>be better than yesterday

Smoke weed

dont worry about finding it. it might come to you one day or it might not.

the sun will rise if you are happy or not.

no real reason not to be

There is no happiness in life, save for what we make for ourselves. If you spend your life waiting for happiness to fall into your lap, it will be out of reach forever. Chasing good feels only sends them farther away.

Instead, take time to appreciate things that you have, do things that move your soul. Cook a meal, and even if it's shit, know that you did it, and that you can do it again, but better. Get out of the city, deep innawoods, and look at the sky user, see the expanse of the cosmos above us. We are so small, and yet we are here. You are alive, and that's all that matters

I didn't, I just accepted the misery

Kek I legit cried last night thinking of this exact thing. I have never been happy in my life, even as a child I cant pick one occasion.

you need to put a [serious] tag in the title of your askreddit thread or else no one will be serious!!

Having sex with hot strangers. I don't smoke and I don't drink. Cumming on a hot girls face is my dopamine.

user heres a story about me which ive asked myself the same questions and around the same time discovered this place which led to ultimately learning about self improvement and seeking a higher destination
>Be me HS, like 5 years ago
>All i did was lift
>Come to uni as a freshman, didnt drink or do anything bc of lifting
>Depression hits like a motherfucker bc no friends etc.
>Became very bad sophmore year.
>Seeked help. Got onto zoloft/sertraline- inb4 muh test- i had levels tested before and after, actually increased bc depression/anxiety causes low test too. so fuck off wanna be docs in this thread
>start from scratch
>restart lifting, seeking out dieting help
>start not caring what anyone thinks, stop being a people pleaser
>develop a take no prisoners attitude and focus more on goals, what i want, myself and no one else besides close friends and family
>started getting off social media- keeping apps and stuff just not on it 24 hours a day.
>embraced failure- whether school, a test, texting a girl, saying sumbshit, losing a fight, whatever. you learn more from this from getting it right the first time
>never apologize for what you believe in
>believe in something or stand for nothing
>also, never ever let something small go by and you dont stand up to it- like someone does a small or large agression towards you or says something you dont like- speak up. If you do not stand up for the little things, you will never stand up towards bigger things.
>maintain you hair, teeth, hygiene in general.
>always dress to make you feel confident, you never know who youll meet.
>understand that there is no such thing as perfection but you can get pretty darn close
>take no prisoners, because once your time is up. its gone.

maybe this sounds cringe, maybe it doesn't but i hope the best for you user and the others in this thread and on this board. also stay off drugs. Just dont do it.

Distract yourself and don't intentionally try to be happy. Don't go on Yas Forums and other intentionally saddening places. Get off Yas Forums probably too.

Happiness doesn't exist, it's a social construct. You can only get breakes from the inherent meaninglessness of life.

Gratitude. Meditation. You can chase goals and worldly pleasures but they will leave you unsatisfied and craving for more.

Accepting the free gift of Jesus Christ our savior

love and work bro

By coming to terms with some shit I've done and working towards becoming a person I can be proud of. Still not 100% happy with my life, but I'm getting there.

Don't be mentaly ill.

This but also put pressure on yourself to complete goals
>no fapping until i finish X
set a time frame and rewards.
>I'll play vidya when I am done for the day
Highlight small success and journal it
>taking pictures and posting it on social media
Research your goals and repeat them if needed.
Finally take breaks and actually rest
>ie meditation
>2:1 ratio
>for every hour studying do 2 hours of doing

Find something you're passionate about that brings OTHER people joy, not just yourself.

Watch good films

attaining happiness is overrated
something something Schopenhauer something something pendulum swinging between suffering and boredom
im not saying happiness isnt good, or that attaining happiness is bad
im just saying it's overrated
seek what is meaningful, and if you happen to stumble upon happiness along the way, even more the better
but what to i know, im just a dude constantly that sent moot a friend request on myspace and am now obsessively clicking f5

Focus on tasks not feelings

i have no fucking clue what would make me happy, in truth i dont think im ever going to find happiness
i have convinced myself that if a find a gf and all that shit that i will be happy but in honesty i think thats some strange way i just cope and that if i do get a gf who loves me i will still be as miserable as ever

i don't think you'll be as miserable as ever, but you'll find new problems to surmount.

Set goals that are isolated to you with zero dependencies on outsiders. This means you don't make having a relationship a part of your goal to be happy. That might sound counter intuitive, but having a relationship is not a key to happiness. It's the other way around, you need to be happy before you try to have a relationship.

ambition

Instead of listening to idiots on this shitty waste of time board, read On The Tranquility of the Mind and On the Happy Life by Seneca.

Correct

stop caring what women want and realise they're a waste of time and a detriment to your goals. Achieve everything
