How to Enjoy Life

Life is not enjoyable only when you've taken the wrong path and slowly lost confidence, or when you are no longer happy with yourself. If it sounds like your life, you need to fix it!

Steps

1. Learn to be positive! If you keep moaning about your life, other people will only notice the bad aspects of your character and categorize you as a person who is 'Boring' - or worse!
2. Make a list of all the things you want to do and do them! For example if you've always wanted to audition for theater, go and do it! This will help to reduce 'hanging around' and wishing (this even applies if you want to be an astronaut : you might not effectively become one, but becoming savvy on astrophysics and space will make you realise you're capable of it).
3. Continue to try. One of the key things you need to remember is to never be discouraged - failure is a part of life and it happens naturally. If you're so disillusioned that you never want to try again, at least be comforted by the fact that you made an attempt.
4. Make a list of the things you're doing that you don't enjoy, and try to stop doing them (this does not mean drop out of school if you don't like studying!). If it's not possible to stop, try to see the positive side of those things and find ways to make them entertaining.
5. Find a hobby. You could take up collecting, photography or art. Don't spend your whole life doing it; the whole purpose of the hobby is to vary your routine and do something worthwhile.

Tips

• Ask others how they spend their time. If you feel like doing something they do, join them! Don't be afraid to ask!
• Get organized. You'll feel more in control and happier.

Warnings

• Do not think that drinking alcohol or taking drugs will make your life any enjoyable than it is now. Drugs deconstruct your ability to enjoy life, believe my experience.
