People often wonder how following one’s bliss will actually take you forward and bring you those three elusive things. The full quote around Jospeh Campbell’s advice to ‘follow your bliss’, that I came across recently, begins to explain how it works. In simple terms, people love and respond to people who are passionate about life and what they want to do. If you really let people see your passion (which you will only have to show if what you’re doing is meaningful to you) they almost can’t stop themselves from helping you where they can. In part, it’s because most people don’t let others see their passion, that make it so unusual and attractive.

This is the full quote:

“You begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss and they open the doors for you.  I say follow your bliss and don’t be afraid and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.” – Joseph Campbell
