The Decided Life and Fulfillment

"If I were fulfilled...I'd be happy!"

Fulfillment is an allusive objective.

What most "Fulfillment seekers" do not realize is that they are simply trying to live a math equation!

The number that they seek is "1".

Huh?

A+B+C+D...=1

"A, B, C, D" and others being those things, experiences, etc that the individual believes add to the fulfilling experience.

"1" being the moment of fulfillment.

As long as the final number is less than "1" the individual remains unfulfilled.

This is complicated by the fact that there are negative numbers in the equation too!  In fact, there are two general categories that the negative numbers fall into:

• Past regrets and failures that detract from the present moment
• Present situations that detract from the present moment

This endeavor is further complicated by an individual's future goals.  In a worse case scenario, individuals become so future (dream) oriented that they lose sight of the present!

Thinking this through

Now that we understand the components of fulfillment, what does this mean in our achieving it?

You probably noticed that every element had something in common.  It was their affect on the present.

AHA!  Fulfillment is what is happening in the present and its experienced is totally dependent upon how one perceives the past and future...not to forget...what they are doing in the present...

I absolutely love the image at the beginning of this article...It explains fulfillment in the fewest words possible...

It is recognizing that the past is gone and is absolutely nothing!

It is recognizing that there is no future, until it gets here...it therefore means nothing in relation to this moment's fulfillment!

It is about "Deciding" to do...RIGHT NOW...what is fulfilling and achieving that "1" by not maximizing the numbers in your "Fulfillment Equation", but by eliminating and minimizing the "numbers" or elements of fulfillment in the equation!

Fulfillment is all about what you decide!

If you are currently not living "fulfilled" and authentically happy...your equation may contain elements that are not adding to your achievement of "1" and detracting from your equation...making it impossible to every achieve what you seek!

It is all about what you Decide!
