WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY DAY
-
We enjoy making other people happy
Making other people happy makes us happy. We enjoy it even if we don’t know the person we’re making happy! Being kind to strangers invokes the same feelings of happiness as doing kind acts for those we know and love.
-
We want stronger relationships
We all want the absolute best for our family and friends so when it comes to showing them or telling them we want them to be happy, of course, we’re all in! Spreading happiness strengthens the bonds of friendship so we love today’s holiday for its simple contribution to stronger relationships.
-
It is better to give than to receive
Some people enjoy picking out the perfect gift they know someone will love. Demonstrating how well you know someone and care for them through a gift or even through another gesture of kindness gives us a sense of satisfaction and pleasure that is more intense than being the recipient of a gift ourselves.
