Don't Awful-ize Find your Bliss Instead

Today, instead of worrying about planning all the details of my day I am going to try and follow the "universe unfolds" mentality.  Allowing my best instincts to guide me as a powerful life lesson. I believe that if I stand firmly in my positive life perspective I will generate more positive things. It doesn't really matter if I focus on the one thing I want or simply focus on being joyful. I believe that my bliss is the driver and that I have to constantly reach for it.

Once from a very dark place I began to wonder about what the heck is bliss, anyway? What is my bliss? I felt a little like the character in Shel Silverstein's book "The Missing Piece". I was riding through life looking for my missing piece and missing all the other pieces of my life. I thought about this for a long time... what is my bliss?

One day while driving home from work I heard Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" (allegro). I turned the music up very loud in my car and announced: "I found my bliss!"

 

There are certain things that when you hear them or do them that you are just thrilled. For me, on that day, I latched on to the excitement of this music and was able to pull myself up. It is this place, the place where you are inexplicably happy, even in a silly way - this is the place that you start from when you focus on keeping that feeling for as very long as possible. This is the space I want to lead my life from - the point of attraction I want to keep - positive, excited, focused. 

When I make the mistake of looking at the "what is-ness" of life I try to remember to flip on Mozart (or some other music that excites the bliss in me) and place myself in a better space. Things are sometimes awful - but I really believe we don't have to stay stuck in the awfulness. We can pull ourselves out one less awful thing at a time.
