Happiness has got a different definition for everyone. Some would be happy spending time with family, some spending time with friends, some find Happiness in shopping, while some find Happiness in having their favourite food, some find Happiness in pursuing their career, for some people living in their dream home would give Happiness.

An Amazing Story about Happiness
Once there was a rich businessman, but he was never happy. He has everything that is needed: money, successfully running a business, a big villa, luxury life, but he still feels something is missing in his Life. So, one day he met a sage and told him about his problem. The sage thought for some time and asked the man to return to him the next day to find the solution to his problem.
The next day when he went to the sage, he saw that the sage was busy searching for something in the garden, so he volunteered to help the sage; the sage said that he had lost his ring and was searching for it. In order to save time, he also started searching for the ring along with the sage. After spending some hours they could not find it. The man felt exhausted and started enquiring about a few details about the ring.
The sage told him that while working in the hut, he lost his ring; since it was dark in the hut, he began to search for it in the garden. The man was astonished and told the sage how we could search for a thing in a different place than lost. The sage smiled and said, exactly, now you got to know the real thing; how can you search for Happiness outside when it has to be inside you. The man understood the sage’s wise words and learned an important life lesson.
He understood that Happiness does not lie in earning much money but in sharing and helping people in their need. So, from that day on he started spending his time and money on charitable works and began to help people. The more people he helped the happier he became. So, the story’s moral is that Happiness is all about sharing and caring.

History of International Day of Happiness
International Day of Happiness is observed annually as part of the work done by the United Nations and Action for Happiness, a nonprofit group made up of people from 160 countries. The movement’s ultimate objective is to raise awareness that progress should not only focus on increasing profits or stimulating economic growth but also on well-being and human Happiness. In 2011, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution making happiness an important objective as an economic opportunity. Two years later, 193 member states of the UN celebrated what would become known as “International Day of Happiness,” an event that has continued since.
All take some time from our busy schedule and be happy and make others happy on this International Happiness Day; it’s because Happiness is contagious; every time we share Happiness or do something for others to make them happy, Happiness doubles. Let us be thankful and show our gratitude to all the important people on this day. Let us be kind and helpful to everyone we meet.
