Yes that is a baby sleeping holding on to his stuffed toy dog.

I promise that this will make you feel better.

this is a money and time back gaurantee. You will feel better after reading this hub on how to feel better. You will feel better. I already feel better how about you?

Can you imagine a preacher man who promises that no matter your problem in life that he alone can make you feel better, not even calling on his Lord. Well by golly darn it I have spent two hard years seeing if that is true. And I now know I can do it. Let us start.

No wasted time here and no wasted words. Let us take 5 points and make them clear:


1, Somebody loves you. (my number is 8580-736-4432 call it if you want)

2. You matter very much. Show up and boot up and be up. Somebody suffers more than you.

3. Birds are everywhere. They have great feathers, you are better than them.

4. Life sucks but you do not. Imagine what you give. You make me better than me.

5. If you read this, you add to me and make me better.

Now get off that pity pot and write a comment right here and right now and be felt!

I need your story to make this a real hub and article. I beg you to be you and sock it to me baby! I promise no matter what comment you write I will like it. And if it is too harsh just comment again and ask me to remove it. It is all good in Eric Dierker land where we try to "do like Bill" and live large on a day to day basis. So we even have room for curmudgeons and sad saps.

Most importantly that is a real phone number. Because most importantly we have room for you. Our burden around here is light, share yours with us.

Go ahead you old scrooge get up and free style dance and sing! What could be the harm, and what could be the benefit? We will not tell anyone.

Can you make yourself happier?

Truth now; are you feeling pretty good?

See results

Do you remember your first ventures in "wild" water and sand between your toes.

One of the coolest quotes ever, I mean ever, from a great teacher.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" I heard one almost exactly like it growing up with my Najajo buddies, the only difference was they changed heavenly father to Mother Earth. Both work for me. After all for me the Father made the earth.

Now if you can just go about worrying after reading that I have this next song for you.

Do I look crazy to you just because I am one obnoxiously happy dude?

If you are not having fun yet go make a mud puddle and jump it it. I believe that is scientifically impossible to do without having fun and laughing.

Feeling better is not always about happy, joyous and free.

Sometimes feeling better is about acceptance of how things are at the moment, being in the moment. Let us just say you just lost a close loved one. And you are extremely saddened as you should be. Well we think we can all agree this is no time to be happy. We can all agree that you need to go through the stages of grief in your way in your time.

They say that grief has five stages -- I do not think so. It has a repeat therefor six. denial, anger, acceptance of grief, bargaining, depression and acceptance.of reality. The first one is essential and may even prevent the depression. We must accept bad feelings and accept our right to feel them and that makes us feel better.

Hard difficult work.

At the moment of doing the work we are shooting for a goal, striving, sacrificing and trudging along. Very much not the time to be all happy, but to concentrate and focus on the task at hand. That is cool, that is sometimes the journey. I can tell you that hiking a tall mountain at over 10,000 ft. each step can be painful and hard to breath but each small break you can look back and see how far you have come. And it is a happy feeling and worth everything.

Such a sad song, but I am happy listening to it, go figure.

No one can make you happy it is an inside job.

Now hold on there you co-dependency worry warts! Yes another can make you happy, but it is up to you to let them. That is the inside job. To derive happiness from another is awesome. To become addicted to it is bad as with anything. My wife makes me happy. But I am not dependent on her for my happiness. Rice makes me full, but that is not all I eat.

So I think we can all see that this hub cannot make you happy until you first desire to quit being less than happy. Denial of things does not make us happy. Anger about things does not make us happy. Acceptance of that which we can change does not make us happy. Mainly that would be us and our behavior. Depression is a disease and we can do things about that. Despair is the result of projection negativity into the future and we can change that.

Take a man I know who is ugly. But as a youth he was handsome. Abuse and age took its' toll on his face and teethe and hair. But he got scripted into himself at the impressionable ages that he was handsome and so that is how he views himself and you know what? It works. He is a "comfortable handsome" these days.

But I know a very well built man who was fat as a youngster. He had embedded that he was fat. That is how he sees himself. That is something we must have the courage to change.

Wrap up to this bad boy article

I cheated but anyone who read this whole article is happier. Sorry they just are. How doyouI know? you ask. The answer is simple. If you got past the title you were looking for happy. I did nothing here to make you unhappy and just one thing, one picture, on sentence would make you happy if you tried to be.
