Seeking Fulfillment

For many fulfillment is something that’s constantly sought and it’s a direct link to what keeps the mind in a state of agitation. When things are accepted as they are, seeking fulfillment is no longer necessary…

We live in a fulfillment cultured society. When it’s cold we desire warmth and when it’s hot we desire to be cool. Chasing after this fulfillment is how so many spend their entire lives. If it’s not learned to be with what happens and not constantly push it away, there will be very little peace in one’s life. Most live in a place where they’re afraid of being unfulfilled because it means facing themselves. Although our true essence is the love of all creation, this isn’t seen because the Conditioned Mind doesn’t allow it to be so.

Once discipline is developed that allows you to at least slow the mind down a bit, it can be seen how chasing after fulfillment occupies most of your waking hours; you’re in a constant fix it mode of trying to have things the way you think they need to in order to be at peace. The problem with this is nothing stays the same so you have to constantly make adjustments. It’s truly exhausting to live in this way, but it’s the way most live. It doesn’t have to be this way, but the only way it won’t be is if you can be with what occurs and not want it any different than what it is. This doesn’t mean you can’t have fulfillment, just understand being fulfilled isn’t what allows you to be at peace. Only accepting things as they are will allow peace, and that’s only because you see the fulfillment in that…
