The phrase “follow your bliss” has become a well known one in the minds of many people. Yet, what does it mean to you? If you are following your bliss, does it mean that you don’t remember to do the things you need to do in your life? Do you become likely to not feed your pets, clean your house, or be there for friends and family? While following your bliss probably does imply a certain amount of spontaneity in your choices and actions, it also implies that these choices are made through direct connection to Source Energy. One person connected to source is more clear, more centered, and more likely to make appropriate decisions, and demonstrate caring actions, than a person who is not feeling a connection to Source. Following your bliss means that you make choices from a place of inspired action, and that you move forward with a knowledge and a belief in a positive outcome. In your bliss you line up with situations and events that are perfectly unfolding before you, and you gain an incredible sense of timing…always being in the right place at the right time. Blissing out is not an escape from reality, but rather an intensification of reality where you gain clarity and purpose.

But what if you can’t find bliss, feel bliss, or perceive any bliss in your vibration? How do you follow what you can’t feel? The answer is, you can’t! What you can do, however, is find a feeling that feels better than the one you are feeling. In any moment, you can choose thoughts that either move you closer, or that move you farther away from, your bliss. No matter what you are feeling, you have access to feelings that feel a little less resistant, that feel like relief, and that feel more connected than the ones you are feeling right now. Reach for the best thought you can, and then reach again. Before long, bliss will be in your range. Once you are there, bask in bliss like you would bask in the sun at the beach on a perfect summer day. Milk it for all it’s worth, and keep reaching for the feeling of connection. Your greatest gift, and your greatest responsibility is to be a connected being. The rest is just details. You will still feed your cat…the only difference is that you will totally appreciate your cat while you serve it. Your cat, however, will probably feel the same way about you that it always has.
