Happiness

Day 55

Listen to the story was interesting but not my favourite type of meditation

Happiness

I learned that happiness isn’t always getting you can get happiness by giving also

Inspiring

I learned that I need to work more on my self to give others with out any expectations ..

"There's beauty when you share with the people around you."

True is the saying, "Giving is better than receiving." Why, you might ask. This heartfelt story will tell you why. I learned that the happiness you receive when you give to people who are less fortunate is greater than the happiness you feel when you receive something from someone. Therefore, giving is, indeed, abundantly greater than receiving.

Take yourself out of yourself

Its easy to get caught up in a cycle of unhappiness when you are constantly focused on yourself. Focusing outwards, to help others, brings perspective and purpose and ultimately, peace and happiness.

Sadness

Helping others might bring joy and help the sadness/ emptiness you feel inside because you are bringing joy to others

Being Happy is easy

Happiness is a state of mind that can be easily attained while helping others.

True Happiness

In this story, I learned that sometimes happiness comes from making other people happy. Even though money can temporarily make you happy, it will never make you truly happy!

Spread Positivity

I learned to try and do something nice for someone every single day, it will make them happy and to see them happy it will make me happy in return.

I learned

I learned that happiness is a choice not a destination. I also learned that making others happy makes you happy. I think I will start doing something nice for someone everyday.

Kindness

I noticed that you can do one act of kindness everyday, and it will make a huge change in yourself and in the receiver

Happiness and kittens

Today the Universe brought me a story about an older woman who lost her husband and son, who was able to discover the happiness in giving happiness to others. The happiness in sheltering a homeless kitten. The happiness in giving a dzn muffins to her ill neighbor. And the happiness in working as a custodian in a hospital telling stories of discovering happiness to new patients asking the wrong questions in the wrong places.

It really works

I learned that opening up and making others happy really does make a difference and that you can not buy happiness happiness comes from the smallest acts of kindness in your life

The Pursuit

I learned that our happiness is too dependent on others and material items. The story at first caused me to feel sympathy and general emotions. (giving as a lesson. However, I’ve realized that my goal is not to pursue happiness (which can be influenced by others and/or material items), but to find joy in the garden of myself. Find solace in my own spirit and the power of love over my life. Therefore, my emotions and will be from a place of innocence again and my mind can be open and sympathetic to others and their needs. immovable and I’ll sympathize with the need to help others. Helping others will be my nature; Because I’ll always know there’s a piece of me that’s strong enough to withstand anything.

This is sad

THERE IS GREATNESS IN EVERYONE the cleaner was very inspirational

Preparing to sleep & Thinking about Tomorrow

I learned that I should try and help or make everyone I see tomorrow smile, even if I myself am not feeling happy or upbeat

Awareness of those around me

As I’m mostly house-ridden these days, I strive to stay aware of my wife and children who are with me daily. I TRY to fulfill their needs as I am able. I feel like I fail most of the time, and am constantly letting them down though.😢 I suppose I hope it’s enough for them that I’m here at all since I should have died! I know the long months I was away from home in the hospital after my massive stroke were VERY hard on them all... and I WISH I could somehow make it all up to them!

Ok

Helped me lose some extra energy might need one more to sleep though

Appreciation

As a medical student I spend most of my days doing for others. My attending, my resident, my patients; and it is an incredibly thankless job. Except when it's not. Once in a while I am able to truly make someone happy. Whether it's by tracking down a loved one or a hard to reach consult, sometimes it really is able to make someone's day. And that's when my day is made too; when everything, all this work and all these sleepless nights, becomes worth it.

Happiness

I love that phrase, “There’s beauty in life...” A good reminder, one I’m going to try to think about every day.

Give happiness

Deep down I realise that when I’ve done this, it really does make me happy. It’s easy to get lost and lose focus but equally it’s easy to correct course and remind yourself to be grateful and selfless.

Mary the janitor

I learned that giving to others creates happiness:) I felt a little distracted but I will focus on being in the moment next time

I feel much better :)

Sometimes you just have to calm down and look around you. You might not notice it, but people are struggling right along with you. You are never alone. But you can always help the people around you.

OTHERS

I realized that people need other people to be happy. Of course I already knew this. But it is good to refresh your mind.🙂

Experience

I learned that you must take things in from others POV and not just your own, and to be kind to others.

Review on happiness

I felt moved. Inspired. I want to bake my neighbor some muffins.

It’s all about perspective

I’ve heard stories like this before, and each time it causes me to step back and really try to use more empathy in my life. Sometimes it’s not just about yourself, and you honestly have to just reach out to others to find that happiness and inner connection. We’re all essentially just trying to make our way through life the best we can, and giving happiness to others is a mutual benefit to everyone. Spread more joy. <3

Try

It really moved me, because while others are struggling more intense things. They’re still finding

Happiness

It’s better not to take things for granted and that you have to reach deeper and think of the bigger picture

I learned fhag

By making others happy, and bringing meaning into the world through helping others, I will find true happiness.

Looking Outside Ourselves

Some forms of happiness comes from helping others. Sometimes a smile, a kind word to a stranger, or gifting someone for no reason at all will make someone’s day brighter.

I loved it!

I think it is so important to remember our roles in life. Above all our role is to serve.

Rerun

I had listened to this sweet little story before, but something had gone amiss at Aura and I wasn't able to make note of it then. It was served to me again this evening; I listened to it again, and am noting my thoughts now. Much of my life has revolved around serving others, it's the way I enjoy living my life, and I'm not likely to.stop this way of life anytime soon! As I reboot my career after my massive stroke, I'm hopeful that my life of service to others may aid me as I rebuild my business network and begin again!

Happiness

I felt good listening to that story and serious my minds thoughts just cleared away.

Happiness

Listening to that story made me realize that bringing happiness to others, made you happy as well. It’s crazy how one act of kindness can change somebody else’s day, and yours! I’m going to try to preform an act of kindness each day. I’ll make sure to pay attention to everyone around me. When someone seems sad I could simple go up to them and give them kindness by asking if they needed to talk about it. Or, you could simply compliment them. Or give gifts. Even the littlest actions can change someone’s day. Actually, I know someone who showed an act of kindness & it made my day a lot better. My friend had missed school in the morning for the dentist, and she came back with Starbucks for me and my other friends. Even if she did ask what we wanted the day before, it still makes your day a lot better and sets your mood more positive. I’m going to try to be kind to everyone and fill their days with happiness.

I learned...

I learned that life is beautiful and that we shouldnt wanna take it because everyones life is worth something to there loved one.

I leaneed

I learned that by the little things you do in life can change a whole opportunity to another.

I remembered

When I used to do community service more often, I used to feel so much joy. In fact, i felt so content while I was on a service trip, I remember laughing in my sleep. Does anyone else do this? It felt so special - like the joy was radiating out of me. I should give back more often. Perhaps I’ll start with my students.

Happiness

Now, doing this meditation reminded me what brings me true happiness—doing something kind for others and being kind to my pups. I’m really happy to have finally remembered that! I’ve been so distracted and upset about the awful things going on in our country and how bleak the future looks, I lost sight of the things I should be doing for others. I just bought my little great granddaughter a shirt that says something like “A little kindness can change everything.” I’ll try it.

Happiness

Very much appreciated this story. The idea of becoming happier by unselfish actions that make the lives of others better in some way, reminds of the interconnected nature of life and the beauty that lies therein. We need to be grateful for this beauty but we do often forget to recognise it.

Share

When you share with others you not only bring happiness to them but you bring happiness to yourself.

Wonderful story

Growth through pain and being of service. Seeking help and finding it where you least expect it. So many good take aways.

The Gift

The gift of the message in this story is timeless. I shan’t give it away, in hopes that you will be intrigued to take 3 minutes to listen. The story, told by an engaging storyteller, never gets old. Although it’s a timeless message, it’s vital to internalize in today’s world. Who’s around you?

Happiness

In this story, you learn that the more happiness you give to others, the more happy you will become.

One more listen

I believe this is my third time hearing this story. I'm miserably unhappy lately. The weight of my problems is overwhelming me right now. I've been working as hard as I can on what I have been tasked with, but I still feel stuck, and am feeling unhappier lately than I have in quite a while. 😢🥺😭

Happiness

Thank you for this message, I really needed today! Hopefully I’ll become a open, aware person, and I’ll learn how to be nice and to make peoples around me happy as well, by sharing what i am/have. I’m so grateful 🙌🏼

Happiness

We find happiness.by giving happiness away. Find ways to bring joy to others and joy will also come to your heart.

Happiness

Happiness is when you treat others with kindness . It comes from the heart

Giving

Giving to others is an important part of my changing mindset.

The happiness of giving

I do like to share with others, but it’s easy to expect something in return. I think giving for giving’s sake brings more happiness.

Being kind

I thought of doing good deeds and that maybe that would be something good to start.

Happiness

Thank you for this! I often spiral into unhappiness. I need to just BE happy.

Happines after loss

Life is to be shared. I just had to say goodbye to my little guy Toby, my cat of almost 14 years. Through compassionate euthanasia from the most wonderful mobile hospice vet, I saw my boy who was ready to go; gentle closed his eyes, accept death, and transitioned to his next adventure. I learned that so many other people do have gifts to share with those hurting, and who can dull the pain through giving. I learned that I too have gifts to share, and need to take that first step like the woman in this story, Thank you.

Helping others

I realized I relayed to this by ripping the lady at the grocery store 5 bucks for helping me today it made me smile that she was so happy it wasn't about the money it was about helping others

Being human

I learned giving is not to receive but being able do so will reward in the way that you need.

Happy

I learned that to be happy it helps to help others and feel the joy of giving.

Happiness

I learned that happiness is all around in people and my interactions not in things. Pay attention. Help others.
