Journey to Bliss

Your bliss is that thing that you do that lights you up. Time stands still while you’re doing it. Joy pours forth from you. You feel like this is what you were born to do. As Wayne Dyer puts it, “Your passion is what stirs your soul and makes you feel like you’re totally in harmony with why you showed up here in the first place.” There is no end to what bliss might look like. Simply see what feels right when you’re doing it. In this book, I’ll introduce you to thirteen people who have found their bliss. There’s a good chance that you’ve never heard of any of these folks. That’s the point. I wanted to show that ordinary people can, and do, find their bliss and bless the world simply because they are offering what they love with passion. You’ll meet a range of people including a hair dresser, an opera singer, a restaurant owner, and a woman who started a spiritual community in Costa Rica. You’ll get to know a woman who gave up the glamorous life of modeling to take on the challenging, dangerous, and low-paying task of saving the White Lions. The diversity is to show you that nobody can define your bliss but you, and there are no limits or definitions. This book celebrates the journey, and getting there isn’t always easy, as some of these stories will show. You’ll read about a very rocky road in the case of an orphan growing up in a small African village and later on the mean streets of a large city. You’ll be surprised what he did with his life. In the end, it’s always worth the struggle. Sometimes, there is no struggle, but rather an easy, natural outworking. You’ll see that in the story of a construction company owner who is now operating a green cemetery and championing this non-mainstream approach across the country. In any case, these people embarked on journeys that I’m sure you’ll find fascinating and inspiring. When you lay down the book, it may well be the first step towards finding the fulfillment of living your own passion.
