My inspiration to write comes from many places. First and foremost it comes from within. From a desire to create something, to simplify my life, to connect, to become ever-happier and to help others to do the same despite the chaos, challenges and demands of daily life.
I should explain a bit more. I'm roughly 30 years old and I'm a newly minted doctor. Just a few months prior to finishing medical school, I become invested in changing the way that I live my life. It wasn't as if I had an epiphany. More accurately, many ideas and influences had been brewing for years and only recently conglomerated in a way that I could not ignore. And thus began my current existential crisis. My need for change. My need to maximize clarity, simplicity and happiness in response to and in spite of the hugely demanding (work) life in which I now find myself.
Though I have many more questions than answers, small efforts toward mindfulness, meditation, patience and understanding have begun to yield tremendous rewards (more on each of these to come). Through these small successes I am now constantly inspired to build my own bliss. I draw inspiration every day from my wife's tremendous patience and good-nature; from travelling the world every chance I get; from love; from beautiful music, art and writing; from nature; and from a desire to squeeze every drop of happiness, pleasure, excitement and experience that I can from life.
And so, I now begin a chronicle of inspirations, challenges, successes and, most of all, my quest to maximize happiness.
I hope that you too will build your own bliss.
