Where can one find happiness?
This story is written from a video – credit NTD Inspired Life.
A beautiful, well dressed lady went to her psychiatrist saying that she felt unhappy and her life was empty and meaningless.
They psychiatrist called the office cleaner, an old lady and asked Mary to share how she found happiness.
Mary put down her broom, sat on a chair and told her story.
Her husband died of malaria and three months later her only son was killed in an accident. She could not sleep, eat and never smiled anymore. She even thought of taking her own life.
One evening a little kitten followed her home from work. It was cold and Mary let the kitten in and gave it some milk. The kitten purred and rubbed against her leg.
For the first time in months, Mary smiled. 🙂
If helping a little kitten could make her smile, Mary then decided that she could help others so everyday she tried to do something nice for someone. It made her happy to see them happy.
Since then, she started sleeping and eating well and have found happiness by giving it to others.
The rich lady cried on hearing this. She has everything that money could buy but she had lost the things which money cannot 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 !
