A teacher once walked into his classroom with a bag full of balloons.🙌🏾
He gave each student one balloon and asked them to blow it up and write their name on it. After that, everyone dropped their balloons into one big pile outside the classroom.👌
Then he gave them one simple instruction:
“You have five minutes to find your own balloon.”
🤫
Everyone rushed into the pile. They searched, pushed and squeezed past one another but when the time was up, not a single student had found their own balloon.
The teacher smiled and changed the instruction.
“Pick up any balloon you see, read the name on it and give it to the person it belongs to.”
This time, something different happened. Students started calling out names and handing balloons to one another. In just a few minutes, everyone was holding their own balloon.
The teacher looked at them and said, “That’s life.”
Sometimes we’re so focused on finding our own happiness, success, or breakthrough that we forget someone else may be holding the very thing we’re looking for.
The funny thing is, they’re probably looking for theirs too.

Life becomes lighter when we stop seeing everyone as competition and start seeing them as people.😟
You don’t lose by helping others rise. Sometimes, helping someone find what belongs to them is exactly how you find what belongs to you.
