How To Live A Fulfilling Life

Man was created to leave his mark on this world. He was created to harness the power within him and direct it into the world around him. Man shares this power with God who is the original creator. He created man to be like him, to walk in his footsteps. To live a fulfilling life a man must fully live. He must fully act out all that is within his soul. Every man has things that bind him with other men and things that are his own unique way. Each of us, men, have a calling within us that we must express to the world.

It doesn’t matter the riches we acquire, the foes we conquer, the women we bang, or even the family we create if we do not live to our fullest potential. If we don’t live out what is within our hearts and souls. To live a fulfilling life a man must express all that is within him, there is no other way. Don’t be another who goes to the grave with regret in his heart. To have the world darken and silence what is within you.

Men express theirs hearts in different ways. Aristotle was to be a philosopher, Richard the Lionheart a crusader, Leonidas a warrior, Michelangelo a painter, Alexander the Great a conqueror, and so on and so forth. These men knew their path and followed it. That is why they lived fulfilling lives. When they went to their graves they could do so with a smile on their lips because they left it all out and could go into the next world with their head held high.

What Is A Fulfilling Life?

It will be different for you than it is for me. But there are traits that every version of a fulfilling life have. Purpose being the prime one. When a man has a purpose and sets his mind to it he can shape reality to his will and make what is in his mind come out into being. Mindset is everything. Everything first starts in the mind. You must have an image even if faint of where you want to go and what you want to do. Who you want to be.

This image will day by day become reality if you continue to focus on it. More than anything else this is what animates man. That fire burning within him. It can cause men to do great things and to overcome any limitations. But first you must have a rough sketch (even a faint idea will work) of what it is you want out of life. Most men’s natural reactions are to say money or women. While both those things are needed in some form they are not a man’s true desire.

You have to dig deeper. Say you had all the money and women in the world what else would you want? Okay now say you had that what would you want? Keep going until you hit a dead end. It’s very likely that that dead end has something to do with what will bring you fulfillment in life. That will lead you to living a fulfilling life. Like I said before it’s different things for different people and it is the journey that animates us. The pursuit of the image in our mind. Who knows it may change the further you progress down your road, but as long as you are progressing you are doing well.

Distractions

Distractions can kill your quest for the fulfilling life. But they are something that must be dealt with. For example if a man isn’t having the sex life he wants it is going to be hard for him to focus on philosophical discussions because quite frankly he is going to be thinking “I don’t give a shit about this, I want to get laid”. Sure someone older and wiser could tell him that it’s not that big of a deal but until he experiences it for himself all the words in the world aren’t going to do anything. Hence he must learn how to be attractive to women and realize on his own how that won’t lead to fulfillment.

The same is true with money and this is something many never get out of. Most trade their time for money and end up with a horrible bargain. They end up in perpetual slavery working away their lives while never making it ahead. Entrepreneurship offers a way out but it is no easy road. But it is a road worth taking. However when someone is worrying about how they are going to pay the bills it is hard to focus on what constitutes a fulfilling life. Which is why most go to the grave living an unfulfilled one.

You must get a handle on these things before you can hope to live a fulfilling life. Women, money, and more than both of those combined your own masculinity. This is why I address all of these things at this site because they are all needed to make you a true man. To make you live a life that will be filled with fulfillment and happiness. Not because it will be easy but because it will be worth it. Because it is what you want to do. If you asked a great writer if it was easy to write all the books that he wrote he would probably tell you no it wasn’t easy but it was worth it. Because he found fulfillment and happiness in it.

Summary

Living a fulfilling life does not happen by accident. It is something that you must consciously think of. Then you must bring that image in your mind into reality by focusing it day in and day out. By focusing on it everyday you bring it closer to reality. Do something everyday to get you closer to your ideal, to that image that you have in your head. Throw yourself into something worth throwing yourself into.

None of this will be possible until you get all distractions under control. If you don’t understand women, nor business, nor your own masculinity among other things. You won’t be able to live a fulfilling life. You must get past these parts and get them under control before you can live a fulfilling life. There is no way around this. You can’t jump over this, you must go through it. Which may also take some time but you will come out a better man in the process. This I know, it will be worth it. Don’t die with your dream unlived, you’re a man, fulfill your duty as a creator and create for yourself your fulfilling life.
