What Exactly is Fulfilment?

It seems like we are all looking for happiness — something to make us feel life is full of joy and excitement.

We can often feel like we are entitled to feel happy most, if not all, of the time.

But we struggle with that because happiness isn’t going to be around all the time. It’s a fleeting emotion.

What we need to seek instead is fulfilment. What is fulfilment?

Fulfilment is : A feeling of satisfaction or happiness as a result of fully developing one’s abilities or character.

And/or the achievement of something desired, promised or predicted.

Having a fulfilling life means putting yourself out there.

Achieving your goals, making those goals really worthwhile and being the best you can be.

Our goals may change, our vision of our lives may change, but if we are always pursuing excellence and developing ourselves, this is the path to a fulfilled life.

Achieving our goals is possible; refining them as we move through life is necessary.

I am trying to make most of the things I do part of my goal for a fulfilling life. Obviously, not everything will be.
