Achieving Bliss

I was startled out of my meditative state by a very angry shout. A fellow commuter had shouted at the bus driver because he mistakenly thought the driver was not going to let him alight at the bus stop. It was a super long bus and we had yet to pull into the bus stop. When the man alighted, he had the same angry look and state.

Nothing changed even thought the 'event' was over.

Managing of our emotions is internal.
Bliss is remaining centred regardless of external triggers or events.

I used to be highly affected by circumstances, situations and people. As a result, each day had the potentional to be an emotional coaster ride.

Then as I learnt tools to manage and detox non useful emotions as well as remain non affected, each day became largely blissful with the occasional dips. I am responsible for my own emotions and responses. That gives us control and the ability to achieve bliss. And faciliates our growth to be bliss.
