Five Keys to remain blissful at work 1. Always be cheerful. Your happiness should flow from within you. Never let the external circumstances be the cause of it. 2. Be thankful for what you have rather than complaining for what you don’t. 3. Stick to your working ethics and work hard. Here the ultimate bliss is the reward. Shortcuts and will give the momentary and fake rewards. 4. Take hard or negative circumstances as opportunities or examinations for your spiritual endurance. 5. Try to watch yourself. Your actions and your thoughts. One day you will experience the oneness. But the journey itself is important irrespective of achieving the destination. October 4, 2012
