Every year on March 20, the world observes the International Day of Happiness or World Happiness Day. This year’s theme, “Caring and Sharing” reminds us that lasting happiness comes from caring for each other, feeling connected and being part of something bigger.
On this day dedicated to joy, kindness, and emotional well-being, it’s good to pause and reflect on what truly brings joy and happiness in life. Let’s take a leaf out of the CAP book on The Secret to Happiness.
> We don’t need too many material things to be happy; in fact, having too much of them decreases our capacity for joy.
> Keeping ourselves free from greed, envy and the need to dominate others; developing a loving attitude; creative work and leisure; searching for knowledge and fighting for truth and justice – these are some of the most important elements that will make a person happy and fulfilled.
> Simple living and high thinking. Above all, deep feeling. That’s the basic recipe for inner wealth and a happy life. And possibly also for the survival of humanity.
