when Success Destroy Happiness | Story of a Man | Inspirational Story

[Music] once a man named Rohan felt deeply troubled no matter how much success he achieved a strange emptiness lingered within him in desperation he decided to visit a wise monk known for his profound teachings and calm demeanor hoping to find answers with a tired voice Rohan said Master you always talk T us that hard work and determination lead to success I followed this advice with all my heart I work tirelessly day and night with complete dedication I've achieved everything I thought I wanted a high-paying job and a luxurious house and I've even enrolled my son

in one of the best schools but I'm not happy I feel no joy no peace despite all my achievements my heart feels heavy I'm running so fast on this path yet the happiness that's supposed to come with success keeps slipping away please help me master I don't know how to feel happy anymore the wise monk listened patiently his calm eyes observing rohan's weary face then with a Serene smile he walked into another room and returned with three objects a glass ball a porcelain ball and a rubber ball he handed them to Rohan and said Son

toss these balls into the air one after the other at all times make sure at least one ball remains in the air Rohan was puzzled what does this have to do with my happiness he thought but he trusted the monk so he began tossing the balls at first it seemed easy but as the pace quickened he began to struggle the balls wobbled in the air and panic set in when one ball was about to fall Rohan quickly grabbed the glass and Porcelain balls letting the rubber ball drop he stood still for a moment catching his

breath turning to the monk Rohan explained I didn't let the glass ball fall because it's delicate it would have shattered I also couldn't let the porcelain ball fall it's valuable and might have broken but the rubber ball I let that go because it's tough and can bounce back the wise monks face lit up with a knowing smile exactly my child you just uncovered the answer to your problem Rohan frowned confused I don't understand how does this solve anything the monk said gently these three balls represent the priorities of your life the porcelain ball symbolizes your

family emotions and inner peace the most fragile and valuable parts of your life if you neglect the them they might break Beyond repair the glass ball represents your work money and achievements these are important but require care as they are fragile too the rubber ball on the other hand represents material desires luxuries like fancy cars expensive gadgets and other things you can live without even if you drop these they bounce back or can be replaced he paused and added Rohan you've been holding on to the rubber ball too tightly chasing after material success and luxuries

while neglecting the porcelain and glass balls your family and your peace of mind that's why you're unhappy life is about balance when life feels overwhelming let go of the rubber ball protect what truly matters Rohan felt a lump in his throat his eyes welled up as he realized how much he had been chasing the wrong things while his family and happiness slipped away he bowed before the Monk and whispered thank you master I understand now in the rush of life we often get caught up in the pursuit of external achievements believing that success money and

material things will bring us true happiness but in this Chase we may lose sight of what truly brings us peace our relationships our health and the love we share with those who matter most the story reminds us us that while striving for success is important we must never neglect the things that nourish our souls our family our wellbeing and the connections that Define us these are the things that if lost can never be replaced unlike the fleeting pleasures of material gain we must learn to find balance focusing not only on what we can gain in

the world but also on the simple meaningful things that give us lasting Joy true happiness doesn't come from accumulating possessions or status but from nurturing what matters most and cherishing those around us when we prioritize love peace and connection we discover a happiness that no external achievement can ever provide [Music]
