Don't take yourself too seriously

Or, put another way: "Get over yourself".
No one likes criticism and we all have fragile egos... but sometimes, when our thoughts hijack us, we can turn the simplest comments into conspiracy theories.
The truth is that not everything is about you, sometimes when people scowl at you, it's because they're unhappy inside. If a person says something to you that you don't like, you don't have to react in kind. In fact you may be able trigger transformation in another by not letting your ego take over, instead be present with that person and be compassionate.

Conscious Evolution

Last year, I took the Evolutionary Worldview Course through Enlightennext Magazine and Andrew Cohen and later, watched the event: "A Call to Conscious Evolution, Our Moment of Choice" which was also hosted by this group. Both experiences were inspirational and eye-opening. As Deepak, one of the many renowned speakers at the Evolutionary Leaders' event, said: "... the only way to transform the world is to transform yourself.." and "... even well-meaning activism is often coming from a place of outrage rather that creative consciousness.."

We are all one

When you take steps to be present, become committed to not 'be your ego' or run by your thoughts, to be grateful for the people in your life, and to create your reality then you will start to sense more and more that you are not alone but a part of something much greater, the collective spirit of humanity.
Even the latest scientific breakthroughs with respect to quantum consciousness and unified field theory are demonstrating that the universe and everything in it, ourselves included, are interconnected by a vast field of energy.
In this collective space, love and contribution become natural which in turn can fuel harmony and peace in your life.

Choose your Life

This is another perspective on "Follow your Bliss". Sometimes, it's not our outside circumstances that need to change but our interior dimension.
I took a course called the Landmark Forum many years ago, and this was a key concept after three long days of workshop. It correlates back to the idea that 'your thoughts create your reality'.
When you declare that your life, your spouse, your children, your job, your world are all exactly what you always wanted, then they will become that for you

Follow your Bliss

One of Joseph Campbell's famous quotations...
Many will say that they would love to follow their bliss but they have to pay the bills, don't have time, it's too late to change course, or any other number of excuses.
I would contend that for many of us, we don't really know what our 'bliss' is. Of course, it seems like it must be the greener grass on the other side. Certainly, the idea of walking away from a tough job and living in luxury seems blissful - but this is not what Campbell intended.
