SEEKING HAPPINESS

[Carol Anne Kincaid~Paradis]

BLESSINGS

Every year you make a resolution to change yourself. This year, make a resolution to be yourself ~Unknown~ CAN YOU FIND THE CAT ? The Power of Co-operation No matter how capable, talented, efficient or extraordinary an individual may be, without co-operation from others, no single person can develop their personal skills. Neither can we implement a task without the assistance of a parent, a teacher, or mentor. For example, an actor or singer needs musicians, producers and directors and especially an audience in order to express themselves successfully, despite their innate capacity for creativity and entertaining others. Being able to appreciate the contribution of others and being open to that influence always facilitates the fulfilment of task or a talent. It is said that even God - as powerful as God is- cannot accomplish a divine task without the assistance of His angels.

Seeking Happiness

There were 100 people attending an all-day seminar on mental and physical health plus how to seek and find happiness in life.

At one point towards the end of the first morning session, the facilitator told the group they were going to do an activity and he gave each attendee one coloured balloon and told them to write their name on it.

The balloons were then collected and moved into an adjoining room. Then the 200 participants were asked to go into the adjoining room and were given not more than5 minutes to find their balloon.

What proceeded was total chaos as the 100 participants searched frantically for their balloon, pushing each other out of the way and bumping into one another whilst they grabbed a balloon, looked at it and inevitably tossed it to the side and continued to look for their balloon.

At the end of the 5 minutes, no one had found the balloon that had their name on it and they were all asked to move back in the main meeting room.

Then the speaker asked the participants to go back in the adjoining room and pick up one balloon at random, look at the name and then find and return it to its owner. Within less than 5 minutes, everyone had been reunited with their own balloon.

To wrap up the morning session the facilitator then told the group . . . ‘This is what it’s like when people are frantically searching for their own happiness in life. People push others aside to get the things that they want that they believe will bring them happiness. However, our happiness actually lies in helping other people and working together as in a less chaotic community.’

He went to say . . . ‘The moral of this story is you will more than likely find your happiness if you help other people find theirs.  In addition, helping others makes us happy because it gives us a sense of purpose.’

The Law of Karma

Spirituality teaches me to see my responsibility and what causes I am setting in motion by my thoughts, words and actions. I just have to fulfill my responsibilities and the rights will automatically follow, because they are the effect. This may not happen immediately, but it is inevitable.

The law of cause and effect, action and reaction, the law of karma is an integral part of spirituality. It gives us a basis on which to make right choices and create a beautiful future for ourselves and the world around us.
