Title: Follow Your Bliss
Post by TerryS on Jan 13^th, 2003, 10:09am

FOLLOW YOUR BLISS

Author Joseph Campbell often talked about "following your bliss." I
heard of a bus driver in Chicago who does just that.

He sings while he drives. That's right... sings! And I don't mean he
sings softly to himself, either. He sings so that the whole bus can
hear! All day long he drives and sings.

He was once interviewed on Chicago television. He said that he is not
actually a bus driver. "I'm a professional singer," he asserted. "I
only drive the bus to get a captive audience every single day."

His "bliss" is not driving a bus, though that may be a source of
enjoyment for some people. His bliss is singing. And the supervisors
at the Chicago Transit Authority are perfectly happy about the whole
arrangement. You see, people line up to ride his bus. They even let
other busses pass by so they can ride with the "singing bus driver."
They love it!

Here is a man who believes he knows why he was put here on earth. For
him, it is to make people happy. And the more he sings, the more
people he makes happy! He has found a way to align his purpose in
living with his occupation. By following his bliss, he is actually
living the kind of life he believes he was meant to live.

Not everybody can identify a purpose in life. But when you do, and
when you pursue it, you will be living the kind of life you feel you
were meant to live. And what's more, you will be happy.
