People seem to spend a lot of time looking for the meaning of life, or at least how to live a happier, more fulfilling life.
Here are the 5 Ways To Living A Fulfilling Life
1. Live A Life Of Prayer. Prayer needs to be a top priority and a daily habit. In your prayers, besides going through your needs and wants, make sure to take time to thank Almighty God (Yahweh) in heaven for the many ways He has blessed you in your life. And take time to pray for others. Prayer must be part of our spiritual tools, food, and consciousness.
2. Know Yourself. Fulfillment lies in knowing yourself – the good and the bad – and accepting it. You are so much more than your job or your house or your relationships. The innermost you is full of potential. All you have to do is look beyond the externals, beyond the ego to discover your true purpose and blossom into your best you.
3. Tune Into Your Innermost You. Meditation is the easiest way to cut through the noise of everyday life and really listen to your innermost you. Meditation carves out space where you are detached from the bustle and demands of your day. Even better, developing a regular meditation practice will help you cultivate inner peace and a new calmness that stays with you even outside your meditation session.
4. Choose Clarity. People who are content and fulfilled in their life don’t have illusions about finding happiness in possessions. They know and accept their true selves, their strengths and weaknesses.
You can cultivate clarity by meditating on the fundamental soul questions: Who am I? What do I want? Why am I here? Think of the times in your life when you felt happy, useful, and purposeful. Think of how you felt during the process rather than the outcome.
Keep a journal to write down all the insights that come to you during meditation. The clarity you gain from these insights will help guide you in taking aligned action.
5. Live Mindfully. You can integrate your new clarity and awareness into your regular daily activities by choosing to practice one-pointed awareness. This is simply taking one activity, which can be anything from helping the homeless to volunteering for a good cause, and giving it your full, focused attention. Don’t let your attention drift, just stay in the present moment and observe every aspect of this activity. This form of mindful and selfless acts toward others can have a very powerful effect that helps to build your ‘living life to the fullest’ moments.
Yes, it’s easy to try and find contentment in buying bigger, better, more expensive things, from cars and homes to watches and designer handbags. But just collecting more and more material things doesn’t make you happy. It makes you frustrated and dissatisfied. The answer to fulfillment is much simpler than you think. It’s within your deepest self. You just have to find and live it every day. Thank you for reading this post of the 5 Ways To Living A Fulfilling Life. 🙂
I totally agree with you about living prayerfully, it makes a huge difference every day. If I am sinking a bit, if I pray I can bring myself out of it. Thank you for sharing 5 great ways to live our lives and be good to ourselves.
Such simple but meaningful tips. The first is most important to me, I start my morning and end the day with prayers. Lia has started saying her prayers too, she’s too young to actually know what she’s doing but copies me and I’m sure God hears her. ❤️
Such simple but important tips. Thanks for sharing.
I am an all-time strong promoter of mindfulness. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful reminders.
