For any of us to savour bliss (nikmati kebahagiaan), there are really only a few basic criterias to fulfill, and there is no need to look beyond this, unless there is an aspiration by us to strive for greater heights in life.

Bliss in this life is achievable. While not being sure of other aspirations in life, bliss can be attained by simply learning to live and living to learn and refusing to join the herd or pack mentality that is so prevalent nowadays.

Perhaps the greatest threat to a blissful and peaceful life comes from trying to keep up with the Joneses and the subsequent envy and jealousy that follows result in so much trouble and disturbance to those who strive to keep up with others.

Be realistic. In order to ensure that bliss flows perpetually in your life, set goals and targets, aims and objectives, that are not extremely demanding and beyond our reach but through quiet persistent perseverance and hard work it can be achieved.

Learn to disassociate with those who drive you up the wall but if you have no choice minimize contact and communication, and avoid those who are taking the destructive path in life to prevent disaster and destruction for ourselves as well.

Bliss can be continuous and lifelong and if you have achieved this realm, learn to cherish and be grateful that the quest for knowledge and wisdom has yielded positive results which should go a long way towards an enriching life.
