He is not at all. Only a few bring it up in themselves. It is brought up, because this desire is not incorporated genetically. You might think: what about the instinct of self-preservation? However, unconscious attempts to save their lives do not prove the ability to enjoy it. People who love and appreciate their age have several similar features. Here are the most important ones:
- cheerfulness, optimistic mood of thoughts;
- the ability to pass through difficulties with dignity;

How to love life
Follow the call of the heart - “Ace Ventura”
The eccentric, slightly adventurous detective on searching for pets Ace Ventura is a vivid example of affection for his business. His profession is strange, rare, but why does he do this? Because it contains three signs of “favorite things”:
- benefit. Loss of pets is a real tragedy for many;
- love. Asa likes his occupation, he feels needed, recognized;
- skills. The detective knows his work, successfully doing things one after the other.
If you erase the veil of film, humor, you can see that this is a common everyday situation. If a person likes a business, he knows how to do it, while bringing benefits to the world around him, then this activity cannot be let go.
What happens in reality? Due to the pressure of society, dependence on money, the race for prestige, many refuse to call. What does this lead to? For the same depressions, addictions, neuroses, diseases. Therefore, it is better to always listen to your heart. If there is no opportunity to earn well in the area of interest, let this business remain as a hobby. The main thing is to save it.
And “Ace Ventura” shows how important pets are. They themselves bring happiness, delight in difficult moments, learn to enjoy small joys.
To allow yourself a drop of mischief - “Mask”
Stanley Ipkiss is a polite, delicate man. And everything is good, but everyone around it is frankly used. How does a young man stand against mockers? Yes, it does. Like millions of other people in reality.
The situation remains unchanged until one moment. Stanley accidentally finds an ancient mask in which lies the power of the god of mischief and deceit Loki. And everything immediately falls into place: there is a pretty girl, the offenders remain punished, justice prevails. But in real life such a mask is not to be found, what to do?

- eradicate stiffness, fears;
- openly express your emotions;
- find a drop of fun, positive in everything;

Living with the truth - “Liar, liar”
The one who lies to the rest will be tormented by conscience or the consequences of a lie. He who lies to himself closes himself from happiness. How can you enjoy living someone else's life?
Fletcher Reed's lawyer does not represent his profession without lies. He has time to hang noodles and his family. In the end, he lies to himself, thinking that work for him is the main treasure. As a result, the man almost loses his son, almost ruins his career, almost loses his only true friend - the elderly secretary Greta. It is not trivial, but it is the truth that saves him from all misfortunes, if not in a direct way. What happens to such Flats if they don’t come to their truth? They:
- lose loved ones, friends, remain lonely;
- lose themselves, the real meaning of life, landmarks;
- experiencing the constant obsessive feeling that something is missing;
- suffer from neurotic disorders, outbreaks of aggression, apathy;
- acquire a tendency to depression, illness on the basis of psychosomatics, addictions;
- as a result, they do not achieve anything because of tiredness, sadness, loss;

Believe in your strength - “Bruce Almighty”
Bruce Nolan is a typical pessimist and whiner. He has a favorite job, a loving girl, even fans of his journalistic activities. But the guy is not enough - he raves about promotion. Apparently, for constant reproaches, the higher forces decide to teach Bruce a lesson, and he loses his job. Does any awareness come to him? Not. Then the man is waiting for a meeting with God himself, who bestows his own strength, power.
And the truth is that each person has his own strength. To open it, to engage, you do not need a higher mind, cosmos, mantras or karma. Just want to, for example:
- decide on what seems impossible;
- overcome fear;
- increase self-confidence by going to a psychologist;
- pay less attention to public opinion;
- discard all excuses, lamentations;
- from thoughts, ideas to move to action;
- look for personal motivations.
However, this movie has another morality - responsibility. Each act brings its own consequences, which are best thought in advance. And if the idea does not harm anyone, then why is it not yet implemented?
Take everything from life - “Always say yes”
All opinions, the actions of Carl Allen add up to one big word "no." He denies himself entertainment, personal life, self-realization, even in meetings with friends. By coincidence, the protagonist gets to the training, where he promises to answer all questions with an agreement. What is the result? Karl meets his girlfriend, gets a raise, respect for friends, the attention of the former wife and a rich life. What is the conclusion?
No, to say “yes” absolutely in all cases is perhaps not the best idea. But it is advisable to agree on:
- assistance offered;
- interesting perspective work, even if it requires the risk of leaving the old one;
- various hobbies, looking for yourself in almost everything;
- developmental activities;
- good deeds that do not harm yourself;
- light adventures to help unwind, earn new impressions;
- something new at least occasionally.
To appreciate every moment - “Christmas story”
Ebenezer Scrooge is the most greedy old man in the world. He does not care about others, he hates holidays, considering them a waste of time and money. Bruzga and selfish. So it was before meeting with the ghost of the old partner and the three spirits of Christmas.
Rethinking his own behavior, outlook on life, Ebenezer builds relations with his nephew, gets rid of greed, becomes a respected citizen. But his main achievement is vitality, an understanding of the value of time. How not to repeat the story of old Scrooge, shown at the beginning of the film:
- do not postpone joy at another time;
- live for today;
- appreciate the little things;
- learn to be a friendly, open person;
- cultivate positive qualities in oneself, strive to minimize bad ones;
- develop optimism, healthy excitement to events, activities;
- be condescending to other people's vices.
