Hi5! I live in a kind of life that many people are jealous of. I can afford whatever I want, go wherever I want, and still I am never happy.

I am not happy because at some point I was happier. Creating an unrealistic standard by which I measure my life.

You are not happy because despite the good life, theres something you are missing and its preventing you from being totally happy

I have asked myself the same question, and I know people who ask themselves this question. I can't tell you why, but I can point you in the right direction. Don't look outside of yourself for happiness. You won't find it there. You will only find true happiness inside. We often interact with things which conjure a sense of happiness. But! That happiness did not come from those things. No, that happiness came from inside of you. It was only coaxed out by something which you enjoyed.
But those things go away, and then we are left without happiness — or so it feels. You must grow your happiness, tend to it like a garden. Do things that make you happy, yes, but do not rely on those things for happiness. Sit silently and see what comes. Stay determined in your inner search, and you will find it.
Peace :-)

I guess the real question to ask is, by whose definition is your life good? If you are not happy maybe you are not living YOUR definition of a good life. Having a good life does not define happiness but happiness defines having a good life

It varies from person to person as many have these feelings. A very common reason is having high expectations and not allowing yourself to celebrate each success. If people continue from one goal to the next, it doesn't leave time to experience the joy of the moment. Sometimes just being on the path to your goal is a tremendous experience. Don't miss out on the joy of being mindful or simply in the moment.

Why am I not happy? I have asked myself that question about a million times. My life is a good life. I have everything I could ever want, and I am supposed to be happy. It took me a long while to understand that depression is also chemical imbalance in the brain, among other things. I learned to accept it and embrace it, and it has taught me many lessons. Also, happiness is something elusive and relative. Don't stress out about that, it is normal and many people go through it (the struggle). I hated myself for a long time due to that fact, but now I just accept more, I guess. It is a personal progress, but many people on here can help you on your journey.

Your happiness doesn't really depend on you having a good or bad life. There are miserable millionaires and there are cheerful homeless people. Do what makes you happy. If painting makes you happy, paint. If listening to music makes you happy, listen to music. Just having a good life isn't enough to make you happy.

Happiness doesn't come when you have a good life. Happiness comes from utter satisfaction. When you have variety in your life and you do both types of activities (mental, physical) along with a mix of some love from people and doing things you like, then you feel satisfied. Though rules aren't fixed, and in life you always go through phases of being happy then unhappy, its like a roller coaster. Usually just changing your habits might help make the down phase move on faster.

I am sorry to hear you are not happy with your good life. Sometimes that can be the case though, and there is no actual answer to your question. Maybe you should speak to your doctor or local GP about this, speak to friends and family- It is important to tell people what is going on- Always here if you would like to talk 1-1 :) Hope you are ok.

If you find a simple answer to this, write a book. You'll make a fortune. Just make sure to name one of your yachts after me. 😉
Seriously though... Could be anything!

I do have a good life. I feel I'm not happy because my expectations from childhood have failed I guess. For instance I got a divorce. My inner child can't except that.

We often don't take the time to appreciate all of the good things that happen in our life. Each time you do something positive, write it down and keep a list of all of the positive things that happen in your life every day. It can be something as simple as remembering to brush your teeth. At the end of the day, read all of the positive things out to yourself and you will notice that life isn't so bad after all!

The same reason why the temperature might be perfect for snow to set. But the snow doesn't set. There may be grit on the road or a bad foundation for the snow to set. You must find the root cause of your happiness.

You are probably depressed. Just because you may have nice things and/or privileges does not mean everything is okay. If there is a specific problem bothering you, solve it. If you have depression, it is the chemicals in your brain making you feel so unsatisfied with everything.

You may be lacking goals and gave become complacent with your life. But happiness is not something you can always be feeling. It's felt often in contrast to other feelings.

A good life doesn't mean you are supposed to be happy too, you can have negative things in your life that makes you unhappy, like not being able to share your happiness with other people, being alone, or having problems with dealing with things that happened in the past or recently, maybe if you can figure out why you're unhappy, you can try to change the things that are possible to change to make yourself a bit more happy!

There are times when even though you could have everything you imagined, everything you ever thought you needed to have a good life, you're not happy. You feel lonely, or restless all the time, or bored and tired of life. Suffering from depression may be the reason. It's hard to exactly pinpoint a time at which you started feeling unhappy with life in spite of having so much, but as long as you can describe your symptoms to a listener on 7 Cups or a therapist or a trusted friend/adult who can refer you to the proper help, I promise you will learn to love life again.

Sometimes we are not satisfied with the life we have because of our unrealistic expectations. Maybe you should understand that life is not a movie. You should enjoy every small moment and be happy, instead of waiting for something extremely fancy to happen.
