4 not-so-secrets to live a more fulfilled life
May 05, 2016
I think I'm right when I assume that we're all on the search for a more fulfilled life. It's as human as breathing that we're looking for something that gives our life a sense. We seek it in relationships, our career, money, status, clothes, beauty and the list goes on. Many of these things fill our life for sure, but there's only one thing that really fulfills. Here is what matters for me to live a truly fulfilled life. These things might not be a secret, but they're worth a thought.
1. Go for your passion
Life would be boring if there weren't things that would really excite me. Things I'm passionate about, things that make me jump out of bed in the morning. Things I decide to work hard for and stick to it. I don't know what it is for you. I'm passionated about sports and creating beautiful things. But I'm also convinced that passion isn't the only thing we need. Perseverance is essential to reach our goals. But without passion, there wouldn't either be a reason for us to start nor to keep going.
2. Live a life of love
It's one of my strongest craves to live a life in love, but also one of the hardest. Love is so essential and simple, still so challenging. Love will change the perspective how we see ourselves and how we see the people around us. It will change our view on the life we live.
3. Open your eyes for the details
The beauty of life will always lay in the details. In the delicious rhubarb ice-cream shared with friends on a warm spring day. In the moment when the wind blows through your hair and you just feel exactly in the right place. In the moment when you reach the top the mountain and the view takes your breath away. The moment when you accomplished something you worked on with all your strength. In the warming cup of tea on a cold morning. In the tight hug. The honest smile. In the second of a moment when it just feels perfect.
I started a journal some weeks ago and I decided to write down one beautiful moment from each day. I ask myself that question every evening "What lovely story happened today?". And I never missed to find at least one perfect detail.
4. Jesus
There is no one but Jesus. And no one else gives our life a real reason but him. He who loved us beyond and died on the cross to make a life possible for us, where we can live fulfilled and in freedom. I could search fulfillment at the ends of the earth. And all my dreams ever dreamed could come true. But I would never feel truly fulfilled without Jesus as my savior.
