In this community, we all work to make the world a little bit better, a little bit happier. But I often feel like we forget to be happy as we’re doing it. So, we have decided to add a little bliss into the world, as we go along. Operation Bliss is our new campaign to spread joy throughout the internet. You know, because that’s what news networks usually do, right?
We’re going to do two things to make this happen:
First, we’re going to start making videos online that describe different things that made us happy recently. This is a small act of rebellion. Because it feels almost taboo to talk about something that brought you joy. We want to break that cycle of hiding all your joy and exhibiting only your pain. The more you share joy, the more it gives others permission to share it as well. We want everyone to participate and send in their videos as well. Every video is a positive role model in the world. As we work to fix all the things that are wrong in the world, let’s not be embarrassed to talk about the things that have gone right in our lives.
Second, in the Bonus Episode for members, I’m going to start giving people tips to be happier. I know, I know. I’m not an expert or a guru. And there are so many things to be upset about. And how dare I think that people can be happier by just thinking about things differently? And how dare I think I have the answers? Yes, that’s all true, nevertheless, we’re going to try. And we’re going to try together. This is where we’re going to need you to share your stories and experiences, too. Because if we’re not trying to be happier and more fulfilled, what are we doing? I believe there’s some chance we can help each other and yes, bring a little bit more joy into the world."
