Do something for your own joy

I am not starving nor do I have seventeen children to feed.

A little girl was selling flowers outside the music hall in New York. She was scolded by an onlooker at the site.


The little girl replied, ” I am not starving nor do I have seventeen children to feed.”


She continued, ” I sell flowers because I love flowers and enjoy selling them. If you care to buy, they are twenty-five cents each. If you are not interested, that is your business. God speed you on your way.”
She emptied five baskets in fifteen minutes.


When did you do something for your own joy?
