Serotonin Infographics

Earlier while cleaning our front yard, 

I remembered creating this infographics 

about serotonin several years ago.

 I'd like to refresh my memory so I opted to post it again.

Happiness Along The Journey

Got my share of ups and downs...We're all in the same life's journey.

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home. ~Matsuo Basho 

Happiness is a journey, not a destination; happiness is to be found along the way not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it's too late. The time for happiness is today not tomorrow. ~Paul H Dunn 

Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything. ~Norman Lear 

The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life. I do not mean that if you are good you will be happy; I mean that if you are happy you will be good. ~Bertrand Russell 

So much sadness exists in the world that we are all under obligation to contribute as much joy as lies within our powers. ~John Sutherland Bonnell 

Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember. ~Oscar Levant

Chasing Happiness

Where can we find happiness? Is it in front or behind us?

Is it in the future or in the past?

The story is told about a young lion that asked his mother: “Where is happiness?” The mother lion responded: “On your tail.” Upon hearing this, the young lion started chasing his tail, and spent the whole day doing so. Seeing the young lion tired and exhausted, the mother lion said: “Son, you don’t chase happiness. Just keep moving forward, and your happiness will follow.” 

Sometimes we make the mistake of pushing too hard the doors ahead of us, when all we needed to do is to pull. Or, trying to chase after a butterfly, when all we need to do is just to sit still, and let the butterfly come to us and settle on our shoulders. ~shared by Fr. Jerry Orbos SVD 

Come to me all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.  ~ Matthew 11:28

Complaints Counter

Sometimes, I  find myself on the same counter but  I have to remind myself to make  better action  instead of making unnecessary complaints.

Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter. ~Fred Propp Jr.

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time. ~Victor Hugo

Say and do something positive that will help the situation; it doesn't take any brains to complain.~Robert A. Cook

Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it. ~Anthony J. D'Angelo

The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. Try this for a week and you will be surprised. ~author unknown

Key To Happiness

Someone sent me this text message: 

 "The seven rules to be happy"

* Never hate         * Never worry       * Live simply

* Always smile        * Expect little       *Give a lot

* Have Jesus in your heart.

Easier said than done... but it all makes sense!

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. ~Og Mandino

Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination. ~Roy Goodman
