How to get happiness? Story Solution

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 cannot buy.
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.
You can make your parents happy by making them comfortable with your attitude and the divine love.  You even can give surprise gifts, take them out once in couple days/month, so on so on.,
You can make your friends happy by cracking jokes, sharing the happiness by giving a good pat on their shoulders, giving and helping 'em with nice advises.
You may cheer-up your employees by motivation to do the best to the themselves and organization's growth.
Everything is in understanding things.
Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
