Blog: Happiness

In school we’ve started this project. Really, it’s been going on for a few weeks, but my personal project is just now beginning.

We’re pretty much finding a way to spread happiness around our community.

My personal project is something I find to be good, something small, but happy. I’m a little scared that people won’t enjoy it, though.

I’m handing out these index cards around the school, and they’re supposed to help people think of at least one thing that makes them happy. I’m hoping it catches on and people actually do it, considering it’s something that many people wouldn’t in this town. In addition to this, my friend and I are putting index cards with happiness/positivity quotes on people’s windshields or handing them to people, such as shop clerks and more.

It’s not really thought all the way through, though. Someone with a “Happiness is...” card just asked me what they should do when the card is full.

I’m just hoping this catches on. Even one smile a day can make someone feel better, even if it’s for a second as they think about something they enjoy.

Actually, that’s my goal. I want to be able to make people happy throughout my entire life.
