Vishen Lakhiani

Being at peace with the world and the people around you is one of the most effective ways to maintain blissipline (the discipline of protecting your bliss) as well as rendering you unf*ckwithable (more on this idea in chapter 3)

This will expand on your innermost feelings of being part of a benevolent universe, knowing you’re not alone and that life itself supports your goals

If you believe that there is a higher power, you can call upon it and receive a blessing—a beautiful ending to complete the meditation.

. If you don’t believe in a higher power, you can imagine that you’re calling on your inner strength. That’s it, easy. It takes thirty seconds. It’s the cherry on top of an amazing experience.

The first three phases make up what I call your Pillar of
Happiness. There’s nothing like the practices of compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness to facilitate your joy in the now as well as liberate you from the chains of the past

It’s these practices that facilitate your inner peace and allow you to tune in to a deep sense of wholeness. They allow you to break free from negativity and all that ties you to your prejudices.

Phases 4, 5, and 6 make up what I refer to as the Pillar of Vision. This pillar is made up of your deepest intuitive knowledge about where you want your life to go

It’s about who you want to become, how you want to feel, what you want to achieve, what experiences you want to revel in, and what you want to contribute. It’s about what you want to leave behind when you’ve departed this world

Together the six phases look like this:

Pillar of Happiness

Compassion

Gratitude

Forgiveness

Pillar of Vision

Vision for Your Future

The Perfect Day

The Blessing

I was early taught to work as well as play;

My life has been one long, happy holiday—

Full of work, and full of play—

I dropped the worry on the way—

And God was good to me every day.
