Can you be happy for 100 days in a row?

Recently, or not recently one of my close friends and I started a challenge to take a picture of something that made us happy for 100 days in a row. You can check out the challenge at 100happydays.com.

I've seen a lot of negativity on the internet in regards to this project, things like "how can anyone be happy for 100 days in a row" or "forcing yourself to be happy isn't healthy" but I must say these accusations are both false and misguided.

You see this project is neither a means to force yourself to be happy or a way to ignore all other emotion, it is realistically more of a gratitude project. Find something each day that makes you smile. Some days it's something so inconsequential that you would have never thought it made you happy unless you were specifically looking for something. That's what this project is about, appreciating the little things. Enjoying life.
