“My God, a moment of bliss. Why, isn't that enough for a whole lifetime?”
“Nobody else knows your reason for being. You do. Your bliss guides you to it. When you follow your bliss, when you follow your path to joy, your conversation is of joy, your feelings are of joy - you're right on the path of that which you intended when you came forth into this physical body.”

You are always doing something that is required of you. Where is your bliss station? You have to try to find it.”
