The main components of those elixir are:

We may have experience each of these ingredients many times in our lives, whether by our selves or in groups or may be all at the same time and those might have been when we felt life was good and we were happy. But for most life were fleeting and we were not aware of why we were having these feel good moments, and so we probably did not know we can make it happen again.
In all honesty life is not easy, so we need to take matters into our own hand and let life work for us!
