Enjoying International Happiness Day!






Millions around the world have celebrated Happiness Day since July 2012. Today, that number has grown enormously. In some instances, we are celebrating the entire week now. Many are suffering from mental health issues that make them sad or uneasy; this day, significance is even more prevalent. International Happiness Day allows everyone, no matter who they are, an opportunity to feel good and be happy about people and things in their life. It also affords one the gift to love and approve of themselves.


International Day of Happiness has been organized since its inception by the United Nations to promote the idea that happiness is a fundamental human goal. After the first year, 2012 the day has been celebrated on March 20th. This year’s theme is “Happiness for All Forever.” It denotes our need to unite as one for human life, society, nature, and happiness on earth. This is possible if we all decide to shift our mindsets from one of negative energy and hate to one of positivity and love. Lots of work is needed, but it is not impossible with happiness.
