Can you do this? If I do not look at my heartaches and pains from my past?!
Question: and don't worry about the future and money for this or that, I find that I have a pretty good life in the now. Can you look at your life in the moment and say you are happy?

Once recommendation is to 'live in the moment' and 'count your blessings', but this can be difficult or impossible when one has depression.
I take medication, and have made various lifestyle changes, to avoid more severe episodes of depression. When I live less healthily I do worry more about the future, and can feel bad about past events.
When I'm healthy and taking the right medication I do appreciate the good things in my life, yes. I'm happy to be 'content'.

I can say im content.
The basic point of living is to find your place in the world. If you ever think you dont have one then your wrong.
hope this helps,

Well, the past is the past, and it is best to look forward. That is the only way to be truly contented. Easier said than done. :o) But, I have managed to do it, and am doing pretty well. At this moment I am happy.
If i dont look at heartaches and pains from the past how can i improve in the future? if i dont worry about future and money, what will happen to my ambition? I think rather than not thinking about them you should learn to control them. I am not that good at it my self. But i will give you an example. For example, Why did i choose a marketing major when i have passion for psychology. Why did i say no to this chix knowing she is dam hot. And then next come the what ifs. What if i did that what will happen to my future. What if i did that instead what would happened? Will that be better or this will be better. And then next the emotion. Hmm yeah i shoulda done that and that then oh yeah i woulda feel better by now. NExt the regret, oh man why did i do that ? Next the comparison I bet if i am like A, i would have done that than this, but hmmm wait is A really like that?
Ohh oops i just told you my thinking patterns oh noes.
But yeah the main idea is cut the emotion bit that i wrote above and only apply what is practical.
By the way confucious once said the world will be a paradise if farmers are content being farmers, fishermen are fishermen, blah blah blah etc.
If you are truly happy living a simple life with a simple future than seek it and live with it.
I have an undying ambition left undone and here I am babbling about instead of sleeping in my warm bed.
Good luck
Don't really know about "happy" but I'm currently the best I've ever been, mentally. Hopefully, happiness will follow.
