Follow your bliss. Slay dragons.
But where does that actually take you?
The “Hawk Tuah Girl” followed her bliss. Look where she is now.
I spoke to a singer who made it to Mexico to sing in Spanish—her dream.
I met a guy who now lives in London, working for Formula One racing.
Another person? An artist who set up her own gallery to sell abstract art.
And then there’s a bass player who also repairs instruments as his day job.
They all are following their bliss.
But then I met someone else—a man who paid R150,000 for an unexpected operation. “You’ve got to be prepared,” he told me.
So, to follow your bliss… you need a map.
But where do you get the map?
The follow your bliss guy would say, “It’s inside you. Find it.” He believed myth could guide you to it.
But let’s be honest. Life is complex.
Finances, health, relationships, careers—how do you know where to go? What to do?
It’s great to map out your hero’s journey, but there’s a lot more to a successful life.
Let’s get real:
Who’s paying your bills this month?
What if you have a medical emergency?
What if your car gets written off?
What if you lose everything?
What if you reach retirement and there’s nothing left?
The dragons are real. Sickness, rejection, disappointment, financial collapse.
Getting fired. Retrenched. Losing someone you love.
Will the dragons eat you alive?
It’s one thing to be brave. To make your mark. But how do you actually get to where you want to be?
For bliss, you need a map. A framework. A system. Something to guide you. Something to help you recalibrate when life knocks you off course.
If you’re interested—I have a map.
Not my map. A map developed with many people, for wherever you are in life.
DM me if you want to know more.
