Fulfillment - Stop Searching

A lot of people hire a Life Coach to talk about the Next Action Step to achieving fulfillment.

Here's an excerpt from The Goddess Documents that talks about that very subject.

I talk to people all the time who want more fulfillment in life. They think they can get it by doing something or waiting for something or hoping something will happen.

Then they’ll be fulfilled.

I used to be like that – waiting for the day when happiness and fulfillment would come my way. Then I stopped waiting. I just live. And then I started listening. Listening to my heart. There I was in a job I didn’t much like. Talking about how I would find a way to do work with more meaning in the world. But you know, that’s all I was doing was talking about it. When I get more time, when I find a place to volunteer close to home. When I find a worthy organization that helps kids. That’s when I’ll join. That’s when I’ll make a difference.

Then I just stopped. Stopped in my tracks and surveyed my own landscape. I looked at exactly where I stood in that moment. And in that moment, I felt the difference. And I finally figure out that all there was – the feeling. It’s really not about what I do or even about my results. For it’s become all about how I do it. Do I do it fully? Do I give my all? Do I do what I do in joy and service. When I’m doing that I’m not worried about fulfillment. I’m experiencing it. Being happy is really in how we are, with people, on the job, in the circumstance. But mostly how we are with ourselves. That’s where happiness and fulfillment life. In giving what we have fully and in joy in every moment, no matter what we’re doing.

By the way, the week after I “Stopped “, the perfect volunteer job appeared. Next I had a chance to move into my current position. Now I’m happier than ever.
