Achieving “all this” didn’t get them the fulfillment they realized was missing. They were looking for more fulfillment, satisfaction, and peace of mind internally. Here is what you can do to feel fulfilled in life as you achieve great successes to achieve true Self-worth.
Achievement ≠ Fulfillment
Working with these high achievers made me realize that achievement does not guarantee fulfillment and true self-worth, which you really get when you go within and get in touch with your true self (the Source)
- We are always connected with the Source and that is who we are at the core, but we get lost in the illusion of separation
- Most of the organized religions teach that we are “sinners” or “impure” in some way or form, therefore, we have to worship “God” to feel wanted, loved, and blessed
Self-love = Fulfillment
When you are in touch with your true self, you serve better.
- You are a better leader because you know who you are. You create your reality, and it begins with self-love
- Achievement does not mean fulfillment in life unless it is helping you grow, and you can realize your greatness by simply loving yourself.
Ego ≠ You
The ego is needed to live in this world because it is hard to live without boundaries in a world that is full of boundaries and laws
- Attempting to dissolve your ego is a developmental step towards a higher level of growth or consciousness
- Connecting with your true self means you are dissolving your ego so you can feel one with the universe and realize your full potential
Growth = Fulfillment
If you are feeling frustrated, annoyed, or not fulfilled along the way, you might be on the wrong path
- According to the existential theoretical framework, your whole purpose in life is to realize your greatness or self-transcendence
- Your passion, desires, and achievements guide your journey towards your greatness
