Aaron’s This I Believe Speech
I Believe………In happiness
You need happiness in your life because it makes life so much better. If in your life you suddenly lose happiness, you feel alone, left out or perhaps angry or frustrated. Happiness can make even the worst of feelings float away and become non-important. Happiness is also good for the well being of people. For instance if you are happy all of the time you rarely have neck aches, back aches, or headaches, that is because happiness works as a stress reliever, easing your aches and pains due to stress, and helping the body work more in sync with itself.
If you are happy it could help you in your personal life also because people would be more willing to be your friends and be around you, versus someone who is angry all of the time and doesn’t have happiness in their life, people tend to be intimidated by their attitude and don’t usually want to be around them. Happiness can also influence the way you approach certain events that come up in your life. If you are a person that always has a bad attitude then you will more than likely see things as the worst it could possibly be. Whereas if you are a person with a good attitude then there is a better possibility that you will approach your problems with a clearer head and won’t get as upset and solve the matter in a calm collective manner.
Happiness can also work to help the human body maintain a clearer mind by allowing outside negative energy to disappear and permits the psyche to focus on matters at hand rather than focusing on the negative thoughts that can be associated with unhappiness. My belief in happiness has helped me through many times in my life whether it was the death of a family member or just a bad day. Throughout my life I have discovered that I would rather spend my energy being happy than waste my energy being upset. Happiness however is a state of mind and it is up to the person pursuing it to choose to live a happy life.

Aaron,
Sometimes I think it’s easy for people to get wrapped up in every day life and forget to also enjoy life. Quality of life is highly influenced by our attitudes and joy or happiness. You provide a clear insight here. Thanks for sharing about the importance of being happy.

I enjoyed this speech. It’s proven that those who are happy live happier, and healthier! This speech also ties into my own speech in which I explain the importance of relaxation and vacations to help clear your mind. Nice speech!
