Mee too I’m always sad I would love to be happy everyday wake up smiling

@@haileyroyalty3619 Don't forget, there are spirits of sadness which can also take hold of us if we give them permission...
Meryam, I hope your life is full of happiness, laughter,love,kindness & forgiveness..Forgive those who made you feel sad, forgive yourself for whatever it was that made you sad. Just know it gets better & whatever it was you overcame it❤️ Pray you are Blessed✨
Who ever is reading this, I hope you are having a lovely day, I love you, and you are special, don't let hate, hate you!!
thanks
thank you:))
Your welcome!!:)))
Thank you, I hope you have a brilliant day and I wish you health and happiness for the future 😊
thank u let u be praised
I love this guys's videos, they've helped me a lot. I watch one of these videos every morning whenever I wake up to orient myself each day. You probably won't read this Brendon, but thanks.
Simple, but profound advice. As you so eloquently said, "common sense is so often not common practice."
Think about the good things you have done for yourself feel proud of who you are celebrate life be thankful for life for the people who worth being around love yourself and you will be love
Happiness is a state-of-mind........a choice........YOUR choice!
The cool thing about happiness and joy, is that fear cannot live or exist in the same field.
Brendon. You make it all look so simple. And that in itself is so powerful!! :) Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing with us. I am so happy I found you.
it is true, in the past six months i have done what you explained in this video. but i fell off and due to change if my work schedule and it has been very difficult for me to get back in that routine
Happiness is a day to day conscious choice we " can" make. It is just as important as the most highest priority in your life such as accomplishing the dream or career opportunity. Anything that is worth any value in your life requires putting in the effort, time, dedication and gaining knowledge, wisdom and using the skills to achieve the most wealthy, healthy and fulfilling success that can exist.
Thank you so much
This is beautiful and inspiring. Thank you
again these aren't things that are going to work for people with severe depression
but still some things are helpful
Thank you Brendon
happiness is a freedom of choice
you are very cocky but very true i am going to try it thanks for i subscribed i look forward for future videos and plan on watching your other ones keep up the good work
This is it ...the simple truth....for starters
This advice is so good, I would love to be on this level, I tried with my own channel and videos, I would love for more people to see mine and be inspired
when i want to be curious of something they dont let me to have curiosity...
I love to be around positive people.✌☕
Omg I love you this change my life
thanks, love you
What this video doesn't tackle is that positive thoughts are not second nature to everyone. Everyone has been programmed differently from their youth. The older you get, the more difficult it is to change your programming.
+UnFuckYourLife Completely agree! Here's to endless improvement.
i love you all
It's hard to be happy when your whole life has been experiencing depression.

grea great good job
I feel down alot because 1 my mom and dad divorced and I know he was a good guy, but I still see him. 2 My mom always helps or go's out with her friends then when I want to spend time with her she says no I'm tired from work or I have no money😟. I try to leave it alone and say it's ok mom. But when I address it she either gets upset mad or crys so I try not to say anything. I just got diagnosed with add(attention deficit disorder ) so it's getting a little better but now her friend is getting married, now she is just going to meeting and leaving texting and calling with the wedding group. she be on the computer all the time playing candy crush or trying to by stuff for the weddings😧. I'm trying to hang on tho. at least my dad watches movies and planed a vacation for me and my brother. but this helps thanks.😊😥

It's that simple! I woke up this morning, spoke some affirmations, told myself that im gonna write some songs, do some reading on the music industry, & reach out to some family members. That made me feel excited about my day. So therefore, im HAPPY!!
Well done, Tommy! keep that for the next day and the next day and the next day. :)
Well done my friend .. and good luck
being happy, sounds hard...
+Janel Crawford It is hard at first, but it's a struggle of understanding that's so worth it in the end. :)
I feel that...
+Janel Crawford Yes it seems harder, at the beginning all beautiful but unknown things are scary.

Same here
If you are seeking happiness, or fulfillment from life, then all you need to do is overcome your mind and live consciously in the present moment, free of thought. You just need to be aware of what is coming to you in the now, living out of your 5 life senses. If you are truly interested in how to be happy, if you want to know the actual truth about fulfillment, then google the truth contest and read the present. It explains the ultimate truth of life and death, and it is free.
we're all seeking happiness, right?
This helped for some reason
Sam Grace 5 life senses? Don't think so mate! 🤣
My present is horrible so I want to run away
Oh man is that all?
8 hours of sleep..........Ouch. That one hurts...............
sleep? what is that!!?
8hrs???? thats what im thinking of !!!!!!
you're right
we waist 8hour's of our life in sleeping 🌙️🌙️🌙️🌙️

Jesus Christ why did u say that here?
I want to do what he says to be happy but it sometimes feel truly impossible. Nobody will probably read this but it is a struggle to become happy.
You are not the only one
+kevin machamer that's good to know
that feeling right now
Hope you are happy now
I know what you mean but be sure that it will be times that u will feel so happy , and i hope u r happy now
Id be happy if the person i love was right here with me 😥
Same
+The Coolest why are you being like this...The people you hate are still people you love.
Never entrust all aspirations of love contingent on the passing whims of another human being. We find as a matter of course that relationship with God and invest total trust in Him. That is how true happiness is found and sustained through all of our lives.
+Master Lamb then I guess a Christian are more kind and friendly then you.
+Master Lamb people like you just doing the world worse and who cares if you are a atheist you should still prove that you are a better human. Hate is something you can't handle like a Christian. I known all are different but many doesn't understand that so I'm saying that you give atheist a bad reputation if atheist isn't kind people and their goal is for hate.
I'd be happy all the time if my life wasn't fucked, or at least if I knew my future isn't fucked either lmao
Create your future then
TKDfarhan1 Trying, kind of hard when theirs people who do whatever they can to prevent you from moving forward, but I'm trying.

+CaptainT33mo Bro, everyday is a new struggle, a new fight, but also, everyday it is given us the chance to win this battle! We can be winners everyday! And I'm not talking about BIG GIGANTIC things, you know that right?! Watch this TED talk called "Change anything: Use skillpower over willpower" and put all that in practice!!!
Wish you all the best!
How to be happy (3 steps)
1) Drink " Thing's "
2) Do crazy thing's
3)Make other people's happy
My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars back when I was starting in Brooklyn. I been happy ever since then.

I have struggled with severe anxiety and depression since my teens, I am now 38 with a 17 year old daughter and yes, from the day she was born she has been a god send and the way she makes me feel I cannot begin to describe... she is my world, my life, my sunshine and I love her so much and she makes me happy...
but for some reason, when I am on my own, laying in bed at night, I still feel the farthest thing away from happy, I mean when I am in the presence of my daughter and my family I feel happy, it’s nothing to do with the people in my life that is making me feel like this, I keep telling myself that I am really blessed and yet still I cannot understand why I feel like I do! So I saw this pop up as an ad and thought I may as well click on it as I’m sure it can’t make things any worse😕😔
I really don’t know why I am rambling on in the comments of this video either, I guess I am just wondering if anyone else can relate and also I have noticed that sometimes getting your thoughts and feelings out of your head and written down anywhere for the universe to see kind of helps (does anyone else know what I mean by that) and I am on meds for my mental health issues and Yet I still go to bed every night and feel like if I didn’t have my daughter and my family around (who are all completely supportive of my mental health issues)
I could easily fall off the face of the earth and wouldn’t be noticed and would gladly do so as sometimes the struggle is too much, I am very good at putting on a happy face for everyone else but deep down I am the only one who can’t believe or convince myself that I am happy... I know it sounds selfish but it’s true and I guess I am willing to try anything at this point and to let others know my true feelings (even if it’s strangers in the comment section of UA-cam) I guess it’s a start 🙂
If anyone even reads this long comment, please forgive me for the depressing statements.

A year ago I hit rock bottom and thought I would never be back to my normal self. It took a lot of work but I'm finally living a happy and fulfilling life.Your videos helped me in some of my darkest times. Just want to say thank you.
Oiiii Ouiiii
I love u bro. I dont wanna die because of ur video. u saved my life. God bless u
Greaaat video and advice! Thanks
If I did all of the things you recommended I might accdentally live longer. That is just about the last thing in this world I want to do. I have no idea what it's like to be happy, not a clue. Maybe that's for the best as I've noticed people who are happy and love life, die young. Miserable old bastards like me live forever. I would gladly give my life to someone who would enjoy it. Sometimes I envy stupid people, they're just oblivious to it all. Life is hell for people who think. Someone told me I need to lie to myself more, it works for the rest of us. Now, that is certainly something to think about.
i think you need more people like me:))
Take a vacation
Mitchell Leary you’re right like sorta sucks for those of us who think
Mitchell Leary Your comment made me really sad. Idrk what 2 say.
Gratitude and appreciation , eating well to cleanse body and mind to also feel and be more sensitive and spiritual. Connect with nature , garden give love by adopting a dog if you have love to give. Go and see the little kids who need more and you will be appreciative when you really see how much we have.
Colours make me happy, this video has no colours!
There's a little bit of colour at the bottom left side. Enjoy!

Great video, Brendon and I really love the positivity that you share. Too everyone reading this, may this year be the absolute best and I hope you are having a great time in life.
Brilliant Brandon!! I've been inspired by your work for many years! I discovered Life's Golden Ticket, and had you sign a copy for me at Mark Victor Hanson's Mega Book Writer's event in Los Angeles many years ago, and I've been learning form you ever since! I was moved by several comments on this video, but the one that struck me the most was "my parents are fighting and I just can NOT be happy." This child's comment was the whole reason I went to that conference in LA so long ago and began following your work! Ever since I've been passionate about helping kids and parents discover their power to discover lasting happiness, together. Your work has clearly helped millions change their lives, myself being one of them, and it is obvious to me that a child's happiness is directly related to the happiness of his parents. We clearly need to be and feel how we wish our children to be and feel! We wish for children abundant happiness, so we to must be abundantly happy! Thank you so much teaching those who need it most!!
The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.
Be present in the Moment It's so Important and yes as he said Start Designing The life in which you want to live.
Thank you my brother. This is wonderful. I was searching for a title for my new video How To Be Happy and I came across this video. I love it. I'm filming without a script and without editing so I really like the commonality here. It's really nice to see one of the greats doing this style of recording with such a powerful message. Thank you for this ♊🧘♂️💪❤🕺🙏🥦🕉
Plot Twist : The guy speaking is more depressed than any of us .
Robin William vibes
positivity is the key. everything is gonna be alright.
The thing is... how can I be happy in such a negative environment? It has gotten to the point where I can be punished for being happy. For me, I feel like... as if I am a seed in fertile soil, but has been deprived of water. I was planted in a place where there are many opportunities for me to take, and that I have good potential; it is just that the support system seems to deprive me of the water. In fact, it once told me "I don't care about your dream. You are nothing, and I get nothing out of you." Then this happens day after day... receiving hurt is almost like receiving my daily coffee.
Now, one insult causes a bigger emotional effect compared to a hundred complements. I don't feel like I am trying hard enough to get to my dream, and that I am failing, and slacking off.
I'm not saying its impossible for me to become happier regardless of my situation. I am just wondering... on HOW I can become happier in this situation.
Here is my two cents and I hope it helps - though I could be wrong.
When you're in a negative environment, just do whatever it takes to get yourself out of there such as time, money and friends/family. Getting out of where you are won't happen over night but it will happen, I'm sure of it, if you try.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by negative environment, the home? work environment? school?
If it's negative at school - Put on your hard hat, work through your education and graduate (if it's highschool) & if you're at university maybe decide to transfer and if that isn't an option, stay and get that paper! If it's related to people, remove yourself from them (easier said than done I know)
If it's the home - Like I said, go through with your education, get a job and earn enough money and move out!! Build new connections once you're free.
If it's work - Get a new one and quit your old :)
If it's a negative mental state, it's what he suggested, do something creative, fun and maybe something different, NO MATTER what anyone else says (unless it's something really really silly like... doing something dangerous)
In this situation is to do what you can do now and not what you could of been done.
& honestly, you can never fail unless you don't try, if you fail at something, improve yourself and learn from mistakes. There will always be that devil in your head saying "I could of done better, I'm not trying hard enough" but really what is enough? We as humans are never completely satisfied, maybe satisfied temporarily but we always end up creating new dreams and goals for ourselves.
I don't know how old you are but you seem smart, I'm sure you will figure it out on your own, and I say this because while people can give you advice, it is really advice from their own experiences (usually) and that means it may not cater for your situation. Ultimately, you will discover your way, no one life is the exact same, only similar.
Sorry for this large essay containing poor grammar and punctuation but this is how I perceive your situation. I'm not saying that these are the things that you should do but just what you should think about or question yourself what is truly the core to this 'negative' environment. I'm going around in circles, I will stop now.
Anyways hope you have a great day!
This I know better than anyone. I hope to all those in your situation that you are able to see what's happening around you at an early age. It's not normal to be told you are a pos by age 6. I thank the infinite intelligence for giving me the ability to completely disregard what they think of me and to give no credence to their opinion. Once I did that my life changed forever. Now I could see everywhere the dysfunction, though not able to articulate that at such an early age.
I become someone very different all because I was able to use my own critical factor of the conscious mind all the time while around those who I love and want love from the most in my life. Though trying many many times I never was able to obtain that for which I searched, but I feel very blessed in my life and always have been through my own thoughts and the ability to think.
Awwww really feel what you're saying. Consider taking the journey to happiness and don't expect it instantly. Firstly accept yourself just the way you are, give yourself credit for surviving and for being alive. I found accepting myself just the way I am a huge relief - then whatever others do to you cant demean you. Be yourself and take the journey to happiness.... I'm on the journey too. Finally because I accepted myself, I can see that I have the power to create happiness. Hope this helps a little.
SMOOTH Performance Nice reply. Thanks. I've posted a couple of replies here. That in itself creates a happy factor because in helping others we help ourselves (become happier). And the old adage "we teach what we need to learn"! :)
+MrEtmer Can totally relate. I agree with some of the other commenters on removing yourself from the situation asap. But in the meantime, it would be good to sit them down and have a face-to-face serious discussion requesting them to stop with the negativity. Tell them that their feedback has been toxic to everyone involved, and it needs to stop!
Also, give them specific examples or times and topics where they said something to you and express how it affected you. Whenever they slip into their mode, stop it right away, don't let it fester by not countering their negativity or stopping them in progress. I've found that standing up for my thoughts and feelings are the most effective way to handle bullies. Yes our family and closest ones can be that to us. Anyway, they learn what you'll take from them and what they can get away with. When i've done the one-on-one approach, they usually stopped.
I can't be happy. It's been 19 years. And yes, still not happy
21 years
Do u want intention???
23 years now
33 years. I'm given myself 2 more years to see if I can change.
I'm not complaining but why is this in black and white
Why shouldn't it?
in black and white, i feel foucs on the speach.
+Abu Huraira Khan He wants to feel more artsy

your bnw filter made me unhappy ;-;
Sometimes Happiness is simply accepting your life for what it is loving the people in front of you and making the best out of what you have. I see a lot of people unhappy when they want what other people have. Online people make their lives seem perfect... its not true everyone is human with more struggles than victories... you need to know that you deserve happiness and when you believe that you will do what it takes to care for your emotional well being.
+Nijaels Music So true. One thing that I think keeps people miserable is that they are expected to achieve things that may not be possible for them and their lot in life. Yet they are mocked, ridiculed, put down for things by loved ones, friends, peers, or society that are not part of the greater plan for their lives and sense of fulfillment. It also wastes this precious life we have, and to really experience it the way it's meant to be.
“Happiness is having something to love. Greater happiness is when that something is everything. Happiness should not be a goal, rather it is a result of a life well lived. A life well lived is a life well loved. A life well loved is a life where you are one with All. That is, you are a part of All, and All is a part of you. Happiness is a byproduct of the process of increasing the quality of your consciousness."
Love is about other - whether it is about other persons or other everything makes no difference - love maintains the same quality. How far you spread it (how much you give deeply and broadly) is limited only by the size and quality of your personal reality (quality of your consciousness) .” ~ Tom Campbell
Thanks so much for all the words and happy energy just naturally spreading around the video, I even feel that happy you have mentioned via your tone your voice and expression, my day is coming back, I just have this day once in my life, so enjoy it ^^ thanks a lot
Who dislikes a video such as this one?! :O
Trolls
you know what makes me happy? watching Filthy Frank. he is the god of youtube

I still want to die

Push past this, it is just an era, you are stronger than that. I know how you feel. Push past it, and find the brighter side, even during a storm, the sun is still shining on the other side of those clouds.
Please get help. You're totally lovable no matter what and what's been awful can be healed. Your life can get better. There's more. You can be a gift to others. There's hope and love.
I was on the verge of depression and about to seek a therapist , but videos like these (and many TED talks) have shown me, guided me in how to pull myself out of my mentality and how to re-program my mind. I can say that I am on the pursuit of happiness and it feels amazing.
It's currently Christmas Eve and I'm crying my eyes out, this year has been tough and I don't feel festive or exited at all which is why I came to this video lol
LittleBlueBoxLPS im so srry this year has sucked for everyone but finding a positive attitude will help you get through the rest of it happy new year and I hope you find a way to be happy whether its helping others or listening to upbeat music and pushing the negatives away.
How are you today?
I'm so blessed watching your video Brandon... very inspiring, uplifting, amazing!!!

Love this series Brendon...I've always been a fan and now I see you really stepping into the inspirational shoes of guys like Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn. Keep it coming! This video really "changed my state" :-)
Wow, I hadn't thought about that idwa - the different perspectives we bring to the past, present and future. It is so true! Me and my family moved from London, UK, to a yurt in NZ in search of happiness only to find out that most of the happy drug comes froma state of mind, not your situation. Thanks for sharing!
Didn't really help with by depression, but nice video.
David Dionne than your depression isnt really a depression .
Really... I don't have depression because a video didn't help me.. really... Smh.
David Dionne A video isn't going to do much but tell you how to try to live. It's not going to work if there's a chemical imbalance in the brain. Talk to a Dr or a therapist, if that doesn't work try medication.
Debbie downer over here
Just go on a night time walk if its safe, unless yours not depressed anymore bcouse youre messege was sent 1 year ago and depression doesnt last that long.
I am so grateful to find these videos and great influencers to follow to improve my life and get pulled up to a higher level of consciousness. I am so blessed
Dude! This really helps! This helped me out a lot!😊🙂
thank you.

What happened to you? Your mom didn't buy you your favorite barbie or you broke your crayons? Lmao
No ONE and no THING can make you happy. Happiness comes from inside us,
not external. If you say that your boyfriend or wife doesn't make you
happy anymore, they not only can't make you happy but why should they?
It's hard enough for each human to evolve inside to find happiness
within themselves and no matter how many things they do for you, no one
can make you happy for real. Buying gifts and standing on your head for
someone just to make them happy is like putting a band aid on top of
cancer. Each person's journey in life is to find a way to be happy or at
least content on their own amidst all the ups and downs of life. If you
say you aren't happy due to a person, you already lose because you are
giving up your personal power to another person and being too weak to do
your own inner work yourself. Our life on earth is a classroom and how
much we evolve inside and how we choose to interact with others shows
whether we die winners or losers. Don't spend your life looking to
others or things to make you happy, because there are very poor, very
sick, and people who are alone in life that have found a way to be happy
despite their circumstances. I always remember this video that shows
these kids in Africa somewhere who don't have a playstation and probably
only eat once a day. They were laughing and smiling while hitting an
old flat ball with a stick, I see mothers who work 3 jobs to take care
of their 2-4 kids with no help from family who are joyful for their life
and don't blame the world. It's easier to blame others for your lot in
life but perhaps those with more are unhappy too. Life is a journey of
ups and downs, the ups are gifts and the downs are lessons, don't make
it more than it is. You WIN when you die HAPPY, but you die alone and
you die penniless because no ONE and no THING is buried along with you.
There are no 1-2-3's of happiness so making videos about how to be happy
is futile. Each person is unique in their personality, their emotional,
mental, and spiritual maturity and are surrounded by other unique
people and circumstances that are unlike anyone else, so no method of
how to be happy is going to fit anyone BUT YOU.
zoomanda BOOM: Quite an unforgettable handle! I, however, disagree. Plenty of folks are made happy and/or happier by outside circumstances. I've been single and married, and in neither state was I unhappy, but I don't think I WAS happy because something was "happy" inside me. Excepting folks whose brain chemistry won't "let" them be happy, I think most happy-making things are external to us, .e.g., friends, family, a good job, etc.
Love your inspiration. Makes me really think myself, from the inside and that brings a smile on my face, makes me happy. And we can't do a work or put our efforts effectively until and unless we are happy. So need a lot to be happy. You do such a great job. Your motivation is really important. Maybe I would have not reached this state of mind if your words wouldn't have reached us. Please keep on making more videos to make us enhance our life.
Thank you so much.
I feel the only thing that makes me super happy is when I have cramps from gas and finally release a 5 min fart. Now that's happiness!!!
Thank you Brendon, I'm filled with a sense of belonging and ready to rediscover me, what I was meant to be. I filled focus and ready to conquer my fears, my load in life.
What an amazing video, God bless you.
u brought a smile on my face, you relaxed my inner mind, in a few minutes, i woke up a little more! We need to be aware of our power on our own lives, to be able to create happiness and enjoy it for ourselves and spread the love... like you just do!
Thank you

What would u do if u become rich then died on next day?! I'm sure u will be absit 😒 😒
Money doesn't make everyone happy. You make yourself happy.
A great message... Embrace that power of choice and act with deliberate intent to generate joy and happiness into your life.
Blah blah, this doesn't work
Then you need something else. It does exist.
Thank you! I just needed to hear the simplicity of happiness again. Life gets so complex sometimes. Thank you.
The more I see a positive person, the more I become pessimist
Brandon, you are a beautiful person inside and out! I admire your wisdom and love your energy, enthusiasm and positive outlook on life. If we all had just a fraction of your compassionate attitude towards other people this world would be a much better place to live in. We all tend to pick up on emotions of others. After watching your videos I feel more optimistic, excited, empowered and energized. Gratitude!
Philosophers have solved the problem on how to be happy, but its not what he is talking about, since it this guy talks about happiness as a 'means' to an end, which is to be successful---a product of capitalism.
no really, it's been proven. you perform better if you're happy and you perform bad if you're looking for it. and be successful is too general, you can be successful at anything you do.
You must not have heard the part where he talked about being present as a large part of being happy. Also the parts where he talked about, keeping yourself healthy, and maintaining healthy relationships.
Christopher Ferrell Oh, I have heard all that. I mean "being present" is a given. The problem he needed to address is why people do not want to be in the present, and explain how it is solved. What I am arguing which you did not notice, is that I wouldnt call his advise something from the philosophers. As this was a very superficial take on happiness, and does not even scratch people's real motivation.
You're amazing! I literally just typed how to be happy! And boom there you were. I'm happy with myself. But I have not came to the idea of what is causing unhappy thoughts I know this and I see this. But your words changed the way I am thinking and if I have too I will be replaying this damn video so many times I'll be ingested with positive vibes day and day out! Bless you and your beautiful mind! New subscriber right here! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!
I really don't know if there is anything that is worth living for in my life but this video is great none the less.........good job
NamesDontMatter1992 I feel the same way. Last year was a lot worse but the longer i'm waiting it out , the better things are becoming. So, i guess all i'd say is wait it out.
Natalie Oueis i tried the waiting it out game, im no more a head of the life game but i sure am behind on projects, this fellow is uplifting, ill try some of his points. I hope its working for you. Hang in there.
TiMn8eR911 Thanks , I hope things work out for you too.
NamesDontMatter1992 Once you understand that life is perfect, you can surrender fully to it and enjoy every moment. Just read the short text about life called *The Present* and you'll see what I mean. You can get it for free at TruthContest. Cheers :)
Thank you man you really gave me a full perspective of how ungrateful I am and how I am going to change this
