Would you rather be happy and unhealthy, or healthy and unhappy?
Good question! neither. This is my personal desire. The reason is that everything is possible in life. Never give up hope that we can change things around, within our abilities and possibilities as humans.I am pleased to share that I am blessed to be both, happy and healthy! Most of the time is only in your hands to achieve both. Try it!If we know what our faults and problems are, there may be many ways to improve or change them. Personally, for me, it is always in God's hands what I can achieve or not. It is mostly up to HIM, if I do my part. Being disciplined with myself and other, pays back a lot already. Remember that good deeds and bad ones go back to where they come from.All the best!
Is it healthy to pretend to be happy?
No, it is not healthy.When you pretend to be happy when you are not, when you pretend that everything is all right, when it is not, YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELFLying to yourself effects in a screwed up view of the world, and reality. It may be pretty to look at the world through that lens of lies, nothing but rainbows and unicorns frolicking happily on grass that is greener than astro turf, BUT IT'S IN YOUR MESSED UP HEAD, IT'S NOT REAL!I'm currently observing an epic downfall of a man that build a magnificent organization. He seemed to have a mastermind, building this huge success, leaving his competitors in the dust. When he walked, people noticed and people were honored to cast their gaze on him, they'd line up for hours just to have the chance to shake his hand for a second or two, when he spoke, his words were like ointment to an open wound. He sure branded himself and his organization as second to none, but you see, it was all build on lies and pretenses. Big time lies and pretenses! Nothing in that deal was real, but it sure looked good from the outside looking in. I can compare his pretenses to this example: when he wanted the Mona Lisa painting for his entry hall, but couldn't get it, he had a huge canvas banner printed with the Mona Lisa. Looked impressive, looked like the real thing, EXCEPT IT WASN'T!His downfall started when his followers finally opened their eyes, and saw what he really is: a manipulative charlatan! Thousands already left his organization, and thousands more have one feet out the door as we speak. The banners are still there, but now people look beyond them, at empty walls, he still talks, but nowadays he talks schmuck that people despise like *&^%. People see through him. It was a matter of time before they would. Pretenders drown in their own lies.So what's so wrong with lying to yourself you might ask? You can't fix what is fake, that's what's wrong with it!It's like going to a plastic surgeon asking him to fix a scar on your face, but you are wearing a mask, and refuse to take it off. He can work on the mask, but when you go home and take off the mask, the scar is still going to be on your face.Cheers!Angie

Is it better to be skinny with an unhappy diet or fatter with a happy diet?
It’s better to a healthy weight with a happy diet. You do not have to choose between health and a happy diet, you know. My current diet advice describes my own diet, which is quite happy: a broach range of choices of tasty food, never a feeling of hunger, and no counting of calories—and I lost 35 pounds. And that was a while back: I’ve not regained because I stick with the diet (which I enjoy).
One of my friends is always happy. Is that healthy?
to Ansts: no I wasn't saying something awful going on in my life. I didn't say anything about my friend acting insensitive about something bad in my life at all. I meant that he may have a bad occurrence in his life, and he won't show any emotion but happy about anything going on.
Is it unhealthy to compare yourself to others?
Very unhealthy. Actually, that's one of the main reasons a lot of people get unhappy and for some, do the dumb things they do. Do not compare yourself to anyone, it's a completely unreasonable thing to do as everyone is different. That is a fact, not a comforting myth, everyone is different. Become who you want to be, and don't compare yourself to others. Upset that you're not as talented or kind as you want to be or such? Enjoy the challenge, and become who you want. Life is all about learning and the challenges that make you who you are.
