Find Happiness

A group of 100 people were attending a seminar when the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity.  He gave each attendee a balloon and asked them to write their name on it using a marker.  Then the balloons were collected and put in another room.  Each attendee was asked to go into the room and find the balloon with their name on it in under 5 minutes.  Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, moving others out of the way.  There was utter chaos.  At the end of the 5 minutes only a handful of people had found their balloons.  Now each attendee was asked to randomly collect a balloon, say the name written on it, and give it to that person.  Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.  The speaker shared, “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 and you will get your own.”

To receive the blessing of happiness, give yourself away.
