2. HAPPINESS
CHILDRENS CAMP 2013
BRAHMAKUMARIS RAJYOGA CENTER
MUMBAI

5. Happiness is pushing a drop of water.

6. Happiness is a FEELING
1. Happiness is not dependent on physical
objects.
2. Objects, possessions, gadgets are
designed to give us comfort.
3. Physical comfort is different from
emotional comfort. Happiness is a feeling.

8. Happiness is our Internal Creation
4. Happiness is our internal creation and can
be created irrespective of external comforts.
5. We use the objects as a stimulus to create
a response, but the response is our choice.
6. Different people create different
responses, using the same stimulus.

10. Happiness is a Journey
7. Happiness is not based on achievement. It is not at
the destination, it is on the journey.
8. Happiness is a state of being, created while working
towards the goal, not a feeling to be experienced after
achieving the goal.
9. Before I take the responsibility of those around
me, I need to take responsibility of my own thinking
and feelings.

12. Happiness is our Strength
10. When I am happy and take care of others, then they
will be happy.
11. Happiness is a stable state of mind irrespective of
situations, and hence happiness is our strength.
12. Our wellbeing is dependent on our Physical
Health, Mental Health, Social Health and Spiritual Health.

14. Happiness is my Own Creation
13. Happiness is not dependent on people. No
one can make me happy and I can’t make others
happy, till we want to do it for ourselves.
14. No one is responsible for my hurt, pain, fear
or anger. It is my own creation in response to
their behaviour. I have another choice.

16. STORY

18. The history of the baby frog.......
Once upon a time there was a bunch of baby
frogs....
… participating in a competition.

19. The targetwas to get to the top of a high tower.
A crowd of people had
gathered to observe the
race and encourage the
participants.....

20. The start shot rang out.......
Quite honestly:
None of the onlookers believed that the
baby frogs could actually
accomplish getting to the top of the tower.

21. Words like:
"Åh, it’s too difficult!!!
They’ll never reach the top."
or:
"Not a chance... the tower is too high!"

22. One by one some of the baby frogs fell off…
...Except those who fastly climbed higher and higher..
The crowd kept on yelling:
"It’s too difficult. Nobody is going to make it!"

23. More baby frogs became tired and gave up...
...But one kept going higher and higher.....
He was not about to give up!
At the end everybody had given up, except the one
determined to reach the top!
All the other participants naturally wanted to
know how he had managed to do what
none of the others had been able to do!

24. One competitor asked the winner, what
was his secret?
The truth was.......
The winner was deaf!!!!

25. The lesson to be learned:
Don’t ever listen to people who are
negative and pessimistic...
…they will deprive you of your loveliest
dreams and wishes you carry in your heart
Always be aware of the power of words, as
everything you hear and read will interfere
with your actions

26. Therefore:
Always stay…
POSITIVE!
And most of all:
Turn a deaf ear when people tell you, that you
cannot achieve your dreams

27. Always believe:
You can make it!
