Fulfillment isn’t the same as success. You can be successful but unfulfilled. That’s where things like relationships, spirituality, emotional development come into play.
Those things can amplify your perceived level of fulfillment or make it worse.
Notice I said fulfilment not contentment, as being content is another word entirely.
Sometimes it’s the very lack of fulfilment and contentment that leads people to the heights of success unheard of.
My crippling low self worth is the very driver for me to prove myself and to the world I have value by the expensive things I have. But the very things I attach my self worth to is reinforcing that fact I’m nothing without it. It’s a temporary crutch that I need to heal myself with which may take me an entire lifetime.
Regardless, me attempting to heal myself of this low self worth takes much longer than me attempting to be successful. At least when I’m successful I can afford the best therapist. lol.
