Founded in 1999 under the name of “Admit You’re Happy Day” by the Secret Society of Happy People, National Happiness Happens Day aims to spread the joy of being happy, and to persuade people to look on the brighter side of life.
The Secret Society of Happy People was founded in August of 1998. It is an organization that was created in order to celebrate happiness. The society encourages members to think about happiness in their daily life and recognize happy moments. They have two mottos. The first is “Don’t Even Think of Raining on My Parade” and the second is “Happiness Happens,” which is what this day is all about.
The Secret Society of Happy People believe that happiness is contagious, so all happy people should share their happiness with others. Other people should listen to happy news and they should be careful not to say anything that is negative. We live in a world today that is very negative and judgmental as a whole. A lot of people would agree that we have social media to blame for this. It has become the norm for us to pass comments on other people, including what they look like, what they are wearing, and so on! However, we have all heard our parents say that if we have not got anything nice to say, we should not say anything at all, and that’s an important part of National Happiness Happens Day.
There are a number of different goals that people should strive to achieve on National Happiness Happens Day, as per the Secret Society of Happy People. This includes…
Most people tend to remember the negative and bad things that have happened to them, rather than the millions of good things that happen to people on a daily basis. If we focus more on the positive, we will be able to spread happiness. This is the message of National Happiness Happens Day.
