I believe this may be reference to the quote by Joseph Campbell – “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” And “The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss.”

My take on that is not that one should live a self centered life and not do what makes you temporarily and superficially happy, but rather find what makes you truly and deeply happy and when you find it, stick with it. When you find that, you will be a better person, a more successful person in all aspects of your life. Life is too short to be miserable.

"What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you.

So, it's like being at Wrigley Field on a perfect summer afternoon; the Cubs beat the Cards, and 40,000 people are singing "GO CUBS GO?

Roger that!
