 What Is Happiness

Webster says:

Definition of happiness

1a: a state of well-being and contentment : JOY

b: a pleasurable or satisfying experienceI wish you every happiness in life.I had the happiness of seeing you

The Scientists say:

We feel joy in our bodies because of the release of dopamine and serotonin, two types of neurotransmitters in the brain. Both of these chemicals are heavily associated with happiness (in fact, people with clinical depression often have lower levels of serotonin).

Imaging studies suggest that the happiness response originates partly in the limbic cortex. Another area called the precuneus also plays a role.

The answer is convincing yourself to seek Happiness. If eating spinach doesn't make you happy, don't eat it. If a person makes you Unhappy, remove that person from your life. If a bad back makes you sad, do what you can about it and find a way to live a Happy life with it.

Many of the action you take to find Happiness have consequences. Divorce has consequences. No longer talking to a relative has consequences. Leaving a job that you hate to find one that makes you Happy has consequences.

To find Happiness in life you will have to accept the consequences. To find Happiness in your life you have to want it more than staying with the things that make you Unhappy. This is your life not theirs. You are in control because:
