Happiness is different for everyone. It changes based on needs and circumstances. It cannot be given or prescribed. Happiness must come from within, but you can always help someone create their happiness.
In this video, Dr. Jacob shares the secret
to happiness: change. If a student wants to be happier, nothing will change
if they always do the same things. By learning how to change their behavior,
habits, or routines, they will learn what makes them happy, and they can
develop lasting happiness from within.

If
you want to change, you first have to imagine a different future for yourself
(new circumstances or habits). This week, your assignment is to identify the
change that you want to see in your classroom and relationship with your students. To do this,
you need to identify what the current situation is right now and what you would
like it to be. Keep this in a document that you can revisit each week to track
your progress.
