Hey guys,

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it takes to be happy.

You know, wake up and jump outta bed, excited to conquer the day happy…truly psyched about living each and every moment.

What’s the key? Why do some people wake up with the Monday morning blahs while others are ready to champion any challenge that comes their way?

I think famed philosopher/mythologist Joseph Campbell said it best when he said,

“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.”

Aha! That’s it! THAT’s really what we’re all looking for…our own personal BLISS!

We’ve all seen those people that appear to lead a “charmed” life? Right?

You know the ones…the people who just seem to have everything come easily to them? The greatest opportunities just seem to fall in their lap.

Doors open, money flows abundantly, happiness abounds–they seem to be the luckiest people on earth…

Well, chances are, they are following their BLISS!

As a matter of fact, you can pretty much  bet on it!

You see, the truly amazing thing about doing what you love is that when you “follow your bliss” (as they say) life just really doesn’t seem like work at all!

I know some people tend to think it’s a little “woo-woo” but truth be known, I’m a big believer in the power of positive thinking—and subscribe whole-heartedly to the idea of “following your bliss!”

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed a mind-blowing level of success in my career—and my personal life. Houses over looking the ocean, expensive cars, beautiful wife, fancy watches…you name it.

So how did I do it?

By simply paying attention to the things that make me happy and then focusing my efforts and attention in that direction. It’s kinda like my own personal GPS, if you will!

Yup, it’s that simple…try stuff, see how you feel, if it feels good, follow that feeling!

I think life’s too short to sideline yourself with fears—fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of success, fear of whatever.

The time is now to examine where your happiness lies and then head ever so persistently in that direction—and that direction alone.

And before you know it, you’ll be following your BLISS!
