Living Blissfully

When I think about the year ahead, my thoughts are on spending 2009 with as much bliss as possible. I am determined to steadily move in the direction of my dreams.

How do I do it? I had a great teacher!

My father was with the same company for 36 years as an analyst. He was also actively involved with the union, as a benefits representative. Every day before he left for the office he brought me breakfast and coffee, with a smile. He “chauffeured” anyone to the office that needed a ride. He would drop everything when a co-worker needed a hand and still accomplish his own “goal” of finalizing each project, with excitement and enthusiasm. He gave me an incredibly solid foundation for building a bright future; a future that includes supporting my work “team” to the best of my abilities.

My top ten tips for living and working blissfully are:

B Believe - Believe in the possibilities
L Live - Live your day as if it’s your last
I Inquire - Ask lots of questions. Knowledge is power
S Smile - Smiling is contagious
S Supportive - Be of help to others in your environment.
F Feed - Start your day with a healthy breakfast
U Upbeat - Embrace each day with enthusiasm and excitement
L Laugh - Laugh at life, it’s supposed to be fun
L Love - Love for yourself, love for others
Y Yes - Say yes more than you say no

Make a choice to live your life with more bliss than you can possibly imagine.
By setting that intention, you will find that your day, whether at work or play, is much more enjoyable!

As Joseph Campbell said, “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls!”
