What is Fulfillment? [Spirit & Mind Elevation]

Want Fulfillment? [Spirit & Mind Elevation]

Intro 

We all strive after fulfillment, seeking out the satisfaction we know we can have – if only we could figure out how to attain it. 

 What most people don’t realize is that the surest way to find fulfillment is to stop looking so hard, and instead, focus on the relationships surrounding them. 

 A Harvard study conducted over 75 years has discovered that the most critical contributor to finding fulfillment is in having deep, meaningful relationships. Things like healthy interactions with those who are family or intimate friends are vital. In a nutshell, close, loving relationships make us happy, healthy and fulfilled. 

How do you go about creating those relationships, and thereby gain fulfillment and satisfaction in your life? 

Welcome to the world of positive alacrity. 

Positive alacrity is a tool that will ultimately unlock our current relationships and take them to the next level.

What Goes Wrong in Relationships 

When polled, people from all walks of life pinpointed several reasons why relationships fail. They include: 

 1. Unmet expectations 

2. Lack of Communication 

3. Lack of Commitment

 4. Emotional distance

 Perhaps all these issues are at least partially due to our hectic modern world. We assume relationships will still be viable when we get around to interacting with the other person. There's always something urgent to do. Work and family obligations leave little time for relaxation, let alone maintaining healthy relationships. 

 We can’t just blame the problem on our work taking over our personal lives though. Work relationships take up just as much time and effort as personal ones. Often, especially when attempting to grow a business, we tend to ignore the current loyal customers because we’re too busy trying to attract new ones. Or we’re not cultivating the relationships we need through networking, which keeps us from moving on to the next level of our career path. 

Business or personal, relationships take work and effort, and they need to be cultivated and tended to, or they grow stale and stagnate.
