Happiness is a choice⁉️ Remember happiness does not mean you are problem free 😲 That kind of life doesn’t exist 🚫 As the Stoics of Ancient Greece observed, happiness is all about the quality of your thoughts 🤯
Happiness is not a destination📍, but rather a life-long pursuit. Joy can be anywhere at any time ⏰ Don’t limit yourself to searching for pleasure 😘 Enjoy everything & anything that makes you happy 🎉 Oprah Winfrey said it wasn’t until she learned to be happy that good things started happening to her 💯
History of Happiness Happens Month
The Secret 🤫 Society of Happy People (SOHP) started celebrating happiness with “Admit You’re Happy Day,” on August 8, 1999 in Irving, Texas.
In December 1998, it gained international reception 🤗, when it challenged advice columnist 📰 Ann Landers for discouraging people from writing happy holiday newsletters enclosed with their holiday cards 💌

Secret Society of Happy People Founder
📯 According to Wikipedia Pamela Gail Johnson founded the Secret Society of Happy People with the main idea 💡 of creating a “safe place” where people can share their happy moments 😀, without being discouraged by the parade rainers ⛈
The purpose is to give people advice for handling their unhappy moments 😔 & learning the lesson 👩🏽🏫 out of each and every 1️⃣ of them. Also to stimulate people’s right to express their happiness 📣 “as loud as they want”
“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” ― Abraham Lincoln
