The road to bliss is a process—a process within you, your

community, your state, your country and your world. Within

each of us is the ability to choose harmony and peace over

dissonance and vengeful, fear-based reactions to the

circumstances of life. If we choose to follow our hearts

and listen to our spirits, we can choose a better way of

thinking and acting. We will have an impact and lasting

effect on others and the world around us.

So if you want to live a blissful life, you have to be the

embodiment of bliss and all the universal components that

connect you to bliss. Don’t just externalize what you

want. Make it your essence. You have to become what you

seek—be the essence of what you desire. Without fear, just

be your amazing self, an embodiment of the facets of bliss.

Let these things be true for you:

  1. Be Forgiveness

You have learned to be in a state of clemency and kindness

for others always. It has become your nature to

automatically forgive without a second thought. It is now

part of your soul, your essence, your core to act with

mercy and pardon for all those who unknowingly bestow pain

and suffering toward you. You hold dear the words of

Jesus, as he hung, crucified upon the cross; “Forgive them

Father, for they know not what they do.”

You are continually exercising forgiveness in your daily

life and are able to receive forgiveness from those you

have trespassed against. You walk in the grace of the

heavens because you know nothing can be more blissful than

to know that God smiles down upon you. You are forgiveness

and your soul has been forgiven.

  1. Be Love

You have opened your heart and mind to the divine

possibility that everything vibrates at certain levels.

You understand lower vibrations of negativity, anger and

fear, and higher vibrations of love and compassion. People

can feel the “vibes” in the air and they are contagious.

You send vibrations of love and joy from the depths of your

heart and soul. You find, in turn, you have an effect on

the world around you. You don’t just talk about loving the

earth and mankind, you feel it in your being. Combating

the feelings of fear, anger, vengeance and negativity, you

have replaced them with thoughts and actions of kindness

and love, and live in harmony and bliss with everyone

around you and the world.

  1. Be Peace

You have peace in your life because you practice peace,

every moment of every day. You do not forget your center

and the knowledge that peace is only a state of mind—a

choice you make. You are quiet and calm and do not become

reactive but are active. Close your eyes and breathe in

the calmness of the universe. You have planted the seeds

of peace deep within, and bliss blossoms from your soul.

  1. Be Beauty

Beauty is much more than skin deep—it radiates from inside

our souls. Knowing that, you are not afraid to let your

tender, creative self shine through. You are joyful and

spread happiness. You forgive and are peaceful. Your true

inner beauty is seen. You have learned to be loving and

true to yourself. Affectionately, you allow your beautiful

self to radiate from the depths of your soul. You truly

know the essence of your inner splendor and do not keep it

hidden within you, but let it shine through for all to see.

Because you connect with your inner beauty, people see you

as a beautiful person. You inspire others to allow

themselves to be beautiful.

  1. Be Powerful

You speak your truth with integrity. Standing in your

power means to know yourself and what you are doing at all

times. With honesty and truth, you stand for who and what

you believe in. You respect and appreciate others’

opinions and values. You look for a harmonious solution to

every situation. You speak with wisdom, not spite. You

stay loyal and true to your values and morals. Without

fear, you move forward, generously leading the way for

those less courageous than yourself. You radiate love and

security, and inspire blissfulness and courage through your

actions.

  1. Be Patience

You are willing to wait and accept the quiet times between

action and results. There is no sense of urgency or rush,

for you know that scuttling and hurry only leads to stress

and dissonance. There is calmness about you as you quietly

go about your busy day. Not lazy at all, you are very

productive, but cool and exacting in action. You realize

life is meant to be savored and those who speed through

miss out on the glories of existence. You live in the

moment and savor every second of your gift of life. At the

end of a hectic day, you are still full of vigor and zeal,

for you have not wasted precious energy on hurry, worry and

stress. You are looked up to and many seek your counsel,

no matter what your position in work, school, community or

family may be. You are patient, calm and peaceful. Your

powerful essence draws others to you.

  1. Be Abundance

You know the meaning of abundance is not being monetarily

rich, but wealthy with bliss. You are filled with love,

peace, joy and harmony. You spread your abundance

selflessly to all you come in contact with. You are a

sage, a prophet and a preacher of love and happiness. You

empower and motivate through your shining example the

knowledge that we need not be rich to have lavish abundance

in our lives.

You are forever grateful for what you have and you

constantly show your appreciation and respect for those who

help you and to the heavens above. You are a pillar of

strength and wisdom and freely share the lessons of life

you have learned. You have no expectations of others, but

endeavor to experience what everyone and what life has to

offer. You walk humbly with an open heart, greeting

everyone as brothers and sisters on this journey of life.

You are a shining example of how people should live—not

perfect, just striving to be better than you were

yesterday.

As we endeavor to walk the path of bliss—to act out of

spirit for the good of all—we venture out alone. We must

have the courage to stand true, to know the potential of

blissful living. Courage is not the absence of fear, but

the ability to move forward into uncertainty while facing

your fears. Just the act of commitment and effort will

bring you the power to adapt and change.

Know that you will lose some friends, but gain many more.

Know you can light the path but you can never make someone

walk the road. Not everyone will understand your

commitment to living a better life. Most will not have the

courage or the will to change their habits and know

themselves for who they are. Stand in your truth with

integrity and fortitude. Don’t fear what others may think.

Seek encouragement, wisdom and praise from inside. Know

that by following your heart, you will inspire others to

follow their own hearts too. Know that when you connect

with the bliss of life, your world will be transformed and

truly amazing!
