Once a group of 50 people
was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving
each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it
using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in
another room.
Now these delegates
were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name
written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their
name, pushing, colliding with each other, and there was utter chaos. At
the end of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began: This is exactly 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.

NB: The above story is made perfect in the scriptures below.
John 13:34-35, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." AND Galatians 6:2, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
MORE SUCCINCTLY: Hezekiah Walker's all time hit song, 'I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE,' reads in the first two lines of its first verse,
"I need you, you need me;
we’re all a part of God’s body."
Find your happiness today, by finding someone's needs and meeting it! You'd be shocked how much selfishness has robbed you of.
God bless and lift you as you seek his joy.
