During a recent seminar, the speaker suddenly stopped what he was saying and decided to move the group on to an activity. In a highly unorthodox manner, a room full of balloons and the 50 people in attendance at the seminar lead to a valuable life lesson, that nobody saw coming.

The speaker first instructed people to write their name on a balloon with a marker.

The balloons were then collected and put randomly inside a room that was full of, you guessed it: balloons.

The attendees were then asked to enter the room and attempt to find their own balloon.

That is when the chaos erupted. For five minutes the seminar attendees blindly searched for their own balloon.

Obviously they all struggled int the sea of balloon madness, and nobody was able to find their own balloon. They were crashing into one another, pushing each other and frantically looking for their balloon. It was complete disorder.

So, the speaker offered a piece of advice. The attendees were instructed to pick up any balloon around them, then find the owner of that balloon instead. This made things much easier.

Because, after a few brief minutes of this, everybody had their own balloon once again.

The speaker told everyone what the meaning of this activity was, and that's when the life lesson became a reality.

"â€¦exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.Â Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life."

Pretty simply right?

Lend a helping hand from time to time and life becomes a lot easier.
