You must be happy with yourself first! Spend as much time with your family as you can, do things together, with no outside disruptions. Go fishing, camping, bicycling, walking, play a game, whatever it takes. Just learn to enjoy each others company.

You have to choose if your obtaining your happiness at the expense of upsetting your family is worth it.  It is a personal decision and there is no right or wrong answer.  Sooner or later you will have to stand up for what you want in your life and not everyone will agree with your choices.  It is just a question of if now is that time for you?

If I could have anything it would be for my entire family to be there with no fuss  no arguring and everyone happy, just like it was 15 years ago before my mother passed. There is no way you can buy a wonderful family , but I use to have one and was blessed. When my mom died the family did too. This year is no different, everyone in the family will do there own thing and compete on who's family spent the most. What they are truely missing is the one thing that none of us can get back, OUR MOTHER!! So, here is just a little hint for all of you folks that are fortunate enough to still have a family. Enjoy it while it last. You only get a chance at one good one.

hey there I totally understand where you stand because I was there myself at one point and time. But first you have to evaluate everyone in your family to figure out how much they care for you as their child/sibling. your best shot would be to tell the family member(s) that you are closest to and most comfortable around in order to see how they accept it. you would be better off starting out slowly; however this approach may not exactly work for everyone. so all I can really say is start slowly, telling a few people at a time, and then find an approach that works for you. maybe have a friend (NOT a f*ck-friend) that knows (and is cool with it) present when you disclose. worst comes to worst, have someone else tell them when you are not present. I had a great deal of difficulty coming out to them myself, but all I can really suggest that you find a way that works...for you. I do not know your family, but if they really love you, they will accept you for who you really are.

Be honest with your family. If they love you they will come to accept your life choices. You have to be true to yourself and not live your life for other people.

Don't look for others to make you happy.....be happy with yourself.  Stay busy, stay involved, volunteer your time, take pleasure in the simple things that life has to offer.

Hi,\n\nI don't think you can make someone happy if they just don't want to be happy, try to find out what the problem is and get that person help if need be! It could be a deeper problem then you think!

You asked how to be happy and wholesome. Cool. You asked the question of non-Christian folk. OK. Lets remember what you didn't ask ... How to attain enlightenment, or get to heaven, or please any Deity. Fair enough. So we'll just stick to those first two things ... How to be happy ... Learn to be content with things as they are. That means to practice simple acceptance of other people, places, things, circumstances, etc. When you can accept things as they are you can live without trying to change those things or control those people or etc. You get the idea. While you're accepting others as they are in order to be happy don't forget to extend that same acceptance to your self. Its just a matter of letting everything be what it is, and knowing that its that way for a reason, and ... that's OK. So far ... HAPPINESS = ACCEPTANCE. Now, wholesome. A dictionary definition of "wholesome" is: #1; Promoting good health or wellbeing, healthful. #2; Improving the mind or morals. #3; Looking healty or vigorous. ... Whoa! You're not asking for much, are you? lol Its not that complicated, really. Give life a little thought. Keep your self and your space clean. Get some exercise. Try to eat a ballanced diet. Take a multiple vitamin daily. The health aspect isn't all that hard. That part about improving the mind and morals? A little more work. Improve the mind? Exercise it a little. Read. Watch a little History Channel. I think you know how to exercise your mind already. Just do it consistently. Your morals? That's simple. Simple ought never be confused with easy. Pick a moral code, and ... LIVE IT! Which one? Hey, not my call. Suggestions? Sure. Center your life on (and you don't have to be any of these things to use something they have that YOU find useful) ... The Wiccan Reede. The Jewish 10 Commandments. The "Golden Rule" of Jesus. Whatever. Picking is the easy part. That's simple. Now, living it, that's another story. Be consistant, but be loving with yourself when you make a mistake too. Just DON'T GIVE IT UP! BE CONSISTANT! And last, but not least, get out of self. You do that by helping others and being there for them. It also gives you the exercise you need in acceptance AND your morals. Neither of those work well in a void. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ ;-)

I believe that it is because you don't technically know what is going to make them happy.  You don't really know what their entire views and opinions are about the subject.  Trust me when I say that the only way to make someone happy is to make yourself happy first.  I'm going through a situation like that right now where nothing I do is good enough to make my Dad happy.  It's just a viscious cycle.

how do u feel about a family would be the first thing, because procreation is not recreation. the next would be where r u most comfortable. (please don't let it be the backseat of a car)!{ make sure u tell them where u stand on arse sex, because they all like to try}

create a positive attitude about yourself.  Be honest and try to include all in your life.  Your favorite family member is the one you are with at the time show it. If all are present show no favoritism but equal love and respect.  Soon you will overcome the feeling of being negative.
