Create & live a fulfilling life: What is a fulfilling life?

What is a fulfilling life?

We are fulfilled when we live a life filled with happiness (feeling or showing pleasure or contentment or comfort or satisfaction). We are more happier and satisfied when we have achieved or are achieving our life wellness goals in every area of life – personally, socially & professionally.

How do we create & live a fulfilling life?

We create & live a fulfilling life when we:

achieve our life wellness goals – personal wellness goals, social wellness goals and professional wellness goals;
identify our abilities (skills, talents, gifts, physical & non-physical attributes);
fully develop our abilities;
find platforms to fully utilise our abilities to achieve life goals-personally, socially and professionally;
identify and are manifesting our soul’s purpose; and
align our soul’s purpose with our personal, professional and social goals.

A fulfilling life is a balanced life

A fulfilling life is a life that is balanced and aligned in all areas of life that complete a human being. We are therefore fulfilled when we achieve our personal, social and professional wellness goals lives without negatively affecting each category. These areas of life are interconnected and failure of one affects others.

Personal goals

Personally, we are fulfilled when we are mentally, physically, spiritually & financially fit. Mental, physical, spiritual and financial wellness are the most important primary life goals that boost our ability to achieve secondary life goals- socially & professionally.

Social goals

Socially, we are more fulfilled when we have healthy relationships with our family (children, siblings, spouses, partners and relatives), friends, & other key people in our lives. We are fulfilled when we have abilities to build healthy relationships. We are also fulfilled when we have abilities that will enable us to achieve life goals that benefit our families, friends and society.

We unfortunately live in times where the social goals that benefit society are suppressed by social goals that benefit us personally. Sadly, many professionals who are capable of contributing towards the health and prosperity of a society, are too focused on individualism at the expense of collectivisms.

We are more fulfilled when people around us and beyond are fulfilled.

When others achieve their goals that directly affect us positively, we will be more fulfilled.

In other words, we can move from one level of fulfilment to the next and so forth. Fulfilment is energy and energy is a building block that can be multiplied, reproduced, increased and so forth.

Consequently, a fulfilled society is a society that is filled with individuals who are mentally, physically and spiritually well.

In addition, our souls are not yet awakened to take over and bring the much needed solutions that will heal and create a prosperous society. That is why, now more than ever we need to embark on a spiritual journey that will awaken our souls during the journey of Self-discovery. Some of the powerful attributes that we need in order to achieve social goals are possessed by our souls.

Professional goals

Professionally we are fulfilled when we use our developed abilities to achieve our professional goals, either as employees or as entrepreneurs. We are fulfilled when we have abilities that enable us to grow and improve our professional status. Also, we are more happier and satisfied when our employment or entrepreneurship is aligned with our life purposes, callings and passion.

For those who have retired and those who will retire from the formal employment, fulfilment comes when you continue to use your professional abilities to contribute towards a healthy and flourishing society. Alternatively a retired person can get fulfilment from pursuing new career goals or new life purposes or callings.

There is plenty of unused wealth of knowledge owned by elders who have retired. There are multiple platforms that the elders can use to share their knowledge towards creating a fulfilled society. It is for this reason that Life with Terry has a wellness program called In the Presence of Elders, a special platform that will enable elders to fully utilise their abilities to serve society.

Retirement is the best phase of life that professionals can use to detox from individualism that is deeply embedded within an employment system that has the power to block creativity and innovation beyond the course and scope of employment.

We are wired to continue to use our brains to create, remain relevant and useful. When we stop creating we unfortunately enter our cemeteries long before we physically die.

We are fulfilled when we manifest the attributes of creation

Because of our inherent desire to create, fulfilment comes when we continue to manifest the attributes of creation as defined in Principles & tools of creation. According to Chapter 1, page 14 of Principles & Tools of Creation “I am capable of creating new things that I desire. I can reproduce the things that are created if they serve me. I am a multiplier of things that are created. I keep on growing and developing myself and the things that I have created. I am capable of adapting and modifying the things that are created to suit any condition that I find myself in. I am capable of restoring, maintaining and evolving. There is never a dull moment or stagnancy in my life. Even better, I create effectively and efficiently now that I am fully aware of the creator that I am. I am more innovative than I was before I became aware of my true identity as a creator. Not only am I a creator, but I am also a co-creator because I embrace the true nature of creation. grow and develop personally, professionally and socially. We are also fulfilled when we reinvent ourselves to remain relevant and useful in all areas of life.”

Does this excerpt from the book resonate with you? If not, begin to receive this knowledge, embrace it and allow it to become your identity as you begin to tap into your highest Self and creative Self. Unfortunately and surprisingly, many people are still struggling to tap into their power to create. Our power to create and co-create is silenced by multiple human-made systems. You can begin to use the above affirmations to manifest the creator that you are.

Ability to enjoy happiness

As mentioned above, happiness is at the center of experiencing a fulfilled life. Sadly, it is not a guarantee that everyone who has the ability to pursue and accomplish life goals will automatically enjoy the journey and the fruits of their life goals. For happiness to be enjoyed, it must be received and experienced at a frequency that enables our feelings to fully manifest the happiness energy.

In Principles & Tools of Creation, I mention that happiness is a pure energy that is available to serve. How it gets experienced is dependent on the ground on which it lands. The ground in this case is the entire aura or energy field of a human being. I also discuss in the book, the tools that one can use to clear the blockages that make it difficult or impossible to experience pure energy.

Different people may receive happiness but will experience it at different levels, with some not being able to experience it at all. Consequently there is a need to assess and develop the ability to receive and experience happiness for some people. Some people will need to undergo therapy to address the inability to be happy.

Questions you should ask yourself

Do I know my abilities?

Have I fully developed my abilities?

Have I discovered platforms to fully utilise my abilities?

Am I fully utilising my abilities in every area of life?

Have I identified and am I fully manifesting my soul’s purpose?

Have I created a balance between my soul, my physical & spirit persons?

Do I have life goals?

Am I able to achieve them and how am I achieving them?

Am I manifesting my goals effectively and efficiently?

Are my Personal, Social and Professional lives blessing me with happiness, satisfaction and comfort?

Are my goals rewarding me with comfort and wellness in all the pillars of life?

A fulfilled life is also a life that embraces wellness beyond the “feel good and healthy” of wellness

Wellness does not only refer the “feel good and healthy ”side of things. When we speak wellness, we don’t mean that we live a life without challenges. It also means that when we go through challenges:

we have the abilities to find creative and innovative ways to address the challenges, effectively & efficiently
in our personal, social and professional lives.
we have the abilities to go through the challenges, remain stronger, until we exit the challenging phase.
we have the abilities to discern and avoid similar challenges in future.

Unfortunately, life is going to throw challenges at us. It is part of life. How we address the challenges and how we go through the challenges and what we become after the challenges is part of wellness.
