The two master skills of life are:
The Science of Achievement
and the art of fulfillment - Tony Robbins
The Backstory
I had a slightly different upbringing than compared to your typical 2 parents supporting their child, loving him every step of the way, standing on the side of the sports field is proud of watching their son play his chosen sport. And if you did have that upbringing, that's incredible and this is still for you!!
Becuase of this, when I started doing well in life, building a successful business with a solid relationship, I found it hard!! Hard because I never felt like I had achieved anything, and what I was doing did not feel at all fulfilling! I was helping people feel the best they had ever felt in their health through my business, winning all expenses paid trips around the world with my company and yet I felt dead inside!! F&Ked Up Right??
Until I read the last 2 chapter of Tony Robbins - Unshakeable
It tells the story of Robin Williams. A father, a comedian, world-renowned and award-winning actor, a philanthropist. This man had so many titles to his name, award-winning movies he had stared in, charities he had started that fed thousands of people a year. Anything this guy wanted could make happen and made it happen 100%!
And yet one day he went and killed himself ...
What I Realised
This hit home hard for me because here is a man who achieved extremely incredible achievements and yet was so unhappy he took his own life! Robin had not mastered these two skills and paid the ultimate price for it.
We live in such an instantaneous world that if Google takes longer than 2 seconds to respond, we think the computer is broken. We are never really present to the greatness that is in every single one of us. Every single one of us reading this is alive, has a heart that beats that we didn't have to ask for, it was given to us! Yet we struggle to really feel like we are achieving because we are so quick to compare, there is always someone doing better and we are.
Every single one of us has made at least one positive impact on someone's life yet we don't feel fulfilled.
Make a choice to feel like you are achieving and being fulfilled every single day!
Master these two skills everyone!
Stumbled on your page and this post really hits it home. You have to be selfish. One must be happy with themselves before spreading that to others.
Wow, that's some heavy "food for thought" material. I appreciate you sharing this post with the steemit community, it's great to have some content that provokes the thought process in different ways.
