Are you still looking for your fulfillment or something that makes your heart beat faster? And how do you treat yourself, what level is your self-love at?

Apparently, they can be silly and meaningless questions. However, the truth is only one, you need to go after what makes you feel good, what makes your heart happy, your soul. It's finding your purpose and throwing yourself headlong, it's not fair that you waste time to please others and put yourself aside. Your achievement, whether personal or professional, is what matters.

How to make the achievement of your new goal

They say that for a man to be fulfilled he needs to plant a tree, have a child and write a book. I dare say more: it needs to have a purpose, a legacy to be remembered after it is gone. In other words, when the lights of your existence go out, at least for those closest to you, you must be sure that life was worth living.

• Find your purpose;

• Act, you are not all that you believe you are;

• Manage your time;

• Build relationships;

• Take care of yourself, your achievement depends on it.

None of this happens if you don't have a minimum of pride, and self-love and believe that yes, you didn't come to this life just passing through. Besides, we already have too many people on this planet who only add weight to the earth. And looking at you now, I'm absolutely sure you never thought of being one of these.

Also, you know in there that lame excuses like I don't have time, I'm too old or what others will think won't stick. Therefore, the first two excuses will only be accepted if you intend to die tomorrow, otherwise, as much as life is a breath, enjoy every second you have at your disposal. Now, as to what others will think, that's not your problem. So, roll up your sleeves, because your achievement and the twinkle in your eyes are your priority and should be your goal, too.

Find your purpose

What do you enjoy doing? What are the activity that makes your heart beat differently and your eyes shine? Do not. Here it is not acceptable to say, "I don't know how to do anything, there is nothing I can teach other people".

However, first of all, you are not being asked to be the new Thomas Edison (inventor of the light bulb) or Steve Jobs, to transform and make a new technological revolution in the 21st century. In other words, land and put both feet on the ground.

How am I going to find my purpose? Think! Take time to reflect on who you are and what you want to achieve in life. In other words, find what brings you joy and passion and use that to inform and fuel your decisions and goals.

When you receive the first feedback from those you impacted, you will understand the satisfaction that this causes. That is, a sign that you are on the right path.

Act, you are not everything you believe you are

Except for very rare exceptions, nobody will show up at your door looking for you or will discover your qualities if you don't show up. Also, once you've determined what your purpose is, it's time to roll up your sleeves and break a sweat.

“Commit to working towards your goals and take small steps every day to get closer to achieving them.”

It was exposed in another text, it's no use wanting to embrace the world because it won't work. The trick here is one step at a time and when you reach them, celebrate.

One thing that bothered me a lot was not seeing results in what I was doing. There are texts that I think are very good and nobody reads them, nobody sees them, nobody loves me and nobody wants me. However, there are others that I think suck and I get super positive feedback. If I was anxious, I would even understand that.

Furthermore, in my specific case, I have been writing more consistently for a year now, during this same period in which I decided to write for a living. That is, it is stupid of me to want to compare myself with someone who has been writing for 10 years, I have to put myself in my place. The comparison must be with myself and fulfillment comes from that result.

So if there's one piece of advice I can give you is to keep moving, do it, do it and keep doing it. It is practice that leads to excellence and brings recognition and all the benefits that come with it.

Manage your time

Balance is essential for everything in our lives. Also, you must be tired of hearing your grandmother say, “everything that is too much is bad”. In other words, there is time to focus and work and there is time to rest your mind.

There will be days when you'll need to move that scale and dedicate yourself more to the responsibility of work than to the relaxation that leisure promotes. However, the more equalized these two areas are, the more rewarding your journey will be.

No matter how committed you are to your goals and objectives, there are times when idleness is necessary. That is, it will not be negatively impacted by doing nothing and then resting.

Build relationships

Anyone who knew me about 10 years ago won't believe what I'm going to write here. People need people! Pets are not a substitute for interpersonal relationships.

Networking is important, it will be one of the drivers for your achievement to be complete, or for you to reach the goals outlined above. However, surround yourself with positive people who will support you on your journey.

Friends come and go, but keep those who are always with you, feeling the same sparkle in your eyes with your success. As well as, they will give you a shoulder in the slips that we take in life.

“However, everything is a two-way street. Without reciprocity, there is no balance."

Build meaningful relationships with people who also have similar purposes, but know how to live with contradictions without wanting to impose your will. Furthermore, wearing sandals of humility is also part of anyone's success.

Take care of yourself, your fulfillment depends on it

This seems obvious to me. However, we focus on more complex and even utopian things and forget the obvious.

What good will it do you to run, struggle and die on the beach? If you got this far in this text, I can say almost categorically that this is not your wish.

In this part, I believe that something I have to share. That is, click here and see with your own eyes, and then if you want we can talk. As well as what not to do.

Anyway, prioritize your mental and physical health. Find ways to manage stress, engage in regular activity, and eat as healthily as possible. Taking care of yourself is part of self-love, it increases your self-esteem and makes you pursue your purpose.

Finally

There are no absolute truths in what is written above. As well, if you're comfortable and well sitting in your comfort zone, it's ok.

I sat in this place for many years, worried about others. Waiting for these to do what was my responsibility. Also, worried about other people's opinions. Result: a bitter, frustrated, and unhappy person.

My grass is not greener than yours and is as or more imperfect than yours. It took me time to really figure out what made my eyes sparkle or what my purpose in life was. But before all that, I had to learn to take care of myself.

When you mature and learn who you really are, the realization becomes a growing part of your path. The vibration of achievements begins in small things and the work is continuing to reach the big goals. Tell me below, in the comments section, what you are doing in pursuit of your fulfillment.
