THE SECRET OF SELF-FULFILLMENT

Would you like to experience self-fulfillment on a daily basis?  Well, you can, once you understand what it is and how it comes about. 

True self-fulfillment doesn't come with victory, conquest or great achievement (as you may have been led to believe). These are ego-boosters which, at the moment of realization, produce feelings of exhilaration and pride. But they don’t produce fulfillment. For that we need to satisfy much more than our appetites, desires and ego.

It may be helpful to note the difference between gratification, satisfaction and fulfillment. Gratification comes from meeting bodily needs, like hunger and lust. Satisfaction comes from meeting ego needs, i.e., getting what we want. But fulfillment comes from meeting the soul’s need to experience goodness; then we experience high energy and feel fulfilled.

Thus, fulfillment doesn't come from what we do or get, but from how much good we do or give; it results from the quality of our being and actions taken.

So to experience greater fulfillment, expand the powers of your higher nature by growing into a more conscious, creative and loving person; express more of the goodness-creating power of your soul.

This is the secret to self-fulfillment ... and to having a more wonderful life.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
