4 Hormones which determine a human's happiness.

As I sat in the park after my morning walk,

My wife came and slumped next to me.

She had completed her 30-minute jog. We chatted for a while. She said she is not happy in life. I looked up at her sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life.

"Why do you think so?"

"I don't know. Everyone tells I have everything needed, but I am not happy.

"Then I questioned myself, am I happy?  "No," was my inner voice reply.

Now, that was an eye-opener for me.

I began my quest to understand the real cause of my unhappiness,

I couldn't find one.

I dug deeper, read articles, spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense. 

At last my doctor friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest.

I implemented those and will say I am a lot happier person.

She said, there are four hormones which determine a human's happiness -

1. Endorphins,

2. Dopamine,

3. Serotonin,

and 

4. Oxytocin.

It is important we understand these hormones, as we need all four of them to stay happy.

Let's look at the first hormone the Endorphins.

When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.

This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then enjoy exercising because these Endorphins will make us happy.

Laughter is another good way of generating Endorphins.

We need to spend 30 minutes exercising every day, read or watch funny stuff to get our day's dose of Endorphins.

The second hormone is Dopamine.

In our journey of life, we accomplish many little and big tasks, it releases various levels of Dopamine.

When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home, we feel accomplished and good, that is because it releases Dopamine.

This also explains why most housewives are unhappy since they rarely get acknowledged or appreciated for their work. Once, we join work, we buy a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a new house so forth. In each instance, it releases Dopamine and we become happy.

Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?

The third hormone Serotonin is released when we act in a way that benefits others.

When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin. Even, providing useful information on the internet like writing information blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.

That is because we will use our precious time to help other people via our answers or articles.

The final hormone is Oxytocin,

is released when we become close to other human beings. 

When we hug our friends or family Oxytocin is released.

Similarly, when we shake hands or put our arms around someone's shoulders, various amounts of Oxytocin is released.

So, it is simple, we have to exercise every day to get Endorphins, we have to accomplish little goals and get Dopamine,

we need to be nice to others to get  Serotonin and finally hug our kids, friends, and families to get Oxytocin and we will be happy. 

When we are happy, we can deal with our challenges and problems better.

Now, we can understand why we need to hug a child/ spouse who has a bad mood.

So to.

Never waste time on discussions that make no sense..

 The Story of the Donkey and Tiger

The donkey told the tiger: 

′′The grass is blue". 

The tiger replied: 

′′No, the grass is green".

The discussion became heated up, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion, King of the Jungle. 

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming:

′′Your Highness, is it true that grass is blue?".

The lion replied:

"True, the grass is blue". 

The donkey rushed forward and continued: 

′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me please punish him".

The king then declared:

′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence".

The donkey jumped for joy and went on his way, content and repeating:

′′The grass is blue"...

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion:

′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"

The lion replied:

′′In fact, the grass is green".

The tiger asked:

′′So why do you punish me?"

The lion replied:

′′That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because , a brave, intelligent creature like you shouldn’t have wasted time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question".

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of their beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense... There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t. When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.

Winston Churchill's humour

 During WW II, a man was arrested in London for calling Winston Churchill, the then PM of UK, a fool.

The next day in the House of Commons, the opposition members were ready to roast the government for this. They shouted,

"Are we living in a police state Where we cannot call the PM a fool"?

Churchill's reply was truly disarming, 

“The man was not arrested for calling the Prime Minister a fool", he said, 

_"but for letting out a State Secret at a time of war"._

Thats the real sense of Humour...
