Go out, find Joe, and slay a dragon.

A happy morning to you!

Let’s find our bliss today.

A few days ago, I stumbled across a heart-warming and motivating documentary on YouTube while searching for videos on the concept of ANANDA - the Sanskrit word for 'bliss' or 'joy'.

While the English translation is a rather superficial attempt to explain the bigger meaning of ANANDA (like most other Sanskrit words, it conveys a larger concept instead of just a term), I believe that anything that inspires us to get closer to true, genuine joy is definitely worth a watch. 🤗

"As you slay dragons and uncover treasures, you just may find that the holy grail you seek is closer than you think."

"FINDING JOE" focuses on the idea of the 'hero's journey' - a concept that is familiar to almost all writers and storytellers thanks to the amazing mythologist Joseph Campbell. With the help of many interesting and really cool speakers such as Tony Hawk (my childhood crush! 💖), Deepak Chopra, Robin Sharma, Sir Ken Robinson or Mick Fleetwood, just to name a few, the documentary is a wonderful way to start your weekend with positivity, inspiration, and the urge to do something that truly matters to you.

Wishing you the best weekend ahead, and lots of fun deep-diving into your personal bliss.
