The Happiness Project 2014: Four Days of Friendship, New Experiences, And Unadulterated Joy

Group reflection activity after watching “The Lion King”

Happiness is a unique term, in that it is defined differently by each individual. In our hectic lives, we tend to forget our definitions of happiness and fall into the trap of constantly pursuing success to be happy. It is a vicious cycle of finding a goal, achieving it, earning a small dose of happiness before repeating the cycle, until we are six feet under. That is no way to live, so The Happiness Project was started in 2012 to show people that happiness brings success, not the other way around. Since then, it's been a yearly event, bringing the students of KDU closer to their own personal brand of happiness.
