happiness", I guess it is a choice, but it's also the results of choices. It's a choice to date your future date, but it also a choice to date a shitty girl who you regret dating.

I am absolutely happy. I feel like I'm at a major crossroads in my life, but I'm confident that it will work out well.

McSweeny · 10-25-2005, 10:11 PM

couldn't be happier

Galaxy · 10-25-2005, 10:27 PM

I'm somewhat happy, with a lot of excitement for the future.

My next surgeries ("stage 3 and stage 4" will begin with the first surgery in about 2 months) will be a major progress to getting to where I want to be.

School is doing well, almost nearing the "end" and getting myself in the mindset of entering the real world. Hopeful of my business future.

Family is wonderful and the financial situation is starting to look up with my mom. My brother just got married in July, found out last week his wife is one-month pregant, and is pulling in big money at his job at just 26.

Riggins44 · 10-25-2005, 10:42 PM

Pretty happy. Doing ok financially and I haven't had to check in to a clinic under the name Ron Mexico.
