Leadership And The Quest For True Happiness

Leadership is about helping others find themselves; and guess what; you'd also find yours - that is true fulfillment. Let me make it very simple and straight to the point. This analogy concerns you and everyone around who is in search of true happiness.


During a lecture presentation, a group of 50 people who attended a seminar were selected. It happened in a dramatic manner. As lecture was on progress, suddenly the guest speaker stopped and started presenting to each person a balloon. Everyone one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another single room. Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their respective names written on within 5 minutes.

Just imagine, everyone was frantically searching for their names, pushing and colliding with each other, and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloons. But, it didn't stop there, a game changer was introduced. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Guess what happened; Within minutes everyone had their own respective  balloons right in their hands!

Moral Lessons

The speaker began; This is exactly what is happening in our lives and in the world today; everyone is frantically looking for his own happiness all over the place, not knowing where it really is. Now listen to this; Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. What do you do!?

Simple; Help them Find their happiness and you will get your own happiness too. And this is the purpose of human life. Learn to put a smile on someone's face, and you will also smile in due course. This is how life was structured by the Almighty Creator Himself!

Leadership is about helping others find themselves; and guess what; you'd also find yours - that is true fulfillment.
