BEING HAPPY

BEING HAPPY

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected, mixed and put in another room.
The group was called and instructed to enter the room where the balloons were placed,  and  asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within two minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, fifty people colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 2 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker began— Exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness.
Is this not what you are looking for?
