3 Easy Ways to Live a Life of Fulfillment
Many people have subscribed to the conventional way of living. Go to college, get a high paying job, get married, have 2.0 kids, buy a house, retire and then die. There is nothing wrong with that...except many people also find themselves longing for a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
What does fulfillment really mean?
I googled it and believe it or not there were many definitions that popped up. The one that captured what I believe it means is this one: "satisfaction or happiness as a result of fully developing one's abilities or character." In the book Play To Win by Larry Wilson, he states, "Fulfillment is knowing that, if you died tomorrow, your life would have meant something, that it was going in the right direction and you were making a difference."
WOW! That's a pretty powerful statement.
Here are 3 ways we can all strive to live a life of fulfillment:
Do work that incorporates our passion, skills, talent and knowledge
Live more positively
Give back & volunteer on a regular basis
Life is fleeting at best. I know that at times I can forget that by placing too much emphasis on chasing goals, money or stuff. At the end of my journey I want to look back and know that I lived a life of fulfillment and all the other "stuff" won't matter.
Next week we will take a peek at how you can do work that includes your entire being instead of just being a cog in the wheel.
