Here, Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a> shares 9 Bliss Quotes to inspire:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Now may every living thing, young or old,
\nweak or strong, living near or far, known or
\nunknown, living or departed or yet unborn,
\nmay every living thing be full of bliss. ~ The Dhammapada<\/p>\n

To be happy–one must find one’s bliss. ~ Gloria Vanderbilt<\/p>\n

Following all the rules leaves a completed checklist. Following your heart achieves a completed you. ~ Ray Davis<\/p>\n

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls. ~ Joseph Campbell<\/p>\n

If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased. ~ Katharine Hepburn<\/p>\n

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing. ~ Dale Carnegie<\/p>\n

There is no need for us all to be alike and think the same way, neither do we need a common enemy to force us to come together and reach out to each other. If we allow ourselves and everyone else the freedom to fully individuate as spiritual beings in human form, there will be no need for us to be forced by worldly circumstances to take hands and stand together. Our souls will automatically want to flock together, like moths to the flame of our shared Divinity, yet each with wings covered in the glimmering colors and unique patterns of our individual human expression. ~ Anthon St. Maarten<\/p>\n

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up. ~ Deepak Chopra<\/p>\n

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.\u00a0 ~ Emily Bronte<\/p>\n
