To truly understand BLISSTITUDE, let's take a closer look at the definition:
BLISSTITUDE = BLISS + GRATITUDE
BLISS
Bliss is defined as perfect happiness; great joy. You're probably asking yourself if perfect happiness is even possible. I'm here to tell you that perfect happiness is attainable. Perfect happiness isn't about being happy all the time; every moment of every single day. Perfect happiness is a state of being where you can be your authentic self, let go of the desire to control external situations, and live in the present. But bliss is only one part of the equation.
GRATITUDE
Follow your bliss
and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
- Joseph Campbell
GRATITUDE
Gratitude is defined as the quality of being thankful; a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Gratitude is such a simple concept, but its impact on you and those around you is profound. What would happen if you suddenly started to be more grateful for the things in your life? If you took a moment to pause and step back from your hectic schedule, your commitments and your frustrations, I suspect you'd discover there are many things you currently take for granted.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,
but the parent of all the others.
- Cicero
Individually, both of these concepts are powerful; combined, they create a dynamic state of being that can change your attitude and life forever.
