Celebrated throughout the world on March 20, the International Day of Happiness was created by the United Nations General Assembly on June 28 2012. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, “The pursuit of happiness lies at the core of human endeavors. People around the world aspire to lead happy and fulfilling lives free from fear and want.”
We know that there is much misery in the world, but choosing happiness is still a worthy goal. If you have the health, freedom, and flexibility denied so many in the world, being less than happy doesn’t serve anyone.
Let’s get you started with a pledge I created for my readers and subscribers:
Take the Happiness Pledge
Each day when I awake and discover I’m still alive
I know I have another chance to grow, to learn, to thrive
So as I enter the world anew I will bypass the door marked CRAPPY
And with a smile on my face and a song in my heart,
Walk through the door marked HAPPY.
