Joseph Campbell often spoke about the importance of ‘following your bliss’. Following your bliss essentially means pursuing what is that you’re truly impulsive about, and this bus driver in Chicago is the finest example of someone who just do that. So, what does he do, you may ask? He sings while he drives. And mind you, he don’t sing softly to himself, as you may think he does. He sings out loud enough for the entire bus to hear. Throughout the day he drives up and down the Chicago streets and sings to his heart’s content.

In an interview to Chicago Television, he once said that he’s not actually a bus driver, but a professional singer who drives the bus to get a captive audience everyday.
Driving a bus is not his ‘bliss’, though driving in general may be a source of pleasure of some, but his bliss is singing. Plus, the supervisors at the Chicago Transit authority are perfectly happy about the entire thing. People line up to ride his bus. They even skip other buses so that they can ride with the singing driver. They simply adore it.

So, there is this one man who knows his purpose in life. And his purpose is to make other happy by entertaining them with his art. And best of all, he has found a way to align his occupation with his purpose on life. By doing what he’s passionate about, or to say by following his bliss, he is doing what he believes he was put here on earth for.

Not everyone can identify a purpose in life. But when you do, make sure that you pursue and live the kind of life you believe you were meant to live. And trust me, you’ll be the happiest person alive.

Michael Jackson’s death is of course sad and tragic. On 26 July the whole world stood shell-shocked when the news of Michael Jackson’s (50) sudden death arrived. According to the initial reports the ‘kind of pop’ died due to a sudden cardiac arrest, however, the exact cause of his death cannot be ascertained until the autopsy reports come. Michael Jackson’s fans worldwide are in absolute distress over his death. While the mourning fans of Michael Jackson are doing everything to pay tribute to their ‘Hero’, I believe they should remember his greatness instead of traumatizing themselves. It is very unfortunate that MJ fanatics are committing suicide because of the pop star’s tragic death. One should not forget that however tragic this is, it is not the end of the world. Despite of his unexpected demise, the superstar would continue to live in our souls through his music.

I’m not a huge Michael Jackson fan, but I do recognize and appreciate his contribution to the pop music. His death was tragic and sad – much like his life. He has always been a legendary figure in the field of music, but his life has always been a controversy with scandals and gossips making headlines every now and then. From plastic surgeries to child molestation and then bankruptcy, his life has been a constant struggle all through.

I don’t know what more to say! I can just pray that god bless his family and may his soul rest in peace…amen.
