How do you know when you've found your purpose? Can your purpose in life change? What holds you back from fully pursuing your purpose? Jessica answers these questions and more as you go though a 4 part series on the foundations of following your bliss.

Risk by Anaïs Nin

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through.

Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.

Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity, and stumble from defeat to defeat.

Perfection is static, and I am in full progress."

Following your bliss by Joseph Campbell

"Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else."
