For decades, I unthinkingly accepted the premise that fulfillment was achieved through intellect and action. Then I noticed quantifiable success didn’t guarantee fulfillment, within myself or even among the wildly successful. Then I noticed if my focus was on being present and empty, I wouldn’t stay that way–well-being inevitably rushed in, for no external reason whatsoever. So now, that’s what I focus on.
I still have goals and activities and pursuits, but I’ve come to realize that my focus is paramount. As far as the actual source of fulfillment, you could give it any number of names. I just prefer to trust that it’s there.
