Be it in the professional or in the personal space, all of us desire fulfilment in our life. The feeling of contentment gives us a sense of calm, keeps us aligned with our goals and makes us more productive. For years, you might have strived hard and looked in every direction to find fulfilment. But somehow it has remained outside your periphery.

Fulfilment, joy

So, is this “Fulfilment in life and career” a mirage or a truth that can be attained through some methods, steps? Let us explore the possibilities today-

Busting the myth of fulfilment:

Let us first understand what is fulfilment. Fulfilment, as the word, suggests when you are complete within yourself. When you are not grudging, grumbling, whining or regretting about your life and career, then you have attained the state of fulfilment.

It’s a beautiful way of living where you can just thrive being yourself as well as get all the things that are important to you. Fulfilment does not mean renouncing everything and living a saint’s life.

What I want you to understand is that you can live a corporate life with all the hustle and bustle and still be content with your job and life. Sounds excited? Worth exploring? Read on to decode the hacks.

Rise above the conflict between life and career:

Most employees are struggling to balance life and career. The endless meetings, internal and external competition, huge expectations, fierce deadlines have made their career challenging. No surprise, their personal life is going for a toss. As a result, most professionals are dealing with depression, mental trauma and other severe consequences.

Are you one of them? It’s time to learn how to balance life and career and
find a way to live with fulfilment.

One of my mentors Rajiv Talreja calls this “The AND Life” where there is no struggle between work and family. It’s where you have clarity on what you want to accomplish in each area of your life. You have not given up either but responsibly playing all the duties and have the best of both as well as all other areas that are important to you.

How to elevate to this state? Understand your roles and responsibilities.

Most professionals are not completely clear of their goals and managing expectations. Either they overplay or underplay leading towards a disastrous career.

Finding the best career option is winning the half battle of living a fulfilled life. And once you have your office in control, you can spend more time with your family and meet other personal commitments.

This starts with having through understanding and control over your professional life.

The most important step is here to get clarity of goals in all areas of your life be it health, relationships, spirituality, money. It helps you to be at the command of your life.

Start working towards that today.

Be accountable for the actions and results:

The fulfilment in life and career will not just happen in one day. Serious efforts are needed to arrive at this stage. Along with absolute clarity, you also need to be accountable for every action and the result.

Sincerity in action and taking complete responsibility for your personal and professional roles is pivotal here. With each passing day, the absolute accountability of your life will help you to improve your work ethics and personal relationships, taking you closer towards a life that you have always desired. It is time for you to consider working with an accountability partner.
