Where is Happiness?
When something makes us happy, our natural instinct is to share it with everyone. So, when we share stories of our joys, happiness, and achievement with others, it increases our joy as we see others happy around us. Happiness lies in sharing!

Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Speaker gave each one a balloon and asked them to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now, the participants were let in that room and asked to find the balloon, within 5 minutes, which had their name written, .
Everyone was frantically searching for their balloon, colliding, elbowing, pushing around and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes, only a handful of people could find their own balloon.
Now the balloons were put together again and 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.
And this is the purpose of human life.
Is this not what we are looking for?
