I'm so sick of people saying that money doesn't bring happiness. It does, depending on what you are spending it on. Buying lots of stuff, focusing on the external won't bring joy. But money can bring opportunities that can make us so happy, give us peace and security. I have had extreme stress for years because of neighbours, employment etc. I can only afford a council place and wherever I live the neighbours are bad. If I had enough money, I could buy a detached house and never have to worry about neighbours blaring music ever again, or the other problems I have had with neighbours. I struggle with finding the right job and am not in a financial position to start my own business, self employment is too unpredictable and I need a steady income. If I was richer that wouldn't be a problem, I could be self employed and not have to worry about the instability of income. I don't want stuff but money would bring much more peace and stability and that would make me happy. Try struggling without money, and tell me you don't need money to be happy.

#9: the less you care about what others think of you, the happier youll be.
For me, this was one of the advantages of getting older: I dont care nearly as much what other people (specifically, people whose opinions arent important to me) think of me as I used to. I used fret and worry if I was told or sensed that someone didnt like me. Now if someone tells me that so-and-so doesnt like me, it doesnt really bother me: I just smile and respond something along the lines of, Gee, Im sorry to hear that, and usually change the subject.
All things being equal, I would rather have people like me than not, but if someone doesnt then thats just what happens in life. My response is to disengage from them as much as possible and that works very well for me.

Life is unpredictable, some changes will be unwanted but it is better to accept them than to grieve for the past or your potential future that you once envisioned that is gone. Yep, my eldest child has disabilities. That was so crushing, my whole life had to be rearranged around this fact. All the plans I had gone. I burnt out and struggled with depression for a few years. The other thing Ive learnt through all this? To be more empathetic, you can really never tell what people are going through so try to be kinder.

Some of these are true, except the time honored money can't buy happiness. Try telling that to a homeless person. I've never been homeless, but I have been poor. Now, I make a good living, & I'm comfortable, but I clearly recall what it felt like to be penniless, & without a scrap of food. This one ranks right up there with, If you want something badly enough, you'll get it. LOL. Will always wonder who comes up with this crap, & how anybody can say it with a straight face.

Every time I hear this line you should not care about what others think of you, I imagine narcissists rejoicing. Listen, you sometimes have to stop and listen and care about what others think of you, because we all grow up by receiving feedback from the environment.
I was occasionally told negative things about myself and they were true. By listening, I got to work on myself and improve as a human being.
As always, truth is in the middle, not in the extremes.

I stopped caring what people think of me years ago. its their opinion only. doesn't make it true. I know myself very well. I know what I will and won't do. I trust myself to know right from wrong. and think things through. weighing the consequences before deciding to proceed. of course I've made mistakes. but I don't let them define who I am. and don't make repeat mistakes

I once met 90 Year old lady Very Healthy who was looking after her 80 year old Dementia sister. I asked her what's her Secret to a Long Healthy Life. She said Finding things that gives us Peace Mentally & Physically also avoid the small evils as much as possible. Because they add up & tear away at our Life Force. For instance Slander, gossip etc.

Honestly, having money would help me A LOT being happier. I grew up in a family that was always fighting over money and they still do. Not having enough money was always and still is cause of many problems with no solution in my life and that makes time spent with family not being the most pleasant.

money can't buy you a lasting joy. it is the first time I heard it put it that way. Happiness can't buy happiness is not the right phrase. Because it does. the joy might last for a minute, an hour, a moment, it might not last for a week or for a year, but truly money isn't everything.

I've been dealing with a lot of unresolved trauma and I was doing good mentally and academically and socially, but for the past couple of weeks I have felt so down and depressed again. This has helped a lot. I need to get back in my groove of things. Be kind to myself as I heal.

Not having enough money can make life very difficult. Just ask a welfare Mom with two little kids who cant afford a babysitter and has to take public transportation to buy groceries. Enough money can being happiness, but only to a point.

I have known for at least a decade that what people think about you is really about them but I still cant find how to know when Im expecting too much from myself if I dont have opinions to compare.

This video inspired me to keep a book from now on, in which I write down what was positive and what I am grateful for every day.
I want to leave the negative energies behind me for now.

Beating yourself up will not grant you forgiveness.
Be compassionate towards yourself, don't punish yourself because one day you'll be deserving. You ARE deserving. Forgive yourself

Experiences also bring happiness. A quote from a gangster, Go have to make lots of memories, because at the end of the day, that's all you're going to have. - So true.

I too am trying to heal from unresolved trauma. I want to live a happier lifestyle more frequently. I have found that a gratitude journal helps. Love these videos.

I find the presented prescriptive advice, inspiring, but in the end not really applicable, in long run, to the tumult of everyday, competitive, cruel, reality.
