“Follow your bliss” says Joseph Campbell. And we all nod our head in agreement. But do we really know what our bliss is? Can your bliss change? Are you thinking too negatively to find that positive path?

Finding your bliss starts with some gentle observations. What activities do you perform where time seems to fly by? Where you feel immersed to a point where you feel totally in the moment? Maybe these aren’t “career choices” per se. This could happen while your cooking or riding a bike or talking to a friend. Don’t think in terms of the  big picture too quickly. This is about simple observation.

By mentally “taking notes” with no judgments attached, you begin to see where the proverbial flames are in your soul. It is then you can begin to “follow your bliss.”

As author and speaker Jeff Keller puts it:

When you follow your passion, you’ll be much more positive and excited about your life. That will transfer over into other activities as well. And you’ll be amazed at how opportunities open up for you. I’m not saying your passion is guaranteed to make you a lot of money. It may, but then again it may not.

In any case, don’t have money as your primary focus. You’ll be a happier, more fulfilled person when you follow your passion. And, take it from me, it’s a decision you will never regret, and it will do wonders for your attitude.
