Most people would choose happiness if they were granted one wish. When America declared our independence, we did it for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Exactly what brings happiness is a mystery for most people. Some try to find it by pursuing wealth, love, adventure and climbing the corporate ladder. Many who reach the goals that they've convinced themselves they need to reach to be happy, however, find themselves still searching for happiness.

The conclusion that many heroes for a better world have discovered, is that helping others to be happy is the surest way to find happiness. Happiness Day is an opportunity to reflect and refuel and remember that the little and big things that we do all year long to try to make the world a better place are helping to make others happy. The more happiness there is in the world, the better the world will be.

On Happiness Day, go out of your way to try to make someone else happy. Smile, laugh and let yourself be happy, too.
