Achieving A Fulfilling Life; Is It Possible ?

Everyone always talks about living a fulfilling life or achieving one at minimum. The term fulfilling can be difficult because to one person with small children that might be fulfilling, while another person may not feel fulfilled until they have a million in the bank. Different things are important to different people so it is difficult to place a blanket statement on what fulfills everyone, in fact it is impossible. Instead the focus of finding fulfillment must be guiding one to what is important to them, what makes them happy as well as the ability to move toward their goals. How Will I know When I Am Fulfilled You might already be fulfilled, but passing it over wondering if there is something better out there for you. Now some would say if you’re still wondering than your not fulfilled yet, but what they fail to mention is that there are other factors that go into the “feelings” of fulfillment. These factors can range from a person that is extremely ambitious to someone that is too hard on themselves. Sometimes happiness is right under their noses and they cannot see it because they are too busy attempting to achieve another fulfilling dream. So, in order to find out if you’re missing your fulfilled life, take a step back. Examine your life and name 3 or 4 things that are of importance to you. For some it will be their spouse and kids, for others it might be buying a new home or landing that CEO’s position. Now ask yourself this one last question, when your eulogy is read at your final resting place, what will it say? Have you achieved that higher goal or that saying that you want to be remembered by? If so, you are living fulfilled, if not work toward that saying. Having Some Fulfillment, But Wanting More It is truly human nature to want more! There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and wanting to do well for yourself, in fact it is a positive step in life. There does however need to be a balance between slowing down and appreciating what exactly does fulfill you in your life. Be careful not to forego those important fulfillments only to achieve more. An example, might be working hard to provide financially for your spouse and children, however you leave before they get up in the morning and come in after they are down for the night. Are you helping fulfill, or hindering? Spiritual Harmony rnAchieving fulfillment in life must consist of spiritual harmony. We as humans must have a higher power that we look toward to keep us on the path of fulfillment. Without guidance and spiritual peace it creates an internal struggle that can leave an uneasy feeling inside. This by itself can actually hinder becoming fulfilled, because it always feels like something is missing.rnTake time to enjoy the blessings that you do have, ask yourself some tough questions and always strive for good, but remember that perfection is not human!
