What if true fulfilment meant stopping your search?

Some of my worst days have been when I kept telling myself how bored I was.

I’m just not fulfilled, I’d say to myself.

And I’d feel more empty.

I did this for years.

This usually spiked on Sundays when there wasn’t much going on.

After a while, I had a realisation that felt like dropping a heavy backpack after a long hike.

What if fulfilment meant stopping my search for fulfilment?

And, what if all I needed to do to find the energy I craved was to build on the things I already had?

Up until then, I’d be constantly searching for that shiny thing.

That novel, fresh, exciting alternative to soothe my malaise.

Could doing something drastic bring me what I was looking for?

So I’d start a new project.

Or go on some big trip.

The excitement soon wore off, and I’d be back where I had started.

These things can be good, but I learned eventually that all I really needed to do was look at what was right in front of me.

Many of us feel that empty feeling and think we need to find that new thing.

0 to 8.

When the solution is often to take 2 to 3.

Or 5.1 to 5.2.

Or 4 to 5.

Small steps.

Working with what we’ve already got.

Look around you at what you’ve already started and what you’ve built.

You’ve come further than you think.

What small thing can you add to the pile?

It’s an asset.

Fulfilment is here.

Not over the horizon.

Often, you can’t see what you need most of all until you zoom out.

Looking from a distance, you see how far you’ve come.

And then it makes more sense to know the best course of action:

To keep walking the path.

. . .

The best way to see more clearly is from a clear mind.

When you’re clouded with judgement and stress, you become delusional.

You make bad decisions because you live vicariously through others.
