Happiness helps us be and do our best. It is a feeling of contentment and satisfaction. The acts – as small as guiding a wandering tourist on a road or throwing a party for our sibling – all contribute to our happiness. Being happy, for whatever reason, is what keeps individuals going. A happy state of mind ensures a person’s overall well-being. Every year, March 20 is celebrated as International Day of Happiness. This day recognizes the importance of being happy in life. Researchers say that happy people are more successful and better at reaching goals.
Many factors contribute to the happiness of people. These include employment, standard of living, equality, freedom from discrimination, etc. The United Nations first announced the International Day of Happiness in 2012 and began celebrating it from 2013 onwards. The United Nations counts happiness as a fundamental human goal and aims to promote strong inclusivity and an equitable and balanced approach to economic growth for ensuring the happiness and well-being of all people.
