BEAUTIFUL REASONS

“There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy.” Have you ever wondered about what makes you happy? We may fantasize about taking a round-the-world trip, purchasing a luxury car, or winning the lottery, but there’s good news for those of us who aren’t likely to realize such fantasies anytime soon: we don’t actually need any of those fancy things to be happy. Most of the time, we are so caught up in the daily grind that we fail to pause and enjoy our every moment. Too often we forget to cherish the little things in life that make us smile, even on the bad days. “Beautiful Reasons” is a short video of more than 30 UNCW students answering the question “What makes you happy today?” and finding their own happiness in the smallest things.
