Our Search for Happiness

The title of my speech on Saturday was “Our Search for Happiness” in which I shed some light on the following questions:

- What is True Happiness?
- What is the main reason for unhappiness?
- Is it true that Happiness is within us?
- My journey inwards in search for true Happiness.
- How I found true happiness, nourished it and allowed it to blossom?
- Why most people will not find true happiness?

Finally, I shared one simple tip that can instantly shift your mood from one of unhappiness and depression, to a feeling of joy and worthiness. It’s simple; perform an act of kindness for someone else everyday. This means to make a contribution in some way or another. It could be something small as giving a piece of bread to a hungry man, or giving someone a compliment. 

I demonstrated the mood-shifting effect by offering a beautiful sunflower from my garden of happiness to one of my special friends at the Toastmasters club who has been feeling a little low recently. This brought a lot of joy to me, to my friend, and even the audience watching. This is the triple-power of performing a kind action, the giver, receiver, and even the people watching the act of kindness or contribution benefit from the shift into a positive mood.

So, make it a habit everyday to share a kind gesture to someone from your garden of happiness, and watch happiness grow exponentially in your world.
