HAPPINESS

:

This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who
complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was
empty, it had no meaning.
So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness.
The counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors.
The counselor then said to the rich lady "I'm going to ask Mary here
to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is listen to
her."
So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:

"Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son
was killed by a car.
I had nobody... I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat,
I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life.

Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work, Somehow I
felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let
the kitten in. I got it some milk, and the kitten licked the plate
clean.
Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and, for the first time in
months, I smiled.

Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me
smile, maybe doing something for people could make me happy.

So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who
was sick in bed.

Every day I tried to do something nice for someone.
It made me so happy to see them happy.

Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do.
I've found happiness, by giving it to others."

When she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had everything that
money could buy, but she had lost the things which money could not
buy.

"The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are; but on how
happy others can be because of you..."

Happiness is not a destination, it's a journey.
Happiness is not tomorrow, it is now.
Happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision.
Happiness is what you are, not what you have!

परोपकाराय दुहन्ति गावः परोपकाराय इदं शरीरम्।।
