Remember how I talked about my friend who recently discovered she’s a piano prodigy at thirty-six years of age? She was playing music like Bach after one lesson and is already signed up for a fall concert in the neighborhood.
Well, the story gets better. And I have to tell you, folks, this is what happens when you follow your bliss.
She has now been invited to play at The Kennedy Center. Yes, the Kennedy Center. The one that presidents and actors grace as a matter of course. The one that plays Broadway shows like the Book of Mormon or hosts famous musicians like Diana Krall. It’s incredible! She’s only been playing the piano for just over a month.
When she told me the news last night, I told her it was a miracle. But also not a surprise. This is what happens when we receive our life purpose, our bliss. Everything in our life starts to flow. New experiences like this one show up out of the blue. It’s confirmation that we are on the right path and need to trust it.
And our happiness explodes.
She gave me an impromptu piano recital last night after I’d finished jumping up and down in excitement, and the music she created melted my heart. She is so gifted, and I can feel the star rising in her, the star of her true self shining out into the world.
This is coming home to yourself. Finding your purpose. Being wildly happy for no reason.
It’s the flow.
Watching my friend’s transformation has been like watching the plot of an incredible book or movie unfold. I have never thought about writing about a prodigy before now, but we shall see. Regardless, it’s a heck of a story.
So, where are you flowing or not flowing with your own bliss?
