feeling good again...
so i figured out this huge thing. sometimes you can't wait for external factors to decide your feeling good in life. it's possible just to force myself to feel good without anything good happening. it's almost like a miracle mechanism. you can unlimitedly feel good all the time if you have the will to do so. "i feel great." that's all i need to say to myself, and i'm back at that desirable level. i don't need to win the lottery or have lots of money or get girls.. i just feel great. lol the thing is.. i have a feeling the good things in life come after you figure out how to feel good without having anything. bc when u feel like crap you attract all the wrong things. but, when u feel good all time time, lots of good things start to get attracted into your life. it's almost like a reward from your environment. since i feel good and sharing it with the people around me, they give some of that positive energy back and it just snowballs into better things in life.
ps: another thing related to this i've been thinking about lately... is that whenever i find myself criticizing somebody it's usually because i feel like crap and i'm not happy seeing them happier than me. this might be the root of things like jealousy. also, trying to be superior to others is also something to compensate for lack of feeling good. bc if you feel good, you don't have to be critical of others or jealous of their happiness bc u already feel good. so maybe if i become adept at feeling good, i will be less critical, jealous and arrogant. i won't need these things to feel good any more.

I think part of this is also touched upon in that book "The Secret". I didn't read the whole thing (shame on me) but skimmed through it pretty quickly. Basically, you attract what you want. If you want unhappiness, be unhappy. If you want joy, be happy. Simple as that. It's just like the whole "smile and the world smiles with you" kind of mentality.
@shoujo - it actually works too.. i just can't wait until it is totally second nature again. i used to be a happy kid.
@shoujo - the secret is cool.. but for me, it seems a little too mystical. this think big book seems a little more grounded. but, it's probably the same mechanism they are pointing at.
Happiness is as easy as a decision. And your actions speak for you. Are you a builder or a destroyer?
Even the simplicity of the words you use or the tone you choose to delivery your message.
All things considered, we all have much to be happy about. Take none of it for granted.
@picassosinatra - amen!
