touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.

When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.
When you can see that, you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

Release your regrets if you choose

Choose to love your life.
Choose to love all the friends, family, co-workers,
acquaintances, and others who share your life.
