Finding your Bliss with Navtej Kohli
Author: Navtej Kohli // Category: Navtej Kohli On InspirationJoseph 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.
