Happiness is like having your favorite toy when you really need it most.
Imagine you're playing a game, and you're getting tired or upset. Then, all of a sudden, you see something that makes you laugh or feel better, maybe your friend gives you a hug, or you find a snack you love. That feeling inside you is happiness.
What Makes You Happy
Happiness Can Change
You can be happy one minute and sad the next, just like how the sky changes from sunny to cloudy. But even on days when you're not feeling happy, there’s always something around you that could turn your smile back on.
Examples
- A child getting a toy they really wanted
- Someone laughing with friends after a long day
- Eating their favorite food on a rainy afternoon
