Taylor--Bliss

The definition of bliss is the supreme happiness; utter joy or contentment. I believe as humans we should consider this the utmost goal out of life, it sure is mine. Bliss is the overachiever of happiness, the BIG guy! This feeling doesn’t just go away in an instant, it makes you feel full and an overwhelming amount of love out of your soul. I truly feel that wherever we are at with our life, we can find moments of bliss. I read this quote recently by Shawn Achor, “ Happiness requires changing of lens of how you perceive your reality.” Perspective plays a huge role with finding our bliss, It can be a deal breaker or a thought builder. With the same outlook we can get content with just settling in life rather than pushing our comfort zones for the ultimate goal. Bliss isn’t a material object, its something you feel through an experience. I feel this by hearing people’s stories. For example, I made a friend recently and he told his experience about his adversity from his home country and making it to the United States. What he has been through is something many have not, now both him and his sister have a scholarship to a University. Within three days of his application, the institution called him due to his eloquently written truth about his life. The most amazing part of his story is his spirit and soul that constantly shines through his words. A true form of bliss comes from connecting with our peers on a deeper level and realize we aren’t alone, but sincerely similar. Traveling to different locations, experiencing the unpredictable adventures through breaking the every day patterns open my mind to euphoric bliss and love for this wide Earth. Being exposed to the numerous novelties that are offered in our life are hard to grasp. We can drive an hour and a half and get to witness the art of endless greenery and continuous shades of blue encompassed in one beach. To feel the warmth of the sun recharge your body in the natural state is blissful. Seeing natural wonders that are incapable of man’s hand, standing massively firm in the midst of the ever changing world is absolutely magnificent. Thinking we have several decades to journey countless countries and connect with various people excite me just to live. Remarkably, traveling is bliss no matter how close or how far, it’s our choice to make it a reality. So my advice to make this one life count is to live it blissfully. Set standards high for ourselves and our dreams, but humbly live with the deepest love. Be grateful for the many blessings we experience because being alive is a miracle itself. Push through our comfort zones to embrace a new perspective and continue to grow immeasurably. Do not settle for average but drive your heart to your personal bliss. With all of this, we can undertake life with so much joy that bliss shall constantly be felt.
