Bliss in Unexpected Places: A Job Interview Tale

Dear friends, today I want to share a story with you. A story that taught me a valuable lesson about finding bliss in the most unexpected places. This tale takes us back to a time when I was much younger, and the setting was a job interview.

The Interview

It was a crisp, sunny morning when I walked into the towering office building for my interview. I was a bundle of nerves, my palms sweaty, my heart pounding like a drum. I was desperate for this job, and the weight of my desperation was heavy on my shoulders.

The Unexpected Turn

As I sat across from the stern-faced interviewer, I felt my confidence waning. His questions were sharp, his gaze piercing. But then, something unexpected happened. He asked me a question that wasn’t about my qualifications or experience. He asked, “What brings you bliss?”

The Revelation

I was taken aback. I had prepared for technical questions, for queries about my past work, but this… this was different. I paused, took a deep breath, and thought about it. And as I did, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I realized that my bliss was not tied to a job, a title, or a paycheck. My bliss was in learning, in growing, in challenging myself. It was in the journey, not the destination.

The Lesson

That day, I learned a valuable lesson. Bliss is not something that is handed to us on a silver platter. It is something we find within ourselves, in the most unexpected places. It is in the challenges we face, the obstacles we overcome, and the journey we undertake. And once we find it, it becomes our guiding light, leading us to a life of fulfillment and happiness.

So, my dear friends, I urge you to seek your bliss. Look for it in the unexpected places, in the challenges you face, in the journey you are on. And remember, it is not the destination that matters, but the journey.

Until next time, keep seeking, keep learning, and keep growing.
