Should you choose fulfillment over success in Life ✓
Success without fulfillment is a void/weird feeling to experience in life. As we grow older and start to learn about how to face the world, we realize the level of hassle required to survive. Also, the difficulty will gradually increase based on the paths we choose. Invariably both triumph and accomplishment are extremely predominant to lead a happy life.
The higher you climb the ladder of success, satisfaction is not guaranteed. Moreover, the high points in life; all good things that you once worked hard, cried and fought for seem to be trivial, because of several reasons. Perhaps during the journey, we fail to be proud of how far we have come and immediately look ahead on the next goal/challenge. That means lacking to enjoy and not be fulfilled completely being in that moment has indirect negative consequences which builds up and burst out at some point in life. Another common reason of voidness, is comparing ourselves with peers which is the biggest blunder that should be avoided, because everyone's leading a different life. We must focus on our garden that you have planned, constructed, watered your entire lifetime in your backyard. An hurdle to you may not be the hurdle to others right. Although, affirmation from our close circle whom we have developed trust for, would facilitate us to push strong, self-fulfillment is the final affirmation what you must seek for. During the process when something did not meet your expectations, do not beat yourself up, after all experiences are gained by either committing mistakes or learning from others.
If you are worried about the missed opportunities, we will end up our life living in the past, remember times change, and so do the impediments too. We have to learn to live in the present and congratulate ourselves for even the smallest of things which will eventually build up confidence for the gigantic tasks. In the midst of aiming high, somehow sometimes we lose ourselves in the realm of perfectness, a place that rarely exist on earth.
“A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.” - Albert Einstein
At the end of the day, when you hit your bed, its up to you to decide and convince yourself. However, what works best is to balance both satisfaction and victory, so that it doesn't affect your inner happiness and surrounding, leaving you in an empty feeling.
If we can spend time with ourselves to find the real purpose of our life and start working on it, these traps can be circumvented.
