HAPPINESS COMES FROM GIVING

nice story copied from someone....:-)
 
 
A rich lady went to visit a counsellor to seek out happiness. The counsellor instead of counselling her directly, called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors. The counsellor 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 cleaning woman  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 neighbour 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 cannot buy.

Param Pujya Gurudev’s Poem. *I Promise* • If I had to promise you something, what would it be ? • I can’t promise that you would always be comfortable Because comfort brings boredom and discomfort. • I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration. • I can’t promise that there will always be good times Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy. • I can’t promise that we will be rich or famous or powerful Because they can all be pathways to misery. • I can’t promise that we will always be together Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful. • Yet if you are willing to walk with me, If you are willing to value Love ♥️ over everything else • I promise that this will be the most rich and fulfilling life possible. • I promise your l...
