to live life fulfilled….

let me pose a singular thought… how do you live your life in a way that it is self fulfilling? do you do so by being a saint and giving until u cant anymore? or do you go through taking till you have it all ? or maybe neither do you go through only concerned about yourself , head down pushing forward until your comfortable. you my even self indulge in a life of debauchery and mischief to give it some sense of meaning? there is such a wide spectrum when your thinking about like life in a fulfilling manner.

now I’m not talking about “what’s the meaning of life”, we can save that for another blog, I’m talking about how do you see a fulfilling life. what do you do in your daily lives , what little task or major accomplishments do you have or have had that you smile about and make you think to yourself ” yeaa I’m doing this life thing right”. because if “the mystery of human existence lies in not just staying alive but in finding something to live for” you have to find something in life that gives meaning to your actions and gives something anything back to the world. in my humble opinion at that point is when you are living life to its fullest extent.

to be honest there was a lot that i was doing previously that i now know was causing me to not live life to its most satisfying extent.. but i, also like a lot of people in the world had a hole i was trying to fill. weither it was childhood trauma , mommy issues, daddy issues, negative environment, i was like a lot of us trying to fill that whole and in doing so i thought i was living a fulfilling life. i was filling it with all the major sins and i was breaking every commandment their is almost, in an act to play a part that i was forced to play and in it i thought i was gaining some semblance of fulfillment.

but for me i think it was when i was showing my second oldest Journee flash cards and she finally started to call out “that’s a star daddy” or ” i know that one its a school bus “. that’s when i knew ” this is really living life”, to be able to pass down knowledge, to be able to give something more tangible then a dollar bill. to give knowledge……. to give someone a fish you feed them for a day , but you teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime…….
