The Keys To Contentment


Is anyone ever really and truly "Happy" with their lives?

Everyone wants more than what they have right now, but I have found that being content with what you have at this very moment is what makes me "happy".  Its really not hard to figure out that if you have everything you need, even if you wish you had more, should make a person content.

My mother used to tell me that "you are where you want to be"  and its true for the most part.  You can say you would be much more happy if you hit the lottery or had a million dollars but in truth to get like that over night would just cause misery eventually.

So what are the keys to happiness?  I've come up with some key points that make me Happy.

1. Everyone needs money to survive but don't let your whole world revolve around whether or not you have a lot of it or not.  As long as your bills are paid, food in your belly, cloths on your back and a roof over your head.  You are in better shape than many others...Be happy you can provide for yourself and your family. 

2. Laugh at least once a day.  Find the humor in mundane things.  Just smile.  It's really hard to be miserable if you are Smiling, give it a try.  Don't be so serious all of the time, have some levity and silliness in your life. 

3.  Slow down, life sucks when you are always rushing around.  Stop and enjoy the small things in life.  The grass turning green after a long winter.  Flowers peaking their heads out of the ground after the last frost.  Life doesnt last forever, so enjoy it while you are still here.

4.  Find some alone time.  Everyone needs an hour or so a day to formulate thoughts or to just be quiet or scream at the top of your lungs.  As much as some people hate to commute, I don't mind it at all (except for the asshole drivers, see #3).  It gives me time to think, plan out my days and weeks or even the weekends. 

5. Don't be a Drama Mama.  Life gives you enough natural ups and downs, don't actively seek out more.  Don't make drama when you are bored just to have something to do.  Stay away from people that cause drama in your life.  Life is good when its peaceful. 

That's about all that I have.  Really life isn't that bad if you look at it with some objectivity. 

I hope you are as Happy as I am, if not, you need to try harder...

How To Be Unsuccessful in Life


Here are a few ideas that come to mind:

Be Impulsive: Allow emotions to control your thinking and behavior. Don’t think things through or look at things from different angles. Remain ignorant and whatever you do, do not read to enlighten yourself!
Have a Negative Attitude: Blame other people for your problems. Especially problems you created. And feel sorry for yourself.  Make sure you push anyone away that would offer to help you or give you any kind of empathy.
Be Overconfident: Believe that you know things you don’t actually know and be sure about it. Jump to conclusions. Believe you’re better at things than you really are.  And NEVER EVER EVER admit you were not right.
Be Unreliable: Always be thinking about yourself. Don’t show up. Do a poor job. Don't forget to ask others to do your job, if you have one, which you probably don't. 
Stop Learning: Don’t read. Don’t continuously educate yourself.  Or better yet, make sure you read every truly fake news website you can find, make sure the opinions are so seriously skewed that its either Crazy Left or Crazy Right.
Don’t Choose Your Friends Wisely: Hang around negative, under-educated people and take their advice to heart. Especially if they are Racist, misogynistic or just plain assholes.
Always Try To Fit In: Make decisions based primarily on what other people will think about you.  Try to always make everyone like you.  

I bet you know a few people like this?  I can assure you that people that have these qualities will have lots of problems and over the top drama in their lives.    

Just. Stay. Clear.  And don't Be that person!

Hello Spring!



I know, it's been a while.

Content is hard to come up with!

I was getting tired of all the Politics and stupid shit that happens in this world.  
Let's face facts, we are Americans, and we are Assholes, when it comes to politics.  Doesn't matter which side you are on.  

I have a few ideas i'm going to work on for this blog.  
I may only post a couple of times a month.

Been working on my Etsy shop which takes up a lot of time.  
If you are interested, the address is The Curious Charm

Anyway, I'll be posting something interesting soon...

Peace Out
