Heaven is the happiest times of our lives--it's true bliss. It's our job to find "heaven" as many times as possible while we're here. Find happiness in the smallest things, and always make it count. If you can do this, you'll live a good, full life.
I try to have a positive perspective on life, however, sometimes it's just freaking difficult. I read a book by a Buddhist monk, named Thich Nhat Hanh. The book shared his philosophies about life, and I found it pretty inspiring. He said to find joy in everything you do; whether you're working, with your friends, or even doing the dishes. The biggest part of his philosophy is becoming one with yourself. Essentially, know yourself and be your own person, and always show others compassion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show compassion and know yourself. Okay. Not hard. :p
But I mean, really think about it. Try to find happiness in everything, it's easier said than done. And if you get a chance, I really recommend reading some stuff by this guy.
“Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
“People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
