Bring Your Own Bliss (BYOB), Part One

(Note:  I'd like to acknowledge and thank my community members, shown at the right!)



On your travels through life, I'd like to encourage you to consider a new twist on the old acronym, "BYOB."  For this post, instead of "Bring your own bottle,"  try this one: "Bring your own bliss!"  

OK, OK...if you insist on a mixed drink, you can stir in some gratitude with the bliss!  (Sliced fruit and a paper umbrella are optional.)

I want to show you another way to look at the Law of Attraction (like attracts like), by using the popular "be, do, have" model.  Bliss and gratitude are major catalysts in this process, so bring them with you!

Many people get the order of "be, do, have" mixed up, and it makes them feel frustrated.  A common mix-up, especially for those with "Type A" personalities, is "Do, do, do, have, be." 

As you might guess, this model is a major cause of burn-out, and it has a  feeling of striving.  Striving will send the Law of Attraction away from alignment with these folks.  It's as if they are saying, "I have to do it all myself, and how can I take bliss along if I don't have it yet?"

Well, of course they won't feel blissful while working fifty hours a week or more!  They need to slow down, watch for help from the Universe, and dig deep in their mental pockets for their bliss. Gratitude can help them remember where they put it.

Dear Reader #1,

I appreciate your kind words!

I also like your suggestion about writing more on this topic. I don't know if you saw part two immediately after this one. I'm going to read them both again to see if I have more to add.

Thanks!

Hi Reader #2!

Thanks for stopping by with your question. I don't know of any plugins for SEO. I think of it more as a set of skills and tips.

I'm not the best one to ask, though, as I've heard SOME tips that, to me, sound manipulative. You may get a lot of page views at first, but if they're too far off-topic, I don't think the same readers will come back to the site.

I know I've brought up a controversial topic here. Many bloggers use targeted keywords and feel it's a useful strategy. I'm one of those odd-balls who doesn't use them!

So, I suggest that you check around the web, as Reader #3 has suggested for you. I'm sure you'll find some tips that you can feel good about using. After all, they're not all bad! :-)

Best of luck to you,

~Susan

Dear Reader #3,

Thanks for being a useful resource to Reader #2! As I mentioned in my comment to Reader #2, I'm somewhat biased about some of the keyword tips that I've heard or read.

And since I don't use them myself, I'm not very knowledgeable about them!

I hope you'll stop by again with your generous suggestions for other readers. I like to see readers helping and learning from other readers. It adds depth to my blog that I could never achieve on my own!

~Susan
