Finding You Reason Why…
Here is a quick question for you…
Is Your Life Fulfilling?
Now before you answer yes or no, you de realize that this is a loaded question,but in a good way. To help you answer this question better, I want you to use the scale of your dreams and goals to give you more insight.
During this phase, you’re not going to rely on outside influences such as the thoughts of others or the feelings of society…but you will have to be honest with yourself, after all only you are reading/watching this and only you will know the answer.
At one time or another we have set goals.
Goals give us a reason for getting up in the morning. We are always moving towards something that makes an impact on our life. If you are in college, graduation day represents a goal. It may be four years down the road, but it is still in sight.
When you find a job, the goal may change to one of promotion. We strive to be better than we are not because of others, but because of our drive to do more than simply breathe the air.
Each person wants their time on this planet to mean something. The meaning could be for us alone or for our families or the world.
Think about this for a moment – What are some of your goals and dreams?
If you’ve never taken the time to write them down, buy a journal and do just that. It could take more than one sitting if you haven’t made it a continuous habit of deeply exploring your thought about life.
No matter how outrageous they seem, write ALL of your aspirations down. The culmination of dreams is not necessarily a lifelong career, but it is usually encompasses something that you want to experience in your life.
For example, your aspiration may want to climb or scale a mountain, but that doesn’t mean you necessarily want to make mountain climbing your lifelong dream. Climbing a mountain is an experience you’d like to have and fulfilling that adds a measure of character to your life…and that is usually what you are after.
Now it is important that you keep one thing in mind – and that is the fact that you may not meet all of your goals. But here is the thing – An unmet goal either leads us down a better path, or it sours our attitude. It is important that you strive for the former. Some of us are so set on keeping up with the Jones’ that we don’t realize the harm we are doing to our own level of joy in the process.
If you take a good long look at your goals and dreams list you’d probably be surprise that you have many, many desires…and while that is not a bad thing; Life is not about pursuing one path and staying on it for the rest of your life. It is about the littlt detours and rest stops we choose to take that turn us into well-rounded and understanding people.
Only you can answer the question, “Is Your Life Fulfilling?” No one knows your heart like you do. It is the question we all sometimes look for someone else to answer for us, but we soon realize that any answer someone else could give, would be wrong because they are not us.
You know you best.
Use your goals and dreams as a guide to find the fulfillment you long for.
