I have a good life why am I not happy?

What defines a good life: is it one were you have all your material needs fulfilled, have a wife and kids, friends, a good job, good health, time for yourself, etc,etc. I believe there is a good life and the GOOD LIFE, being the second one that which makes you feel fulfilled, and the only way to know what that means is throughout a long period of self-knowledge, if you guide yourself by what other people or society say, you may be unhappy anyway. Basically nobody can tell you what will make you happy, you can only find that answer by yourself, that's my belief at least. Hope it helps

Not everything given to us in life makes us happy and I know some feel a lot of guilt around that. The truth is, it's what we can make out of the lives we were born into, and learn that happiness comes within ourselves, or our souls. The soul looks past whether we have a good or bad life, and only attends to you. You are your own journey.

What others perceive as a good life might not be good for everyone. Think about the times you are happy and what is missing when you are not, because maybe you do not have the perfect life for yourself. And even if you do, there are times of sadness even for the happiest people.

Sometimes having a good life can bring happiness and contentment, but if you are having an internal struggle with depression, anxiety, guilt, etc, that can take over your emotions.

Sometimes it's not about having a good or bad life. There are a bunch of other factors involved such as your mindset. For me, I had a fairly decent life with some bumps in the road. However there were things in my past that I was raised believing and became a negative thinker. Remember, you don't need to have a bad life to be upset or miserable. You are as valid as anyone else.

Maybe personally things/actions you do are not making you happy. Try some new activities, hobbies, a new atmosphere

Happiness does not necessarily always make you content. Being content can certainly lead to being happy.

A lot of the time depression doesn’t need a reason. You can have everything in the world and still be depressed. Depression is an illness not a choice.

You may refer to a good job, a good relationship and all outer things are good. But if something it's off it's good to pay attention to it.

Often we can't explain why we aren't happy, it just happens. A 'good' life is subjective, and it can change. Perhaps there are things stressing you? Making you feel angry? Upset? This is all natural. If it becomes more of a problem it may be best to see someone about it (Doctor, Teacher, Parent... etc) All the best to you! :)
