Follow Your Bliss.

Every human being will have an obsession, a passion, a deep liking and love for a thing. Pursuing the thing which you live and reaching a stage if eminence is ‘Following the Bliss.’ The source of Follow Your Bliss. is said to be from the ancient Hindu sacred books ‘Upanishads.’

In the present era, American mythologist Joseph Campbell (1904 - 1987), in his book ‘Power of myth,’ used the phrase Follow Your Bliss. Campbell, an ardent lover of mythologies was particularly interested in American native mythology.

Campbell, in order to widen his knowledge travelled far and wide, including Tibet and India. The phrase popularized by Campbell summarizes the philosophy of self discovery that leads to self empowerment. By using modern methods of SWOT, that is discovering strengths, weaknesses opportunities and threats, in us one can attain the eternal bliss.
