Minnie the Minx Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Don't sweat the small stuff. I've been an upbeat happy type all my life even in the face of adversity or challenges, just a bullets bounce off me person. No idea on how to get this if you haven't got this, it goes on personality, attitude, general outlook, a myriad of things. Stay positive and laugh more.

Peterw42 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I suppose you are ultimately talking about keeping the black dog (depression) at bay. Otherwise happiness is pretty easy to come by. If you are prone to depression, the normal things that bring happiness are often on another planet. Keep the black dog at bay and everything is great, Music , food , relationships, sex, books, movies, hobbies etc For me, living in Thailand keeps the black dog away, almost like I left it in Australia. Live each day as a single day, you cant change anything about yesterday and dont have a clue about tomorrow, thats 2 less days to give a sh*t about.

TumblinDice Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 It's the "staying positive" that's tough. I have a great sense of humour but negative thinking.

Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Yes , Alcohol is defiantly a double edged sword, just what you feel like when your down and itself a depressant. Not to mention calling the Ex wife at 4am, and thinking you can sing, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissie Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Happiness is relative. "Happiness is the absence of pain" (Nietsche). "Happiness is a warm gun, mama" (The Beatles). For some, happiness starts with wearing red high heel shoes, instead of flip-flops. Cheers, Minnie the Minx.
