POEM-1
WE ALL INVITE HAPPINESS
We all invite happiness
Happiness does not need invitation
Happiness is very much selective
It comes to the right home and right person.
We all invite happiness
Happiness does not need invitation
Happiness comes to us
Only after we deal successfully with problems galore
Only when we never think to surrender at all
Under any circumstance or failure.

POEM-2
HAPPINESS NEVER CHANGES IT’S COLOR
Happiness is created by you
Happiness is produced by you
For yourself and others too.
Happiness is created by others
Happiness is produced by others
For themselves,for you
And for others too.
Happiness is never selfish
Happiness believes in honest deal
No difference between black and white
No difference between rich and poor
Happiness is so simple and so pure.
“Wow! Happiness never changes it’s color”
It goes to the deserving
And maintains right timing
Happiness is never late never lazy
It is up to you
How you produce or create happiness
For others and for you.

POEM-3
HAPPINESS AND SORROW
Happiness and sorrow
Time and tide
Are they cousin brothers?
Their activities are very similar
They come and they go.
Happiness and sorrow
Time and tide
They are not very popular
They bother not
But they just do their duty
Nothing else they know.
Happiness and sorrow
Time and tide
Are so punctual
Who ever earns happiness or sorrow
They will reach there, to day or tomorrow.
Happiness and sorrow
Time and tide
They are not very popular
People have allegations
They bother not
Time and tide waits for none
Happiness comes in
But ready to go out any day
Rarely make everybody happy and everyday!
People always say
Sorrow is a tress-passer
It tries to enter into anybody’s house
Sorrow never feel sorry
For giving so much trouble and worry.
People also always say
Happiness is never happy
To last long in any one’s house.
People complain about
Time and tide
They are very much ruthless
They come and go….
Perhaps they only give the addresses of the people
And they are the one who send happiness and sorrow.
Take care of the time
Give due importance to the tide
Do good to yourself
Do good to others
Make this a habit
Make this a ritual
Good deeds will bring you positive results
Happiness and joy will visit your home again and again.

STORY-1
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
There was once a group of 100 people attending a seminar on personal development.
In the middle of the talk, the speaker stops and decides to run an impromptu group activity. He hands out a balloon to each attendee and tells them to write their name on it.
The balloons are then collected and placed in an adjacent room.
The speaker then instructs the 100 attendees to enter that room and, within 5 short minutes, find the balloon with their name on it.
Pandemonium breaks lose as they charge in pushing and colliding with each other as they desperately search for their name.
The 5 minutes pass and nobody succeeds.
The speaker then tells each person, to pick up any random balloon and give it to the person whose name is written on it. Within a few minutes every one has their balloon back.
He then said, “What just happened with those balloons is exactly what happens in search of happiness. We frantically look for it all around us, not knowing where it is”.
“Yet happiness lies in the happiness of other. By giving them their happiness, you get yours”.
MORAL OF THE STORY
Happiness and fulfillment rarely come from selfish pursuits, but almost always come from doing good deeds for others. By helping others will help ourselves.

STORY-2
SECRET OF HAPPINESS
A wealthy man lived in a city. He was a very big businessman and he was not short of anything but still he was always worried and restless.
One day he went to a Hermitage in a village to meet the sage. The man told his problem to the sage that he has no shortage of any thing but still he is always worried.
The sage heard his problem and said-come tomorrow, I will tell you how to stay happy free of worry.
The man reached the Hermitage of the sage at the same time the next day. He saw that the sage was looking for something outside his Hermitage.
The person said – Guruvar (sage) what are you looking for? May I help you! The sage said – I am looking for my ring, which is lost.
Hearing this, the person also started searching for his ring with the sage. Even after searching for a long time, the ring was not found, then the person asked the sage – where did your ring fell?
The sage said – My ring fell in the hut of the Hermitage, but it is very dark there, so I am looking for the ring outside the Hermitage.
The person asked with surprise – when your ring fell in the hut, why are you looking out here??
The sage said – this is the solution to your problem.
“Happiness is inside you, but you are looking for it in money and foreign goods. The entire sea is inside you, but still you are looking for water outside with a spoon. Money or property is important in life, but happiness can not be bought only with money”.

- Don’t cry over split-milk. Don’t remember bad experiences of the past. Better to learn something from it and try to forget the bad experience and just move on …. move forward.
