Can You Relate?There are all kinds of reasons why people might feel empty or unfulfilled. These range from mild dissatisfaction to a full-blown existential crisis.
If you find yourself wanting to feel less empty and more fulfilled, is it possible that you are trying to walk through a meaningful life using someone else’s shoe collection?

In a previous article on feeling unfulfilled, I explored many of the symptoms people experience when life drifts out of alignment.

However, this Guidepost explores the deeper architecture underneath why you might not be feeling fulfilled. Let’s take a quick assessment and see how you’re doing in the Fulfillment Department of your life.

My Invitation to YouNow that you’ve taken the assessment and read your results, I’d like to invite you to sit with one final question:

What could you do to improve your score by five points?I want to be clear about what I’m not asking with this question. I’m not asking…

What would you need to achieve, or buy, or prove?

I am asking you to consider what you need to spend more time honoring.

I’m wondering what you could acknowledge that you’ve been ignoring?

Over the years, I’ve found that fulfillment tends to emerge when the Salt of our Soul is brought into alignment through both words AND actions.

When the deepest, most brilliant and truest parts of us work together, life becomes more of an expression filled with vibrancy and inner-confidence.

Final ThoughtBefore you run off to create another goal, another intention, or another plan, I hope this article has helped you pause, listen, reflect.

I hope you’ll ask yourself:

What is one change that would move me five points closer to a deeply fulfilling life?Then take one small step in that direction. And keep going. I’m here cheering you on.
