Success will always look and feel different for different people. For some, it will mean financial freedom and a career they love, while others might find it from a spiritual journey, or through their family and personal relationships - the truly lucky ones will find it in all of these aspects and more! As, regardless of what success looks and feels like for you, for most people it often goes hand in hand with fulfillment.
The reason success and fulfilment complement one another is that they each touch on what is important in all the aspects of our life. Furthermore, success without fulfilment often doesn’t feel like a success at all. In order to achieve the right balance, there are certain steps you can take to ensure you have the perfect recipe to achieve both. Discover the ingredients that makeup success and fulfilment:
Ingredient 1: Set goals
Having goals and aspirations to work towards is an important part of being a human. It gives you a sense of meaning and purpose, as well as keeping you on a path towards where you want to go. Goals challenge you to reflect on what it is that matters to you most, and encourage you to go after that. Furthermore, working with a coach gives you a space to have your limiting beliefs and language challenged, as well as, providing a space to be empowered to write a roadmap your life that works for you.
Ingredient 2: Develop yourself
As Usain Bolt says, ‘win from within,’ pointing to the importance of developing yourself, both personally and professionally. Self-development helps you to become more self-aware, as well as helping you gain new skills and knowledge. This is an integral part of fulfilment, and in turn, success, as it helps you stay curious, engaged and skilled in all aspect of your life.
Ingredient 3: Be thankful
Every day is filled with a range of ups and downs, and life is constantly testing our resilience. Our ability to be thankful in the face of such adversity can make all the difference. This is because, gratitude can help you improve your resilience, self-esteem, and psychological health, by reducing toxic emotions. As such, it’s no surprise that choosing to be thankful is a key ingredient in the recipe of success and fulfilment.
Ingredient 4: Embrace your uniqueness
There is only one of you, and that in itself is already a wonderful success. So, embrace your uniqueness and the quirks that make you different, because these traits are your superpower. When you learn to embrace, love and accept yourself, you can start to live your truth – and that’s what it means to be fulfilled and successful.
