0:01 friends have you ever looked at someone
0:04 else's life and thought they must be so
0:07 much happier than I am perhaps it's a
0:09 neighbor with a big house a colleague
0:11 with a higher salary or someone with a
0:14 loving family we often forget to count
0:17 our blessings because we are too busy
0:20 envying others but who is truly happy in
0:23 life to answer this let me take you
0:27 through an insightful Story Once upon a
0:29 time there was a beggar who roamed from
0:31 Village to Village asking for
0:35 alms one day he arrived at a farmer's
0:37 house he knocked on the door but heard
0:40 no response since the door was slightly
0:43 ajar he peaked inside to see if anyone
0:47 was there what he saw melted his
0:49 heart the farmer was sitting with his
0:52 family his wife and two young children
0:55 playing and laughing the children clung
0:57 to their father with joy and the whole
1:01 family exuded warmth and happiness
1:03 the beggar convinced they hadn't heard
1:04 him called out
1:08 again this time the farmer's wife came
1:09 out with some grains and handed them to
1:12 him kindly the beggar thanked her and moved
1:13 moved
1:17 on however as he walked away he couldn't
1:19 stop thinking about the cheerful scene
1:22 he had just witnessed he thought to
1:25 himself what a beautiful family they are
1:28 so lucky to have each other the children
1:31 are happy the parents are content and
1:35 there's love in their home look at me I
1:39 have no one I spend my days begging and
1:42 at night I returned to an empty house to
1:45 cook and eat alone my life is so
1:46 difficult compared to
1:49 theirs but what the beggar didn't know
1:52 was that the farmer despite his loving
1:54 family had his own
1:56 struggles after the family finished
1:58 their meal the farmer turned to his wife
2:00 with a troubled expression
2:02 we don't have enough money for household
2:05 expenses I'll need to borrow 1,000 coins
2:08 from the money lender but I don't even
2:10 know if he'll agree to lend me the money
2:13 he said sighing heavily the farmer's
2:16 wife sensing his distress reassured him
2:19 don't worry go to the money lender he
2:22 will surely help us she said with a calm
2:25 smile encouraged by her words the farmer
2:28 went to the Village money lender a man
2:30 who owned a cloth shop and off and lent
2:32 money on interest the money lender
2:35 agreed to lend him the 1,000 coins he
2:38 needed as the farmer walked away with
2:40 the money he noticed the stacks of cash
2:42 in the money lender shop and thought
2:45 look at him he's so wealthy and content
2:47 managing accounts worth
2:51 thousands here I am worrying about just
2:54 1,000 coins he must be so happy and stress-free
2:56 stress-free
2:58 however the money lender had his own
3:01 aspirations and struggles struggles the
3:03 next day the money lender traveled to
3:05 the city to buy clothes for his shop he
3:07 visited a wealthy Merchant who dealt in
3:09 enormous business
3:11 transactions while at the merchants
3:13 office the money lender overheard a
3:15 conversation about profits the merchants
3:18 assistant reported we've made a profit
3:21 of one lakh here and two lakhs there
3:22 Goods have been successfully delivered
3:26 to Ohio in California the money lender
3:28 was astonished he thought here I am
3:30 feeling proud about my small profits of
3:33 a few thousand coins but this Merchant
3:36 deals in lack he must be the happiest
3:38 man alive what the money lender didn't
3:41 realize was that wealth and success also
3:43 come with their own set of problems that
3:46 evening the merchant received terrible
3:48 news one of his Investments had incurred
3:52 a loss of s lakhs his head throbbed with
3:55 stress and he felt completely defeated
3:58 to make matters worse he had to attend a
4:00 Grand Banquet hosted by a government
4:03 official although he was reluctant he
4:06 prepared himself and left for the
4:09 event at the banquet the merchant
4:10 noticed government officers
4:13 Commissioners and influential figures
4:16 mingling with ease watching them he
4:19 thought look at these people they are
4:22 the happiest they command Respect power and
4:23 and
4:27 influence compared to them my life feels
4:29 insignificant but even these powerful
4:32 individuals were not immune to
4:34 challenges after the banquet ended the
4:37 host a government officer returned to
4:40 his home with a heavy heart despite the
4:43 successful event he felt overwhelmed by
4:45 the pressure of pleasing everyone as he
4:48 lay down to rest a servant brought him
4:50 distressing news about a significant
4:53 financial loss in one of his Ventures
4:56 his stress compounded and he lamented
4:59 what a life hosting parties managing
5:01 pces it's
5:04 exhausting just then he noticed a beggar
5:05 walking past his window singing a
5:10 Carefree tune the officer SED look at
5:12 him he has no worries about profits
5:15 losses or status he is the one who's
5:19 truly happy little did the officer know
5:20 this was the same beggar who was getting
5:23 jealous of the Farmer's Life earlier
5:26 this story reveals a profound truth that
5:29 everyone has their struggles yet we
5:31 often look at others and assume they are
5:34 happier than us we Envy the lives of the
5:36 Rich and Powerful thinking they must be
5:38 free from
5:40 worries however happiness is not tied to
5:43 wealth power or status if you wish to
5:46 find true happiness stop comparing
5:49 yourself to others focus on your own
5:51 life and appreciate what you have there
5:53 are people out there who would gladly
5:56 trade their lives for yours there was
5:58 another man in a small Village near the
6:00 mountains he worked worked as a stone
6:02 cutter breaking stones from the
6:04 mountains for a living this man was
6:07 content with his life every day he
6:10 worked hard from morning till evening at
6:13 the end of the day he returned home
6:15 carrying the little money he had earned
6:17 he would spend time with his family and
6:20 then sleep peacefully this routine
6:22 continued for many years one evening as
6:24 he was walking home after finishing his
6:27 work he began to think is this really a
6:30 life worth living every day I break
6:32 stones from morning till night and earn
6:35 just enough to survive I struggle to
6:38 make ends meet for myself and my family
6:41 life feels so hard sometimes I wish
6:43 there was some magic or power that could
6:45 make all my desires come
6:48 true he reached home had his dinner but
6:51 his mind was Restless he couldn't stop
6:55 thinking if only I had some divine power
6:57 I could fulfill all my
7:00 wishes with these thoughts in his mind
7:03 he went to sleep that night he had a
7:06 strange dream in his dream he saw
7:08 himself returning home as usual after a
7:11 day of hard work but as he walked along
7:13 the road he noticed a massive house that
7:16 he had never seen before the house was
7:19 beautiful Grand and
7:22 luxurious the thought came to him if
7:25 only this house were mine if I could own
7:27 such a magnificent home I would be the
7:29 happiest person alive
7:32 and as soon as he wished for it the
7:34 impossible happened he became the owner
7:38 of the grand house for a moment he was
7:40 overjoyed he couldn't believe his wish
7:43 had come true so easily but before he
7:45 could fully enjoy his new life he heard
7:47 loud noises
7:50 outside looking out the window he saw a
7:53 huge procession passing by in the middle
7:55 of the procession was a powerful
7:58 politician people were shouting his name
8:00 and cheering for him everyone in the
8:02 crowd seemed eager to catch a glimpse of
8:05 him seeing this the man thought I may
8:07 have this big house but I am still
8:10 insignificant compared to this leader he
8:13 is so powerful and admired by everyone I
8:16 wish I were a politician respected and
8:17 cheered by
8:20 thousands as soon as he thought this his
8:23 wish was granted and he became the
8:25 politician in the middle of the grand
8:27 procession thousands of people
8:29 surrounded him chanting his name and
8:32 trying to get closer to him for a moment
8:35 he felt proud and Powerful but his
8:38 happiness didn't last long the Sun was
8:40 shining brightly that day and the heat was
8:41 was
8:44 unbearable the man now a politician
8:46 wasn't used to standing in such intense
8:49 sunlight the heat made him dizzy and
8:52 soon he fainted when he regained
8:55 Consciousness he thought to himself this
8:58 politician isn't the most powerful being
8:59 look at the Sun
9:01 it is so strong that it can make even a
9:05 powerful leader like me collapse I wish
9:07 I could be the son nothing would be
9:11 stronger than me and just like that he
9:14 became the Sun as the sun he could shine
9:17 his light across the entire world he
9:19 felt Invincible believing there was no
9:22 one who could challenge his power but
9:25 this happiness too was shortlived after
9:27 some time dark clouds began to gather in
9:30 the sky the clouds covered his light and
9:32 stopped it from reaching the Earth the
9:36 man now the son realized even I am not
9:39 the strongest these clouds can block my
9:42 light I wish I could be the clouds they
9:45 are more powerful than the sun his wish
9:47 was granted and he became the clouds
9:49 floating freely in the sky he felt
9:52 powerful thinking I can block the
9:55 sunlight and go wherever I want but soon
9:58 a strong gust of wind came and blew the
10:02 clouds away the man now a cloud realized
10:05 even the wind is stronger than me I wish
10:08 I could become the wind he became the
10:10 wind and started blowing with great
10:14 force he felt Unstoppable thinking now I
10:17 am the strongest I can move anything I
10:20 want but as he continued he encountered
10:23 a Giant Mountain no matter how hard he
10:26 tried the wind couldn't move the
10:30 mountain the man now the the wind
10:33 realized this mountain is stronger than
10:37 me I wish I could be the mountain and so
10:41 he became the mountain immovable and
10:43 strong he thought now I am truly the
10:46 most powerful being nothing can challenge
10:47 challenge
10:50 me but as he stood there something
10:53 unexpected happened he began to feel
10:56 pain it was as if someone was hitting
10:59 and breaking him apart looking around he
11:02 saw a man with a hammer chipping away at
11:04 the Rocks of the mountain the mountain
11:07 realized this man is stronger than me he
11:09 can break me apart with his hammer I
11:11 wish I could be like
11:14 him but this time his wish wasn't
11:16 granted the pain of being chipped away
11:19 continued to grow until he woke up
11:22 startled and sweating looking around he
11:25 realized he was in his bed he saw his
11:27 reflection in a nearby mirror and
11:29 finally understood
11:31 I couldn't become what I wanted because
11:35 I already am that man I'm a stone cutter
11:37 the same man who can break the
11:39 mountains this realization struck him
11:42 deeply he thought I have been chasing
11:44 other people's lives and wishing to be
11:46 something else but I forgot who I really
11:49 am I forgot to appreciate myself and my unique
11:50 unique
11:53 abilities this part of the story teaches
11:55 us a powerful lesson it's good to learn
11:57 from others but it's wrong to Lose
12:00 Yourself by trying to become someone
12:04 else each of us is unique created by a
12:06 higher power with our own special
12:08 qualities we waste so much time
12:10 comparing ourselves to others and
12:13 wishing for their lives but we fail to
12:16 see the greatness within us we must
12:18 learn to accept ourselves and recognize
12:19 our own
12:21 strengths the moment we Embrace who we
12:24 are the desire to live someone else's life
12:25 life
12:27 disappears that's when we can truly
12:30 start living our best lives
12:32 the story now moves to a powerful King
12:36 who ruled over a vast Kingdom he had won
12:38 many battles and expanded his Empire
12:39 with his bravery and
12:42 intelligence his people lived in peace
12:44 and prosperity under his Reign and his
12:47 kingdom became a symbol of strength and
12:50 stability by the time he turned 56 the
12:52 king had achieved everything he had ever
12:55 dreamed of despite his power and wealth
12:57 the king began to worry about the future
13:01 of his Empire his only son the prince
13:03 was 16 years old a young and
13:06 inexperienced boy the king knew that
13:08 ruling a kingdom required more than just
13:11 age it required wisdom discipline and
13:14 the ability to lead he wanted to prepare
13:16 his son for the responsibilities that
13:19 awaited him one day the king called the
13:23 prince to his chamber he said my son it
13:26 doesn't matter whether you are 16 or 56
13:28 the world will respect you based on your
13:31 actions and your strength everyone wants
13:33 respect but respect isn't something you
13:37 can demand you must earn it the king
13:39 continued never ask anyone to respect
13:42 you begging for respect is a sign of
13:45 weakness instead become so strong and
13:47 valuable that people have no choice but
13:50 to respect you do you know why people
13:53 respect the ocean it's because of its
13:56 power the ocean never asks for respect
13:58 but people admire and fear it because it
13:59 is so mighty
14:02 the king paused to let his words sink in
14:05 then he said if you want people to
14:07 respect you make yourself strong in
14:10 every aspect of life always keep your
14:12 promises because that will make people
14:15 trust and admire you be kind and respect
14:17 others and they will naturally respect
14:20 you in return the prince listened
14:22 carefully as the king shared another
14:25 important lesson never stop learning
14:28 life is full of challenges and every
14:30 challenge teaches you something new even
14:33 if you think you know a lot there is
14:36 always more to learn youth is the time
14:39 to face difficulties and grow stronger
14:41 the more challenges you overcome the
14:44 more prepared you'll be for the future
14:47 the king's tone became more serious as
14:50 he said this is also the time to focus
14:52 on building yourself don't get
14:55 distracted by fleeting Pleasures or the
14:57 pursuit of things that don't matter
14:59 strengthen your mind and character
15:01 character so that when the time comes
15:04 you can achieve your goals remember if
15:06 you don't make sacrifices for your
15:10 dreams you will end up sacrificing your
15:13 dreams he added when you start working
15:15 toward your goals some people will try
15:17 to hold you back they might be your
15:20 friends your family or even people you
15:23 trust they might laugh at your Ambitions
15:25 or try to drag you into activities that
15:28 waste your time and energy these people
15:30 don't want to see you succeed because it
15:33 reminds them of their own laziness and
15:35 failures the prince looked confused so
15:38 the king explained further some
15:40 friendships are only for temporary fun
15:42 when you stop doing the things they
15:45 enjoy they will try to bring you down
15:46 they don't want to lose the
15:48 entertainment they get from spending
15:51 time with you but remember you don't owe
15:54 them your time or energy if you let them
15:57 hold you back you'll regret it later the
15:59 king then shared a harsh truth
16:01 if you are not willing to give up
16:03 short-term Pleasures for your long-term
16:05 goals you will face regret in the later
16:08 stages of Life your youth is the time to
16:12 build yourself not waste it when you
16:14 focus on your dreams you'll meet new
16:16 people who will support and understand
16:19 you prioritize those who share your
16:21 values and goals and distance yourself
16:24 from those who don't the prince asked
16:26 but what if those who hold me back are
16:30 people I love like my family or friends
16:33 the king replied wisely love them from a
16:36 distance respect them but don't let them
16:39 stop you from achieving your dreams your
16:42 purpose in life must come first to
16:44 achieve it you need to develop
16:46 successful habits and stay committed to your
16:47 your
16:50 path sometimes this might mean leaving
16:52 your comfort zone or even feeling lonely
16:55 but that's not a bad thing the king
16:58 smiled and said spending time alone can
17:00 help you understand who you truly are
17:03 and what you really want in life it's
17:05 during these moments of solitude that
17:07 you discover your strengths and your
17:10 purpose always remember happiness
17:13 doesn't come from wealth or status it
17:15 comes from knowing and appreciating
17:18 yourself friends our today's story gives
17:20 us an important lesson that every person
17:23 has their own challenges and struggles
17:25 we often think that someone richer or
17:28 more powerful than us must be happier
17:31 but that's not always true even the
17:33 wealthiest people have their own worries
17:36 and problems if you want to live a happy
17:38 and fulfilling life stop comparing
17:41 yourself to others focus on what you
17:44 have and make the best of it someone
17:45 else might be dreaming of living the
17:48 life you have right now happiness
17:50 doesn't come from having everything it
17:53 comes from appreciating what you already
17:57 have in the end the king told his son
17:59 always strive to become the best best
18:02 version of yourself don't try to copy
18:04 someone else's life discover your own
18:06 strengths and use them to make a
18:09 difference when you do this you'll stop
18:11 feeling the need to live someone else's
18:14 life and you'll find true happiness so
