There are so many people that complain about the fact that they hate their lives and that they cannot find happiness with what they have. As long as you’re alive, you can be happy, and there’s always a chance to improve your life situation. Here are 10 ways how!

有那么多人都在抱怨这样一个事实，那就是他们讨厌自己的生活，而且从中得不到任何快乐。只要你还活着，你就可以快乐，并且总有机会去改变自己的生活状态。这里就有10种办法！

1. Start focusing¹ on the positive things about your life.

If you can’t think of anything, you’re still holding on to negativity. Let it go. What are the things about your life that you really love?

1.学会专注于生活中的正面事物

如果你一件也想不起来，说明还是停留在消极状态。把消极情绪都甩掉！想想你生活中真正热爱的是什么呢？

2. Stop complaining.

Even if you don’t love life, you don’t have to say it all the time. The more you say that you don’t love your life, the more you’ll enforce² those negative feelings.

2.停止抱怨

即使你真的讨厌生活，也没必要宣之于口。你说的次数越多，你受这种负面情绪的影响就越严重。

3. Don’t compare your life with someone else’s.

Your life can never be an exact replica³ of someone else’s. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to spend so much time stressing about what someone else has. If anything, you can take the happiness of someone else as inspiration⁴ to achieve your own successes, but not to feel bad about what you don’t have.

3.不要跟别人比较

你的生活永远不会是别人的复制品。因此，花费大量的时间去比较别人所拥有的是没有任何意义的。如果有，那也是别人激励了你去实现自己的目标而来的快乐。但是也不必为自己没有的而感到沮丧。

4. Do more of the things that you love.

Do you often complain and say that if only you had the time, you’d do more things that make you happy? Well, that’s not true. You do have the time! You don’t have to do very time-consuming things. Maybe you love crossword⁵ puzzles, or playing with your pets, or maybe taking a walk. Try to do at least one thing that makes you happy every day.

4.花更多的时间在自己热爱的事情

你是否经常抱怨说，如果有更多的时间，我就能做很多让自己开心的事情。事实并不这样。你有时间！你并不需要做那些多么耗时的事情，也许你喜欢填字游戏，也许喜欢和宠物玩、也许仅仅是散步。每天最起码要做一件让自己开心的事情。

5. Recognize that life is always changing.

If you feel down because you don’t have the perfect job, or are not as financially free as you would like to be, you need to recognize that your current⁶ situation is just that, your current situation. Things do change.

5.生活是变化的

如果你因为没有满意的工作，或者手头一直很紧而感到沮丧，要知道这些仅仅是现状！事情都是变化的。

6. Surround yourself with good people.

Pay attention to the company you keep. Are you always around complainers and Negative Nellies? If so, you need to realize that their energy can have a very negative affect on your own happiness.

6.多认识积极向上的朋友

注意一下自己的周围：围在你身边的事不是都是些怨气冲天和悲观消极的家伙？如果是的话，那么这些人的负面能量也会对你自己的幸福感产生极大的影响。
