Following your bliss

The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy?
Stay with it, no matter what people tell you.
This is what is called following your bliss.
~ Joseph Campbell

Take some contemplative time to make a list of what makes you really happy. Sit quietly with your list. Read it over slowly . . . noticing how you feel when you read each item.

Notice what's on the list. Also notice what's not on the list. Is there information for you in this?

Ask yourself, "Do I love myself enough to allow myself to be happy?" If so, take the steps today ~ even small baby steps ~ to begin to follow your bliss . . . who knows where it might take you.

Warmest wishes,
Karen
