“Happiness is not something ready-made.  It comes from your own actions.”- Dalai Lama <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is happiness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think it’s just being happy. It can also be a state of ecstasy or fulfilment. Happiness is multifaceted. It has different meanings depending on the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live in a world where we’re often confined to our own spaces and engaged in our own pursuits, but caring and sharing can spread positive energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 20, 2025, the United Nations commemorated the International Day of Happiness, focusing on the theme \u2018sharing and caring\u2019 and highlighting the importance of compassion and community building for global well-being. The celebration invites individuals of all ages, businesses, and governments to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This edition of the International Day of Happiness highlighted the global happiness rankings, with India ranking 118th out of 147 countries. This marks a progressive improvement from last year\u2019s spot.\u00a0The report is based on various factors, including healthcare, community, GDP per capita, social support, and relationships. According to the report, Finland ranks first as the world’s happiest country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, we should work together to build a more joyful and compassionate world. Action comes from ourselves, and that action has the power to change the world.<\/p>\n
