One of the most important concepts to living a happy and fulfilling life is that bliss always trumps fear and excuses. Keep in mind that when I use the word bliss, I’m not referring to the romantic notions that this concept conjures. Instead, I’m equating it to a vigorous kind of enthusiasm that you feel deep within you and that isn’t easy to explain or define. This kind of passion propels you in a direction that seems motivated by a force beyond your control. It’s the inner excitement of being on the right path, doing what feels good to you, and what you know you were meant to do.
It is my belief that the mere presence of bliss within you is all you need to fulfill your dreams. Remember the divine is in no need of excuses, ever. The creative Divine Spirit is able to manifest anything it contemplates, and you and I are the results of its contemplating itself into material form. Thus, when we have an emotional reaction that feels like overwhelming passion for what we’re contemplating, we’re connected to the field of intention nothing can hold us back.
When you follow your bliss you have a feeling that tells you, this is the right thing to do. Nothing can stand in my way. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says. This feeling is so good that it cannot be ignored. I’m going to follow my bliss and act upon this glorious sensation of joy.
When you’re enthusiastic, nothing seems difficult. When you are inspired and have passion, there are no risks: family dramas become meaningless, money isn’t an issue, you know that you have the strength and the smarts, and the rules laid down by others have no bearing on you whatsoever. That’s because you’re answering your calling, you’re connected to the energy vortex, the field of intention. You are directly connected to your higher self.
Finding your bliss is the greatest gift you can receive. Following your passion means you are aligned with Spirit. Treat it as a miracle and do everything you can to hold on to it. I feel this way when I am and writing and teaching. I’ve learned over the years that when I go to that place of passion within me, there’s no force in the universe that can interfere with my mission to help others. My life is consumed by the bliss I feel for what I’m doing, yet I know that as long as I feel this, I’m connected to my higher self.
My enthusiasm seems to cause my world to endlessly offer me cooperative, co-creating experiences. I’m willing and I’m eager, and not just about my writing, I feel the same way about staying in shape, enjoying my family, teaching a workshop, or whatever it may be. If you have passion, there is no need for fear or excuses, because your enthusiasm will overcome any negative feelings you might come up with.
Enthusiasm makes excuses a nonissue. When you seek the presence of your creative Spirit and are filled with passion about virtually everything you undertake, you’ll successfully remove the roadblocks from your life and enjoy the active presence of spirit-filled life.
