I have a good life why am I not happy?

Well, having good life does not always equalize happiness. People can have well paid jobs, happy families, a successful social life, but still not reaching happiness. In other hand, people with less life qualities may feel happier. The reason is that happy come from what make you happy not from what is in you hands. Imagine having a big diamond in your hand while you are extremly thirsty and exhausted. Will you feel happy? Yeah you may exchange it for some stuffs and things, but the diamond/ the wealth/ the good things by them will not relief you if you are not happy from inside. So rather than looking for good paid jobs lets think about job that you are passionate about. Rather than marrying a bretty smart women, marry the one that matches with your soul, that understand you clearly even if she got some disadvanges. Rather than having busy social life fullfilled with many people and friends, try to spend time with one person that shares you exatct interest or have an interesting life or career. Experience extremmities in life, joy, curiosity, wonder, miracles. Try everything, live everymoment, and feel the peacefulness flows in you interiors. Love yourself and feed it with what satisfy it spiritually. Happiness does ot come with good life , happiness come with satisfying life.

* What do you consider a "good life"? When I hear this question it pretty much sounds like you live what OTHER people would call a good life. There are all these images, movies, conversations that implant concepts into your brain making you think "this is the way I am supposed to live". Well, most of that is just marketing. You decide what a good life is for you and for you only. * Did you ever think about what you truly want in your life? What is your HEART'S desire? A house, food, money etc will secure your material basis, yes, but it will never fulfill your deep desires. Find out what you really want from life. Become a painter, travel, meet new people, learn, have a pet, connect to spirituality? * Realize what you already have and how lucky you are to have all this. Health, money, a home, a family, friends, nature, freedom; all the things that so many other people do not have. Appreciate the small things as well. * If you found out your true desires -that can take weeks/months- act accordingly. Stop caring what other people say and do it YOUR way. Your life is about you, not about others' thoughts. * Be free in your thoughts and actions, break out of behaviour patterns and try something new. Standstill is death. If you run in a hamsterwheel every day, chances are you are already dead (hence the question). Break the cycle. Anything can help. Be creative and listen to your intuition/heart. * Get rid of energy vampires. Leave people that leave you with bad emotions. If necessary, find new friends or a new partner. Rest assured, you will meet new people that fit better than before.

It's possible that you may feel like something is missing in your life. Maybe you have a nice family and go to a nice school as well as live in a nice house, but you don't really have any friends to talk to. It could also be mood swings and this can just be a stage in your life. This is common during the adolescent stage. To try and fix this situation, it would be a great idea to try new things such as traveling, participating in new hobbies and activities, meeting new people, etc. For some, our brains are fixed on not wanting to be happy and the giver of these thoughts can be called "the demons inside your head." What would be best is to distract yourself, try new things, and do what makes you happy!

Are you looking for happiness on things inside of you? Are you doing things that motivate you? Are you trying to provide happiness to oher people as well? Have you checked with a doctor/specialist there is no physical condition for your lack of happiness? Do you have friends/a support network that will cheer you up when you feel sad? Besides having a good life, are most of your habits healthy? Are you the first (or maybe second) best-friend of yourself? If your answer to one or more of the questions above is "No", then that may be a good reason about why you are not happy despite having a good life :)

Science has proven that most of dissatisfaction feelings or other painful ones (leading to heart ache, loneliness or depression) can be radically suppressed by GRATITUDE. However, most of us in today's society are very busy handling our own problems, relationships, future let alone our emotions! So we can't blame ourselves for forgetting basic instincts like gratitude. But hey, now that we heard about it again: let's all feel better by thanking the universe (or God if you are religious) for all that it gave to us from that everyday human body carrying us through the adventure that life is that we have, to that life itself being so full of surprises!

Even though there's nothing wrong with your current life, the reason of your unhappiness might be in the fact that this wasn't what you've envisioned or you're not the person you want to be. It's normal that not everything is perfect and never will be the exact vision that you had. But, you have to stay true to what you want from your environment and what you want to be. It's like if someone gave you a nice haircut with short hair. Doesn't look bad, but you won't be satisfied if you wanted your hair long. It's like if you bought a Ferrari because it was the most expensive car you could afford but you like the design of a lower priced car. It's good, but it isn't what you wanted for you. You need to ask yourself who you want to be and if you are this person or not, and that might be the reason of your unhappiness.

Happiness and life can't be related sometimes people are very successful in life but still they are not happy. For example a student who always top in class might be not happy because he want to enjoy but he can't or he want more marks but on the same a average student can be happy, because he is feeling happy from inside. Watching comedies doesn't help untill you feel happy from inside. Which is on eof the most important thing. Most people say money can't bring happiness, but it even doesn't make sense everyone have their own life and it matters on them they wanna be happy or not. Just try to sing songs loud, do stupid things random things.

I think it's a good question. Having a good life and being happy are two different things. Having a good life means everything is going fine you are surrounded with but that doesn't mean it makes you happy all the time. For ke happiness does not depend on how successful you are or if everything goes fine. What really important is being happy in life that's a satisfactory life. You're having a good life and even not happy it coul be because whatever you are doing is either not Up to your expectation or you are bot satisfied. Like for example if I'm working on something an everyone says it's a good work of art piece but it doesn't make me happy at all because I'm not satisfied with my price of work. What you wanted and what you get are two different things. When you get what you want that makes a person happy.

because having a good life doesnt always stop the brain chemicals being all messed up. so that could be part of it.

It can be mental affections... you dont have to have a great life to be happy. Its very individual what makes you happy.
