How to be Fulfilled in Life
Being “fulfilled” means being satisfied or happy as a result of fully developing one’s abilities or character.
By virtue of being born to humanity, every human being has a right to the development and fulfillment of his potentialities as a human being. ~ Ashley Montagu
The question then arises then is, if you are choosing to be fulfilled or if you are merely content to lead a mediocre existence?
What if it was possible to become the greatest YOU could ever be, and through that reach the state of fulfillment?
Our destiny is greatness and we must return to its fulfillment. ~ Paul Tsongas
Here are 4 Steps That You Can Make to Achieve a Fulfilled Life:
- Be peaceful and joyful!
Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness.~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
We are surrounded by trauma and drama. There’s anger, guilt, shame, fear and depression around us. How many people do you know who are happy and peaceful and content? How often are you yourself at peace? How do you react to situations? How you react determines everything; peace, joy and happiness starts with you as a choice that you can make.
When you’re under duress, ask yourself, what would it take for me to be at peace with this? No matter what is going on in your life, know that you can choose joy and peace.
- Creating Can Lead to Fulfilment
Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfillment. ~ Robert Collier
We as human beings have an innate capacity to create. Making something, and getting engaged in the creating process, keeps the zing going on in your life; giving you purpose and a sense of fulfillment.
- Contribution
The idea of a life fulfilled comes from the idea of making a difference in the world. When you change one person’s life, you are changing the world. We are contributing all the time. Sometimes we’re not even aware of how much of a contribution we are making. The acknowledgement of contribution can change your life. For me, once I recognized my contributions to others wellbeing and happiness, I had a totally different sense of self. I realized that my existence was of value and I never questioned my self-worth after that.
- No Judgment of Self
This is a vital piece of the puzzle. Mostly everyone indulges in judgment. However, judgment is the biggest destruction of your life and creation. What if you could look at everything you do and have no judgment of yourself? In fact, every time you find yourself being judgmental ask yourself, What’s right about me that I’m not getting? You may have to say this affirmation 10 times or 1000 times…the point is that you will soon break the destructive cycle of self-criticism.
