#281: The Relationship of Receiving and Fulfillment  

In this Friday Facts episode, I am sharing my thoughts on receiving and fulfillment. This concept came up while I was recently recording another podcast episode.  Let’s talk about receiving and fulfillment. 

In today’s episode we discuss:
1) Self-fulfillment is defined as the “act of fulfilling one's ambitions, desires, etc., through one's own efforts” (unknown).  It only comes from within, no one can do it or be that for us.  When we live in the present moment, we are able to  practice gratitude. When we are experiencing anxiety we are living in the future and when we are living with regret we are living in the past.  The present is the only moment we can control. When we are fulfilled, we love ourselves first. We fill our cup first because we are aware that to give and receive in this world comes down to knowing that we are worthy and worth receiving.  

2) When we are seeking fulfillment outside of ourselves or waiting for someone to fill this role, we never fill it.  No one else can fill this space for us but us. No one completes or fixes us.  Others can add to our lives, but no one can complete it for us.  The more time we spend searching outside of ourselves, the more empty we tend to feel. 

3) If we are not open to receiving from others we are not seeing or valuing our worth.  That means that we don’t tend to ask for help or support, and even if someone does reach out to us to support us, we may block ourselves from receiving that support.  Receiving and Fulfillment truly do compliment each other and go hand in hand.
