If you have taken the time to identify your own values and you have explored how your behavior does or doesn't match your values, you may or may not feel you are living a fulfilling life. Why might you feel unfulfilled even when you are successful?
The thing is, our journey to success is often soley goal focused. We strive toward a goal and feel glad for a bit. But then we find compelled to work toward another goal. Goal after goal we experience success and still don't feel fulfilled.
Perhaps we have failed to choose goals that are based on our values. We focus on the goal and lose sight of finding the values on the road to reaching each goal. We end up frustrated or disappointed even if we achieve that goal. Take a look at this brief and simplistic video to illustrate that point.
So much in our lives depend on our values, on who we are as a person. Take a look at your goals and the way you travel toward them.
Maybe you find that the goal you have chosen requires you to be away from your family a great deal of the time. And you highly value building a close and happy family. You may want to modify your goal and find other ways to achieve it that don't take you away from your family so much of the time.
Go back to look at your values and take a hard look at how your goals relate to them. Enjoy your journey to the successful completion of your goals.
