Everyone
experiences an unhappy mood sometime, but a
few are unhappy most of the time. Those who live a habitually unhappy
life probably do not where to look for
happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, but few know what happiness really is. Following incident is simplest remedy for the
problem.
Once a group of a
small group of people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker
stopped talking and started giving each one a balloon. He asked each one to
write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were
collected and put in another room.

At the end of 5
minutes hardly one or two could find their own balloon. So many were muttering what a foolish task
they did.
Speaker then asked each
one to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was
written on it. In less than five minutes everyone had their own balloon
in hand and a smile on the face.
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.
And this is the
purpose of human life. Helping others
is not only good for them and a good thing to do, it also makes us happier and
healthier too. Giving also connects us to others. It builds a happier society
for everyone.
Giving is not all about
money - we can also give our time, ideas and energy. The true Art in Giving is to give from the heart
without any expectation of a return. True giving comes from the same place
inside you as your deepest happiness, that is why selfless giving gives deepest
pleasure.
