We believe that
- everyone can find his/her own happiness regardless of circumstances in life;
- happiness is not contingent on achieving something or arriving at a better state, stage or place, rather it is a state of being happy right now;
- making happiness-seeking a habit facilitates the realization that it actually comes from within.
Therefore, WANNABEHAPPYNOW.COM is not just a catchy name for a website. It is a statement based on the belief that being happy is
- a desirable state of being (it is good for us)
- a natural human need (everyone desires it)
- achievable now (everyone can be in it)
