How do I know I'm spending my life doing things that will still feel worth it when I'm eighty?
That question has been bothering me for years while reading Nietzsche, Marcus Aurelius, and the rest.
So this week I put ten famous definitions of fulfillment into one place. It's a fun, rare exercise to see them laid out side-by-side.
Yet after reading them all, I still didn't have an answer to my original question.
It took me some time to realize I didn't need a better 'definition' or quote on fulfillment at all really.
I needed a practical filter, for my overly rational self, that I could use whether I'm weighing a career path or standing on a ledge wondering "whether or not this is all worth it".
Frankly, that's how I arrived at my own modern definition of fulfillment. And, more importantly, how to recognize the direction youβre heading in.
I have a feeling this mental exercise is going to stay with you for awhile. I can't wait to hear you own perspective!
