Puppies (a small dog / child dog) looking for happiness

Here is a beautiful story about a puppy looking for happiness in its life. His mother said, “Happiness is reside on your tail.” So then the puppy struggling to reach its tail. He is trying to chase its own tail everyday by rolling and rolling only to bite its own tail. He then ask to his mother, “Mom, I will not happy and will never happy, because I could not reach my own tail. Don’t lie to me, Mom.”, the puppy complain.

The mother said, “My child, happiness resides on your tail, the thing you need to do is just keep walking forward, then your happiness will always following you like your tail faithfully follow you whenever you go!”

“Chasing happiness does not mean chasing your tail. The more you chase, the more it will be far behind from you. The only way is just feel thankful and satisfied, be in one’s glory about your life with fun and vigorously. Then your tail will always fawn happiness to you, FOREVER!”
