Are You Fulfilled?

June 3, 2012

Dear Friends,

In addition to peace and joy, when you live life in the divine flow you are promised a life of greater satisfaction and fulfillment.  Although satisfaction and fulfillment seem to be similar qualities, and the dictionary uses many of the same words to define them, there is a difference.

Satisfaction is that good feeling you get when you accomplish a particular goal or realize a particular dream.  And when you live life in the divine flow, and practice all of the principles involved, you do achieve your goals and dreams quite easily—without undue stress or struggle.

No doubt about it, getting where you want to go in life is a very satisfying feeling, especially when the journey is virtually effortless.  But as good as it feels to arrive at your chosen destinations in life, that feeling is like a glass half full. The water in your glass is at a satisfactory level, but it is not filled all the way to the top.

Fulfillment is like a glass that is filled full.  And that has very little to do with whether or not you have accomplished a particular goal or realized a particular dream. Fulfillment is something that comes from within.  It arises from who you are at your core—a divinely creative and loving being.

As a divinely creative being, you understand that pursuing desires is a creative endeavor, and fulfillment comes from appreciating the creative process itself.  In other words, you don’t hinge your happiness on completing your creations.  Instead, you allow yourself to enjoy the entire step-by-step process involved in those creations—similar to the way a painter enjoys bringing beauty into the world one brushstroke at a time.

And even more importantly, as a divinely loving being, you recognize that your true nature is love itself, and nothing feels more fulfilling in this world than expressing the love you are at heart.  

You are a creative being.  And you are a loving being.  As you row your boat gently down the stream toward a dream, be who you areExpress your divinely creative and loving nature all along the way. Do that, my friends, and you will always feel fulfilled . . . whether you are just about to reach your dream, or whether you are still miles away from it.
