The holiday was inspired by Levy's belief that the human spirit is a place of peace and tranquility that can be used as an escape from the pressure-filled society in which we live. Levy also believed that the holiday would encourage people to form the habit of constant reflection as a way to feel content in their lives.

It is a reminder to reflect on the strength and resilience of the human spirit and encourages people to acknowledge their inner strength, cultivate optimism and support one another in times of difficulty while promoting the idea that regardless of the challenges one may face, the human spirit has the capacity to triumph over adversity and achieve personal growth.
