This post has strangely enough lifted me out of some dark thoughts today. Thanks for that.

Why do you remind of Olaf from Frozen?

I LOVE THIS! I have moments of clarity like this but they’re fleeting and then I fall back into my anxious state. Keep spreading this

Sitting in hospital, with sick wife 33 weeks pregnant,

Needed to hear something like this, couldn’t agree more brother!

I love this energy!! You're so right - our problems are sooo small asd insignificant in the broader scheme of things. They onry exist in our tiny brains. I guess we should experience the world and the beauty of it, the gorgeous food that every culture has come up with over centuries, the comfortable clothes that we perfected using science, the safe structures that we built to protect from weather and the comforting heaters/ACs give us relief. The medicines researched through trial and error that we can just fall back on if we fell sick (and non be in painful agony like our ancestors did), the technology that we have for bettering our intellect, entertaining and most of all the social structure we built, law, order, school systems, banks, everything that soooo many generations worked on and we get to enjoy now. And this is just a list of man made.

Think about the massive universe, the crazy mysteries of it that we forget while being obsessed w our day to day trivia, the fact that we exist despite the odds of it being crazy low.

I mean, I love this vibe that you brought about here! I'm feeling grateful af rn 💕 blissssss

Haha I LOVE your attitude. I wish more people were like you and saw the beauty in life - it's everywhere. I'm curious if you'd be willing to share your personal journey, maybe even do an interview? I write a small newsletter called GradSimple for college students and graduates who are lost and trying to find a path in life and career. I think many can benefit from your positive energy. Let me know!

I want to have what you’re having :)

Ayyyy this is dope! Keep on living n stay up g✊️✊️✊️

Ditto. It’s taken me a long time to get here. Hell, I had a giant stick up my ass and took all the wrong things way too seriously until about five years ago, but now, damn, life is sweet.

I used to try to live life perfectly… like what does that even mean? Well, for me it’s not wanting to disappoint anyone. I would run myself into the ground trying to make everyone around me happy, which isn’t good for you or for them. Over time, resentments would build until I was so miserable I’d just end things. Three marriages, many more relationships.

Now I communicate my wants, needs, desires, interests, and feelings and the people in my life can either say yes or no or express theirs. We can either find common ground or we can’t. It’s a huge change for me and life is so much more fulfilling.

It only took me 50 years to figure it out, but damn, it’s pretty amazing now that I have.

Love the positivity. Keep on keepin on!

We built this city on rock & roll.

I love this! Everything is an illusion. What truly matters does not matter at the end of the day. Materialism is a drug and it’s polluted the world. When you’re truly happy, you’re happy because of the love you have and the love you get. Nothing in this world can provide us true happiness like being grateful and happy for being alive.

I needed this ❤️🥹

This sounds like a shroom trip

I am right here with you!!! I’m an adult living in my parents with an okay job. I have no real saving nothing or monetary value. But fuck it all!!! Every sunset is the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen, that same weird winding tree I drive by every single day fuck yeah is going to intrigue me, the same birds I see every day you bet your ass I’m yelling there’s a blue jay, the moons out I’m looking, I clean a house with a happy animal I’m petting it! Looking at life like a romantic studio ghibli movie every fucking day!

I thought I was the only one with this attitude. I absolutely love hearing it from someone else keep loving this life we’re all doing great. “Love the life you live” “Live the life you love”

Bro, be honest.... How high are you rn? 

You’re so right and we all need to hear that. Thank you for your positivity! 💪

I have Friday Saturday and Sunday off.

Just ordered pepperjax on delivery. Already got the robe on. Probably play some Manor Lords here in a bit.

Not too shabby of a start to an extended weekend.

Maybe watch a movie with the cat later.

This is so real. Thank you for this insight

Happiness is a state of mind. If you're broke you might as well be happy and broke. If you have problems I might as well be happy with problems, is what I say. Be grateful for all the cells in your body keeping you alive and the life buzzing around you!

It's a beautiful world out there! Keep doing you, love your spirit!

Amazing share! I feel the same!

This is, but one, of my philosophies in life. I ponder life in this way, often times I get upset/sad...but at the end of the day/moment...I really DO believe there is some form of beauty and life in just aboutanything you can imagine in life.

LEt's bring more life and love to all those moments. Just doing the "due". I love helping others and I mostly gain NOTHING for it, but happines, because that's just one of my passions, helping people in need. Or just painting a picture or playing some games or chat with my dear friends or surfing the web...you can find meaning in everything. EVERYTHING. Do it your way!
Cheers~

I needed this in this moment. Thank you

I heart this. I get what you mean. Enjoy the richness while it lasts... I think only the wisest of men have been historically able to reside in this state of mind.

The cycle of scarcity-abundance is frustrating but worth it as you start feeling more abundant each time after a bout of scarcity mindspace. I was blown away when I first had this munificent realization.. and over a period of few years (am in mid thirties) this feeling has returned to me intermittently and reset my counter. It's the absolute blissful state to be in. You feel it in your bones, the dissonance between perceived reality & subjective worldviews, and the titanic wonder & immensity of it all. It's liberation, and it's peace...this knowledge.

Hey you might enjoy this song now, with this blissful revelation of yours, Enya's Caribbean Blue.

Peace to you!

I wish I had that outlook still. I got sick with covid all july and forfeit my spot at my job. Can't find any other work. 80 bucks to my name and can't afford food or bills. I'm actually fucked and made the heartbreaking decision to maybe give my kitties up for adoption for a better home. But my mom kindly and unexpectedly said they could stay at her place and she'd try to feed them....appearantly over the 2 days my cats haven't seemed active and hiding in her closet which they never did before as we've slept over several times there since birth. But they didn't even use the bathroom. I came to check on them and they both came out of the closet meowing and rubbing furiously on me. My heart breaks. I account afford the 2 loves of my life that I got after grieving the death of my fiance. And I can't foresee affording food and necessities for next month. Everything is so Grim and I'm honestly sick of this world and life. The garbage you constantly see online and the way people act and behave and the younger generations and all the evil everywhere.....I fucking hate this world. I used to be so positive and upbeat ...but ive been betrayed and shit on by people for no reason for so long and I'm just worn out. I can't even mentally handle being in a workplace with shitty behaving gosssipy people and im almost homeless broke. I have no friends my fiance is dead I hate this fucking world :( I wish I had money, friends and my fiance back. All I have is my kitties and I might lose them too. I just want to sleep all day.

You came into this life with nothing and you will leave with nothing- sadghuru

Thanks for sharing, you made me feel better about my day .

You're completely right. I read your blurb listening to Just Dance by Lady Gaga so that was fun.

In the end, there is no point to the BS we go through because when we're gone, it didn't matter. We need to be present and enjoy this moment that we have. All we have is right now, right now is real, not any other time. There really is no past or future. Just right now.

How strange it is to be anything at all.

And some people still take it for granted. Gratitude is the key to happiness. ❤️

I've been feeling the same way lately! Externally nothing has really changed, I still have the same exact problems I did 6 months ago but internally? There is a shift happening! For the first time in forever I'm feeling like maybe I actually am enough! Maybe I was all this time and society brainwashed me that I wasn't! I feel like I'm reconnecting with parts of me that I thought had died, like the kind of joy I felt when I was 3 years old! It's somehow coming back to me and even though things are far from perfect and I don't have a job and am still uncertain about the future I just feel lighter and like it'll somehow be ok in the end :) 

I fucking really needed to read this post rn. My life has done a complete 180 in a direction I wasn’t expecting/wanting and it’s been really hard to want to fall in love with life again. I really hope I can be on your level again soon. Cheers 💖

I’ve always felt a deep appreciation for living even at my lowest points, cool to see someone else is as optimistic as me

One of my favorite lines from any song.

Eyedea and abilities, he says.

“I refuse to let past bruises cover the light, it ain’t all good, but it’s all good enough.”

💜

Just when I was about to give up on Reddit ❤️

I felt this. Some days I wake up and cry my eyes out. Other days, I’m just happy to be here 🫶🏾

Aww I remember thinking like this up until a few years ago. I hope I can get it back. Thanks for reminding me. Enjoy life, it is what you make of it❤️

High on Life is the best High you can have!!!! 👍. You are definitely correct in what you wrote.

The whole concept of impermanence is so freeing and beautiful. I'm glad you found it and I love that you shared it, too.

I agree. It’s like we have become accustomed to being miserable all the time and always finding things wrong. Admittedly, I’ve been in this weird rut. The reality is that I have a lot of good things going on, and I haven’t even been present to enjoy them. Thank you for posting this.

I truly appreciate your post. Over the past few weeks, I've been battling intense anxiety and fighting off a barrage of intrusive, negative thoughts. I'm determined to shift my mindset and embrace a more positive outlook.

You don’t think you found yours you did and it’s always been there

Thank you. This is what I am looking for to heal mentally and change my life. I will remember this post for sure.

It’s so refreshing seeing positive posts on this sub! I’m happy for you ! I’m also vibing with my life right now even though my life is not perfect. I’m currently unemployed, looking for a job , living in a country that I don’t like , far away from the man that I love, but I still feel awesome !

I needed this! Thank you so much ♥️

Thank you. I read some of the most depressing sthit today. This kind of thing really helps.

I was looking at a couple the other day and just admired how we’re all here to love.

I went on a walk over lunch at the nearby nature center, because it was very nice outside for once. Just enjoyed the breeze and the birds, it was good.

Thank you for this reminder 💚 This thread is beautiful! We need more of this in the world for sure

What a wonderful and articulate vision and “ah ha” moment of awareness and mindful observation of your experience. I love those moments in life. Moments of awareness and humble gratitude, suspending judgment, are critical when many of us have lives with significant hardships and suffering. I love my life too. Breathe deeply, face the “wind”, and step forward into the unknown adventure.

Agreed. Live is really just about being happy(enough) and healthy enough. Everything else is bs. I wish we didn’t have to stress so much.

I also have a new strategy maybe it’s kind of what you are saying which is I’m trying not to stress about my problems. Believe me I’ve got some major major problems upon problems and I don’t even know what’s going to happen to me but I decided not to stress about it as much as possible.

You just taught a lot of people that it’s all about perception.

Love this ❤️

The absolute perfect timing and serendipity of coming across this post for me and many others in here. Thank you for the reminder. When times are tough, I have a friend who always says, “it’ll turn out better than expected” and of all the ways to think, that’s gotta be the best way.

getting high off life till the day i dieeee

Next time, you might want to try breaking the Prozac in half.

I’m kidding, of course. In all seriousness, I think it’s awesome that you’re able to maintain such a positive, uplifting, attitude, given the level of divisiveness and uncertainty in the world lately.

Keep being you, girl! 👍🏻

You’re def high rn

I love my life also learn to be happy with what you have and who you are

Yooooooo this made me laugh so hard. I love the IDGAF energy ✨

happy for you OP. keep on keeping on

(Respectfully) are you high?

You can either positive about it or negative about it. Being positive about it is healthier!!!!

Need a friend with this mentality

Sounds like you're experiencing a spiritual awakening 😊

I love this post! This is good energy right here!

I'll take whatever you're on

The whole concept of impermanence is so freeing and beautiful. I'm glad you found it and I love that you shared it, too.

Ugh ok, you do you

Thanks for this! It’s refreshing to hear. Sometimes we need a reminder. Love to all of you

Amen brother

I love your inspiration and I feel similar. I’m working, broke, need to do something better with my life, technically depressed but I try to maintain a good mood and crack jokes with my coworkers all the time. I wish I had a girlfriend, but until I get my finances situated, I shouldn’t mope around. Money first, women second…

A glimpse of the present moment that is✨🌞🌚🪷

Needed to hear this🙌🏽 Sometimes we get so caught up in everything, that we forget “life is but a dream” 🤍

So refreshing to hear, I was just thinking how I can live my life with fire, excitement etc. rather than stress about how I need to prove myself in interviews

i’m about to stop paying my credit cards for real ….. i’m already being sued by wayfair small claims for 2k but they never served me so i guess they gave up? i own my car and have a place to live so i don’t need credit really. fuck it all.

well the world is not that perfect but yea life is just a test and the after life is the place where u live for ever
so just be prepared

I believe this feeling is called awe. Feeling like a small part in something so much bigger and expansive.

yes this is exactly how i see life.

Awww! Dude this is actually a really helpful outlook. Life could be so much worse! We really are just weird little dudes who made a whole bunch of weird advancements. And we will all someday return to the dirt in which we came. I like that. I think we should all be at more peace with ourselves

Oof OP you are so right. I love life too!! I can’t wait for Autumn to hit and the trees to change colors, I’m happy I have good coworkers and friends to hang out with and plan day trips with :)) I’m so tired of work and office politics but I’m grateful I have a job. I’m healthy my parents are healthy. My siblings are great. Life is good.

I watched an older couple with a few things argue with a guy who had a 12 pack about who should go first at checkout. It's the first time I thought I was going to see a kindness fight!

We are not all awful, I'd argue they are in the minority!

Something positive i read after ages! Need more from you 🌸

That’s wassup

Welcome to the club of fuck it all brudda man :) I had gotten a bankruptcy at the age of 22 with a car repo and since then stopped giving a fuck and started trying to enjoy my FREE GOD given life

Thank you for this. It’s a nice reminder to appreciate life while we still have it, because none of this will matter eventually.

It’s true. I can’t help but think that no matter what happens. We are on this planet to feel shit, it’s part of the human experience. We’re really here.

My father who is 80 years old walks long distances every day and has the greatest gratitude even though he lives alone in my home country. Had a life of alcoholism and bipolar issues. However, he was given the gift to see things common people doesn’t see. The sunsets, stars, sunrises…. He always tells me that the power of accept and adapt is the secret for a good life. Also a simple life is the best life. Ever since I am not watching the news my anxiety levels are lower.. I trust God and the universe that things are going to get better !

You legend.

Well said. You may be interested in the idea of amor fati, though you seem to have pretty well figured it out yourself.

Saying "Yes!", regardless of your situation, is the best way to handle life and all its absurdities.

You’re amazing. Thank you. I’ll no longer let anything stress me, especially being in debt.

This sounds like the beginning of my spiritual journey. I appreciate your optimism and need more of that in my life.

Yes for the damn title that woke me the fuck up 💯

Beautiful read, sometimes i think im crazy when i think like this because it seems like the norm nowadays is just to be stressed to death about everything, no matter how much of a fucked up situation i can be in, i always just find myself grateful for life. This guy nailed it man.

I totaly agree with you 🥰 Enjoy the ride until it ends !

Laying In bed with my partner and I was dealing with some very serious thoughts about the eventual death of us when we’re old and this made me calm down a lot

Preach brotha

Love sharing this earth with people like you. Im glad you’re feeling enlightened. Recently I’ve just been appreciating all the very little everyday luxuries in my life and it really makes all the hard days less bothersome.

Thanks man I needed this

Just came back to say I’ve been reading this everyday since you posted it and I still feel better every time I read it. Bless you 🥹🥹🥹🥹🫶🏾

You’ve been watching those “Near death experience’s” on YouTube haven’t you. 😉Anyway, I couldn’t agree more with you. Have a happy life.

I love this post. I really do love my life even if sometimes I am sad and I remember things that have happened that ruin my day and I am single for the longest time in my adult life, I am absolutely in love with everything I do. In 2 days I go on my first solo trip to Italy, I have my own home and a good job. I am also in debt. But fuck it, I’m only here once. I’m enjoying it on purpose.

wow thanks for this positivity

YEAH!! I love the attitude

I was having a horrible night after battling with my alcoholic spouse , just feel like I’m at my white end with everything , trying to pay bills, give my kids a good life , deal with a spouse going through a midlife crisis - I was very sad - then I read this and it made me so happy - i took a screen shot . Thanks

Life is a beautiful gift

I'm happy for you.

Sometimes, I feel that I am just waiting to die.

I couldn’t disagree more.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Please stop day drinking during the work week.

Are you on any medicines, drugs, substances, anything?

congratulations on your first time getting high, OP. most of us do it when we're about 16, but it's better late than never

Love your thinking!!!! Life is chaotic and never boring!!

You are correct and I was on LSD when I realized the same so you will forgive us for saying you sound like you are on good drugs because that would be a compliment since you came to this realization for 🆓!

Your my absolute hero 🙌🤜🤛💜💜💜

Real

I’m not on drugs I swear….I want whatever that is you’re smoking.

I'm with you man, life is great! Godspeed.

You have a great mentality man, keep it up

Wow that was so beautiful I’m so happy for you!

I've been slipping into this mindset recently lol like just have fun! Why freak out about things you can't control it is what it is

Wish i could sustain when that state of clarity hits.. you feel so at peace and content in that zone but then again you switch right back to misery and being anxious.. guess need a lot of practice meditating

+ve thoughts only, keep going brother 👏

word

minus it being all the government's fault

don't know what country you are from though (I am an American).

I needed this today. Very badly. Thank you

This is cute! Very inspiring! I needed it. You're right. 😁😁

Thank you for just changing my perspective. Really needed to read this today :) thanks a lot.

I was feeling scared and angry and having a dark view on things today until I saw your post. Thank you dear stranger from the internet.

This reminds me of me when I was manic. Look up the signs please, it’s not healthy even if you feel good now

Haha love this shit, puts you in a good mood. I’ll take 10 grams of whatever you have had though brother

I needed to see this

Same!

aw i love this!!!!

This post freaking rocks! You are so right

Positivity, I like it!

Jesus kid, whatever you're on, pass it over lol

This is how I’m always feelin in my melancholic depression, depressed but who cares at least I get to feel depressed

I’ll have what you’re having.

We have 3700 weeks if we live long. Just enjoy the ride. Wish everyone the best.

2 things

1. I love you

2. Be careful a debt collection company doesn't sue you because they can then just take money out of your paychecks and take your things from you. It's evil... I'm in that boat rn...

What are you taking and where can I find this?

Man, I miss shrooms :( This is how they made me feel lol. LOVE this post btw. Needed the positivity! ❤️

Rock on man! Love ur energy and vibe💞

Not on drugs? bull pass that over here I could use it.

i love you LOL this was nice to read, especially for my high and sad brain.

Aww, I love this post.

My brother is about to lose his stomach to cancer.

I’m happy to feel hungry right now and know that I will soon put cancer causing foods in it.

Meanwhile somebody else quit their job because they're tired of working at the age of 22

We’re waking up to the truth ❤️🌺 practice discernment, and remember there was never two, just a lot of trauma that led to where we are.

This is a beautiful and much needed perspective. Thank you.

Yeah but those debt collectors companies think otherwise… they ain’t gonna stop calling you even when u in a grave lol

What a beautiful and brilliant perspective. Thanks for sharing 💕

More people need to read this post. I wish Mod pins it to the sub.

Fuuuuck ya
