A “Tail” of Happiness
Posted by timtom in Inspirational short stories on April 11th, 2009
Hello my amazing friend 
I was listening to an amazing interview with Arielle Ford last night on spiritual warriors radio - she read this Rumi quote from her book ‘The Soulmate Secret’ and it just made me tingle so I thought I would share it with you.
“Ever since Happiness heard your name It has been running through the streets trying to find you.”
How wonderful is that - and so true. Happiness is always there and it’s always your choice to just let it in. Hearing this quote reminded me of a great little story that I remember hearing on a Wayne Dyer CD. I can’t find it so this is my version.
The was an old wise cat and a small kitten in an alleyway. The old cat saw the kitten chasing its tail and asked, “Why are you chasing your tail?”
To it the kitten replied, “I’ve been attending cat philosophy school and I have learned that the most important thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is my tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I shall have happiness forever.”
Laughing, the wise old cat replied, “My son, I wasn’t lucky enough to go to school, but as I’ve gone through life, I too have realised that the most important thing for a cat is happiness, and indeed that it is located in my tail. The differece I’ve found though is that whenever I chase after it, it keeps running away from me, but when I go about my business and live my life, it just seems to follow after me wherever I go.”
Oh stop the press - just found it on you tube - wasn’t too far off - here it is
