Doing The Right Thing = Fulfillment



ful·fill·ment/fo͝olˈfilmənt/

Noun:
  1. Satisfaction or happiness as a result of fully developing one's abilities or character.
  2. The achievement of something desired, promised, or predicted: "winning the championship was the fulfillment of a childhood dream".



Are you an optimist or a pessimist?  Optimists believe that life for the most part is good.  Pessimists, on the other hand, feel and believe that life is mostly bad.  Well, guess what?  Life is both.  In order to find fulfillment in life it is imperative that you embrace this truth.  Why?  Because if you don't accept this as truth then you attitude in life will become apathetic.   Every difficulty that you encounter will be met with an attitude of negativity, lack of enthusiasm, lack of concern and despair.  You will experience emptiness.  You might survive, but I can almost guarantee that you won't be successful.

If you examine the lives of successful people you will discover that they always do what is right - no matter how they feel.  They don't worry about what other people say or what other people think.
                              They do the right thing........because it is the right thing to do.
When you do the right thing - you end up feeling good.  You have good self-esteem and personal satisfaction.  God is pleased.
                                      Doing the right thing will give you joy and fulfillment!
                                                      Doing the right thing will make you happy!
                                                                       
                                                                           

On the other hand, if you examine the lives of unsuccessful people you will notice that they wait to feel good before they do what's right.  Consequently, most of the time they usually don't do either.....they don't do what's right and they don't feel good.  Self-esteem for these types of people is very poor.  Also, if you don't do the right thing in your life then you begin to feel that you don't deserve success.  You start to sabotage your own success.

Are you looking for fulfillment in your life?   If so, I challenge you - learn to do the right thing no matter what the situation and no matter how you feel.

                           Choose to do what is right and avoid what is wrong!  


............At the end of the day this will be a determining factor whether or not you feel fulfilled.
