International Day of Happiness : To love and be loved!!!
Our lives are driven by our happiness. Finding something to cling to in life that brings us joy and allowing it to direct us is crucial. Though we experience a wide range of emotions, happiness and hope are the two that give us the most energy to look forward to the following day. Seeing the happiness in the things we do, the people we want to be, and the future we envision enables us to envision the life we will lead in the days ahead. Happiness gives us hope for a better tomorrow, which is essential for human life. The international Day of Happiness is celebrated annually to raise awareness of the significance of happiness in our lives.
Date: march 20 is designated as the international Day of Happiness each year. The big day falls on a wednesday this year.
History: A resolution to declare march 20 as the international Day of Happiness was passed by the UN General assembly on July 12, 2012. The special day has been observed on the same day each year since that time.
Significance: "Obviously, it is a wonderful day! Contentment is a basic human want. According to The United Nations on its official website, the General assembly of the UN acknowledges this objective and urges for "a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes the happiness and well-being of all peoples." The purpose of the international Day of Happiness is to raise awareness of the importance of happiness in inspiring people to pursue their dreams and aspirations and lead better lives. It also encourages the eradication of poverty, general well-being, and sustainable development.
