What if you could change the entire trajectory of your life just by choosing what feels like bliss?

Sounds pretty hokey… follow your bliss.

So let me be the hokey decoder.

Sure, following your bliss means following your passion.

Or follow your feel-good. (Didn’t think I could get more hokey, did you?)

But simply put, people like people who are lit up inside.

I totally think that’s why my husband was attracted to me when we met.  We happened to be in a group at a party where two of my favorite subjects were brought up.

I was trying to be low key since I hadn’t technically been invited to this party. (Only young, nubile ballerinas had been invited, and it was pretty evident I was not a ballerina.)

But I couldn’t keep quiet on these topics.

I was passionate.

I was animated.

I had clear, salient points to add to the conversation. 
I oozed with enthusiasm.

I was on fiyah. (Hokey alert: That’s how I say, “fire” when I am on fire.)

Some people think that following your bliss is a secret beacon. 
There is a path predetermined by the universe/God that is marked with the effervescence of your bliss.

Even if that’s not your belief, there is solid science that says following your bliss, or doing what lights you up inside, draws to you the things you most want.
Because people like people who are vibrant and lit up.

Who would you rather be with at a party… a sparkly, joyful woman or a woman whose eye’s say, “Meh.”

Hey – I look at my wedding photos and I think I look more vivacious than in other photos because I am blissing hard.

Maybe it’s magic.

Maybe it’s science.

Either way, bliss feels pretty good, so doing more of what makes you joyful is a win-win strategy to navigate life.
