and Bliss
Follow your bliss …
Your life is the fruit of your own doing.
You have no one to blame but yourself. The adventure of the hero is the adventure of being alive
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.Love is a friendship set to music
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the painWhen you follow your bliss...doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and againLife is without meaning.You bring the meaning to it.The meaning of life is Whatever you ascribe it to be.
Being alive is the meaning.
..so, follow your bliss !
…and it will set you free.
