Happiness isn't always as simple as having a good life. It can come down to the finer details, such as, you may have a good life and recognize it, but are you still unhappy with things you lack? Are you having issues that make it hard to appreciate what you have because having a good life doesn't solve your problems? Or it could come down to you having a psychological disorder, a chemical imbalance in the brain. Chemical imbalances don't discriminate and people with the best lives, those who have it ALL can still wind up with depression or another mental illness. In these situations, it may take them seeking professional help from a counselor or psychiatrist in order to find a way to balance out their brain chemicals so they are ABLE to feel happy again.

Just because you have a good life doesn't mean you have to be happy. I don't have a very good answer but don't ever think that because people have it worse than you, you can't be sad. You can be sad. You don't have to have a reason. It is best to stay positive though :)

Having a good life doesn't exactly mean that you're happy, plus you can't force yourself to be happy because you have a good life. It is completely normal to feel sad sometimes, it is not related to property. Try to analyze more carefully where is your pain coming from and also try to be more thankful for all you've got, it may help you to feel better. Don't forget that you are special for all those who love you, including me :-)

if a good life always guaranteed happiness all the rich people would be happy. you need to get into the roots of your feelings and research the details of what makes you sad.

Often our definition of 'a good life' is based almost solely on factors and aspects outside of us - for example our house, our family, our car and our job. 80% of happiness can only be found within us - away from any physical possession. We all have demons inside us to conquer; it is as we confront these hurdles and rise above them that our hearts are infused with peace, purpose and happiness.

Having a good life is not all you need to happy, unfortunately. Though many of us have what we'd call a good life, a home, friends, education, food, etc, a lot of us aren't happy, and that could be down a few things, right? It could be mental health, having the above things does not prevent all mental health issues and conditions. Or, it could possibly be that your current "good life" is not good enough, but you wouldn't know that since you don't know any different.

One's interpretation of good life could most probably be based on extrinsic factors like a good job , income , partner , family and social life plus surroundings. What else happiness could be intrinsic. Happiness comes from your emotional needs both fulfilled or unfulfilled . It could be something which was not met during your childhood or in your present life. Once you identify it and overcome or even become aware of it then you will find peace and feel the bliss from within you.

Sometimes we feel like we're lacking something in our lives even if on a surface level we have everything we could ever want. And that's completely normal, because when things are okay, we slowly start noticing small things that we are still lacking, which contribute to us feeling big lack of something. Lack of happiness is what happens when some of your needs are not met. Maybe it's the need of affection? Artistic expression? Lasting fulfillment? Whatever it may be, it's definitely worth looking at. I wish that you find your happiness soon 💕
