What a wonderful suggestion a popular writer suggest...to follow our bliss and everything that makes us happy. Isn't it that at times we feel that we are stressed when we don't follow this advice and try to do some work we don't enjoy or something that is not our ideal? I think this is a great reminder for people to try to seek what is really our bliss and whats us happy, then try to rearrange our lives in accordance with the conclusion we arrive at. I am still in the process and I hope you share with us which are some of your "bliss" and the things you enjoy doing in life. And maybe you could share also if you are already following your own bliss, and if not what you plan to do to start following them :)

My bliss....? Well probably remembering to enjoy just that...stopping for a moment to actually soak in life and all it has to offer.

I would say even though what you have just said was short, it really sinks in as true. It's about being happy who we are right now and trying to count all the blessings of that reality, then we feel very happy and blissful. I would say having bliss is 100% attitude and how we think about our reality. Even if we think that we didn't get the job we desire or the opportunities we want in life, we could still look for and find the good side of our reality :)

Oh yeah. I just watched a youtube video of Jim Rohn and he talked about ideas like that and how important it is to do something better with our lives. Some of the things I remember him said are "Don't wish it was easier, wish for you were better" and "Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills" and lastly "Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom".

I want to be happy but its hard to take risk, I hate my job but it pays a lot money. My dream job is to be famous and iconic but I am not delusional so i decided to be realistic and stick with this job even though I hate everything about it. Myd ream is much more simple now and its to be rich. so i am working hard and save lots of money. there are still small things that makes me smile and happy and positive thoughts to help me during the hard times.

Is it obnoxious of me to ask what type of job you're doing right now? I guess it made me intrigued because you said it is a job that is paying you well. I think if that is the case, it has the consolation of giving you good income every month and maybe as you save money from that job then you could finally find a way to have your own business which would then make it possible to quite your job.
About your dream about being famous and iconic, I used to dream about it too when I was young but later on I dropped it because I felt it is not for me :)

It is very important to surround ourselves with the people and the things that make us happy in our lives. However, it is also true that we aren't always going to be happy with our lives. It is during those times that those people and things that we really enjoy might seem to lose some of its importance. However even when we are going through difficult times in our lives, it is still important to keep those things that we really love close to us.

I would have to agree that most people faces difficult times in their lives, including me. I believe what is important is in spite of those difficulties to keep on dreaming of a better life and start enjoying what we have now, who we are and all the people, things and activities connected with us. I believe that we could be happy whoever we are right now :D
