Why Wait To Be Happy?!

[SeahorseyPrincess]

Someone just mentioned this in their letter to you, which you opened on camera, and I'm so glad they did! This is so true and helpful, thank you <3

[EglenVika]

thank you

[muhammad15l04l1993]

I created a playlist called 'snap out of it'... if any of you are feeling depressed, you should go through it :) it always cheers me up.

[luc59457]

Life must be a lala land for him. Sux

[luc59457]

Wealthy people are often happy, because they are happy to be simply. SO they save lots of money with this ideology, but the ones that are overly happy, like mr.buckleys, couldn't cough up a solution to fix an economy other than to be happy. He's just too happy to be thinking about the unhappy things of an economy, etc. Maybe this is his weakness because I never seen him talking about unhappy things. Yes, I said weakness.

[luc59457]

I also want to say something about People and in relation again to 1:17.. People in this world are so darn wasteful often as a result of that. Good video.

[luc59457]

Good video for once: The part I like is around: 1:17.. You just gotta be happy to be. You can be giving someone shit and still be happy, try it out, I bet you never thought it was possible, I bet the person you try it with will be like wtf? lol

[dog2547]

Great video really! this video makes me happy :)

[ange39nz]

Thanks for reminding me of a philosophy that I've adhered to for years. I was a bit down tonight and just started searching You Tube for "happiness" and stumbled onto you (sorry, hope I didn't bruise you). I love how you're plain, simple speak actually describes that "Abundant Life" that the Bible promises us. Most people don't realise that it's up to them to live life abundantly and not really related to circumstances at all. Cheers! :-D

[OscarBaldwin]

your best video!

[WholeMindedWellness]

Happiness is a choice, I agree! :-) It is not really circumstantial as we would think it is. Most of us focus on the negative and don't notice the positive, but that doesn't mean there is not positive everywhere. So why can't we focus on the positive and not notice the negative? It is possible! :-) I did a video that talked some about this... it is the first vid that plays first on my channel. Have a wonderful day all! :-)

[Pablomf1]

Fantastic video, amazing person. Today I'm gonna follow your grate tips because I've been feeling a little bit stressed and overwhelmed about work. But I choose to be happy, we deserve it.

Thanks for a video that has made me laugh and cry.

[kemicalromanc15]

Choices are everything. Love you Buck. =D

[happymimi16]

good video I'm finally grasping the concept that happiness is a choice

[rorelia1]

thank you for sharing your happiness

[heyyitslaura0829]

im glad you posted this! you're amazing. I've commented on like 3 of your videos in a row. they just keep on getting better and better, honestly.

[Feldman4Lyfe]

YAY!

Semi-vintage Buck!!!!!!!!

[PillowiePanda]

you're amazing Buck just amazing,i'm tearing and just want to bear hug u! ;)

I would give so much to have someone like u in my life or be someone like u

oh sorry I can't help thinking over it! :)

[xdarkxflowerx]

I know you can't rely on YouTube comments to make you happy, but I hope our comments make you smile anyway. :)

[iJulia29]

thank you

[EmilyTheEccentric]

Buck, I love you(: You're so sweet and so inspirational(: cyberhugs<3

[vlogbeckylove]

happiness is #winning

[Dani09094]

buck, you're are amazing. I'm gonna make the choice to be happy now :)

[blondesrock17]

this is exactly how i think, and i try to explain to people why im so happy and im like "well why would i choose not to be?", being querky and being myself makes me the happiest and that will never change

[Megatheria]

"When i get sad i stop being sad and being AWSOME instead."

Somebody posted it on FB, there were peoploe commenting that it's from How I met your Mother. The one who posted it said that it was actually said by someone who has to live on a wheelchair due to dissablity. Yeah, life gives you lemons, just make beef fillet with lemon sauce :D

Thank you Michael for pointing it out :D

[Rlupin3]

I came here from your annotation in today's video (Please think highly of yourself)

And the feeling of Happiness just got doubled! XO

Luv You buck!

[BlueRoseFire]

Thx buck this actualy cheered me up from a depressing day( cratch that week*) & I believe the same thing... I just somehow forgot. anyways Thank you so much for the reminder :)

[somebody2like]

Your bare knees made me happy. :D

[onyxman8]

I'm glad I saw this due to your reTweet. Sends the message people need to hear. I'm happy, partly because of you and the other Youtubers I enjoy so much.

[guitargurl818]

i often watch this video and it reminds me to be happy :) i find it very touching, thank you michael buckley xx

[Nancy4591]

So not HD!! lol Insane how big the difference is!

[wetthecheat]

WR2 <3's gays!

[Dermatillomaniac]

This video has gotten me through some really tough times! I am in college now and have watched this video so many times...especially the first few weeks!

[rockin4shred]

I love him!! He dosnt care about what others think an he knows who he is!

[GirlWhoLikes2Comment]

The post-it note thing was dorky. ^_^ I'll try it sometime. lol

[missemsnitchesss]

my dad is always happy. he's not as excited seeming as you he is calm some of the time but he always finds something to be happy about. my mom said that's what attracted her to him. she get's so negative sometimes but then my dad always manages to cheer her up. he is my hero. i try to be like him but it's tough sometimes.

[UpLinked97]

Thank you this acctually touched me and at the end I acctually had a tear in my eye :'] you are amazing :]

[djalternegro]

you are amazing.

[mipake]

I've saved this on my facebook and youtube. Sooo many people have come to me and told me thanks for posting it in my info section, simply because it makes so much sense.

And I think the best thing that goes hand in hand with this is resolving to be proactive about any problem that comes your way. There is ALWAYS something you can do about something, even if its just how you think about it. Like you said, "It starts with a choice".

Thanks michael!

[godlydrmr]

No pants FTW XD

[freakylocz14]

He's gay. Gay=Happy

Enough said

[BrittanysMusicVideos]

haha i DID fave this and i DO watch it over and over :D

[Cheeky0x0]

I need to get counceling. I have something hurting me so much right now. And I hope to become happier. :'[[

[satellitedreams80]

Thank you Buckley!

[rottiefan]

Here is a very good tip to improve your mood if you are ever having a bad day. It is also very easy to do. Watch the laughing baby videos on youtube because they will cheer you up and get you to start laughing. Try watching laughing baby by spacelord72.

[richardland]

the "if only i had" disease is a huge problem. really glad you posted this.

[suburbanhomeboy]

Yeah, dude! I finally "get" you. Great post.

[Cheeky0x0]

HAHAHAHA! The end is hilarious! To be honest, this is sucha great video, because it's happy! You are just one person in my online life who just cheers me up on bad days. So, much truth in what you say here that is why it's a fave and shared :D Happiness is contagious just like negativitu\y. Let's be cheerful! I Love you so much MB :D <3 XOXOXO

[PurpleFunnyChocolate]

I have a DAILY POSITIVTY - Something I love about my life every day of the year. Your happiness inspired that Buck - Love you! =] Xxxx

[capixie]

Thanks I needed this : )

[tristopiaTV]

With the post-its thing - that's true. Psychologically, if you tell yourself that life is great then you mind will believe you! It's a real step to happiness.

[TomNew1000]

TRISTOPIATV!!! WOAH

[Amberwrista]

"That's all!" And then you continue on for a minute and a half more. LOL Love you, Buck! Thanks for the vid.

[Nannyidk88]

ur added to my list to inspirations! congrats! also i love ur videos, really good and funny, i also dont stop my videos, i just keep rambling on. yeah.... ttyl!!!

[mgshortyx14]

sorry about your Mom Buck.

You're absolutely right. I wake up every morning and go to school and tell myself well school sucks, I can't wait till It's over.. but you're right.. I should enjoy this time while I can.I'm not gunna be a kid forever..

Tomorrow.. I'm gunna wake up with a smile on my face.. and start off the day right!

You're such an inspiration Michael.

[11lightweight]

Sexy man anyway kiss kiss lol

[DeceranPlane]

[kristenfabulous]

[tobeedetermined]

Awesomeness :)

[pot0tin]

I'm a happy person too ! :D

[julieta12]

Omfg you totally look and act like my ex!! That's so fn weird!

[dancesxinxrainx0]

faved.

;)

[Macnavor]

buck the problem is not that you talk to much ...BUT if a person talks over me in a conversation or never let me speak then I get angry cause there's not a conversation at all!!! So keep talking with your own rythm and don't worry with talking too much just live with your joy!!!!

[ashmess918]

this was really nice, it made me tear up, thank you for sharing

[emilymichelle1980]

Posted over a year ago and still affecting people (me included). Cool!

[meetmalz]

[javajules33]

I love the knees.....

SHA!

[stude444]

lol, touchy feely

[wolfwoodnyo]

Thoughts have so much power (especially your own about yourself)! You post-it notes are a great idea. Your video here moved me and this is the video that made me subscribe to you...even if it is a year old.

[LizzieTheSuperStar95]

[xxHeavenHateGirlxx]

You inspired me ^-^

[beautifullytragic19]

[I3ff]

[marksass]

I left my shirt in your house lastnight buck, can I have it back?

[jadeemacdonaldd]

you are so inspirational!

i love you Buck !!! :-D

<3

[smallstegosaurus]

It's inspiring to see someone refuse to get hung up on the bad parts of life and remember how much joy there is in the world! I don't know if I'll ever be as happy as you but this is certainly uplifting. Thanks!

[LYKUPCAKES]

i have an overwhelming urge to hug you. you're very inspirational and genuine, and your videos always lighten my mood. thank you so much.

[lintboy]

[LuvNinjaTurtles]

[hokagegirl12]

i'm always happy at my job which is fast food and the workers get mad at me for it and they always call me stupid or retard...it hurts..but i just put it aside like it never happened an cont..smiling and dancing around like i always do

[umbrella4190]

How can i be happy in my current situation? My girlfriend left me yesterday... =(

[lilanglev]

thats horible but things can always be worse

[randomestuffgirl22]

If your girlfriend left you the happy thing is that ok so she left you but since she's gone that meant that she wasn't the one so you know that you can look for the right girl don't worry, you'll find her some day you'll find the right girl. i bet your a really great person

[thomt2]

I did fav this one - a long time ago. and i do watch it over and over. i burned it onto a cd for myself to listen to. friends always tell me that I will never be happy. I have moved to Chicago (5 yrs) Dallas (3 yrs) and now back home in Vermont...and still...unhappy...i am waiting for my new life to begin...(ya know that song?) but it's words like yours that help people like me, even if just for a moment, remember that happiness is from within...and i can have it if I want it. Thank you... <3

[6yza]

[Danotto9797]

[beccaislikewhoa]

I basically had the worst day of my life today, since I've been super upset for no reason. I've been really really depressed for these past few days, up to the point that it's gotten me close to getting sick. However, I'm trying really hard to just be happy with who I am, what I do, what I have, etc. You being happy makes me a little happier. :]

[japakaaj]

I loved this <3 5 stars buck! you rock!!

[Thecomedyindian]
