If you’re like me, you may experience times in your life when you’re looking for something, but you’re just not sure what it is…I don’t mean your keys or your phone…Maybe you want to live a life that has purpose, reward and challenge or maybe you just want a little more excitement.
Whatever type of greater fulfillment you seek in your life, these five secrets for living a more satisfying, fulfilling life will start you off in the right direction:
Do what you truly enjoy. Have you always wanted to read more books, write poetry or travel the world?
Whatever it is you really love to do, make a plan right away to do it and do it often.
Avoid making any excuses for why you “can’t” do something you really want to do.
Make it happen: put it in your calendar and turn down other invitations if you need to.
Set a goal and create an action plan to ensure you fit into your life whatever it is that makes your heart happy.
Open your mind to new possibilities. Be willing to make changes in your life. When you keep your mind open, interesting and exciting experiences will come your way. You might just stumble in to the most fulfilling life ever by trying something new.
Maybe you should take that job transfer to another state.
Perhaps you should join the club that a couple of your friends want you to explore.
Get to know someone totally new and different.
Save money for something special. Whatever it is you may yearn for – your own condo, a first cruise or a new car – focus on working and saving to get it. Part of living a great life is going after something you really want.
Set up a bank account to save specifically for the object or experience you desire. Make it a priority to make regular deposits to this account.
Saving money over a period of time and then buying your “dream” is incredibly fulfilling when the dream has a strong presence in your everyday life.
In fact, a fulfilling life involves several episodes of saving and obtaining milestones and rewards of your own choosing.
Enlarge your support network. Build strong relationships with a supportive, nurturing circle of friends and family members who cherish you. Almost nothing enriches your life more than having others close to you whom you can call at any time.
Develop a sense of adventure. When you wake up in the morning, look toward the next 24 hours with a sense of wonder and fascination.
Ask yourself: “What’s going to happen today?” Will you meet a new person that becomes a good friend? Will you be assigned to a new project at work and develop new skills in the process?
Whatever challenge comes your way, confront it and give it your very best effort. If you consider life’s trials as journeys and lessons, you’ll truly discover valuable knowledge about yourself and the world around you.
Life becomes fulfilling when you view it as a huge adventure made up of smaller fascinating experiences.
If you find yourself wanting more out of life, try to do whatever you enjoy, keep yourself open to new possibilities, and face each day with a spirit of adventure. Discover the passionate life that you deserve by embracing these five secrets to greater fulfillment. You’ll then truly being living your best life.
