Unlocking the Feeling of Satisfaction: A Personal Fulfillment Guide

According to the good folks at the Oxford Dictionary, satisfaction is the fulfillment of one's wishes, expectations, or needs, or the pleasure derived from this. No matter the type of satisfaction in question, fulfillment is the key. That’s what is needed.

Years and years ago, someone published a simple formula about achieving satisfaction in life:

Satisfaction Reality / Expectations

This formula is based on the idea that one’s happiness levels are inversely proportional to one’s expectations—try to keep your expectations low. Yes, satisfaction can often be thought of as the ratio of reality to expectations. If the reality of a situation meets or exceeds our expectations, we may feel satisfied. On the other hand, if the reality falls short of our expectations, we may feel disappointed or unsatisfied.

Satisfaction is a subjective experience, and different people may have different expectations and levels of satisfaction in the same situation. Additionally, satisfaction can be influenced by many other factors such as our values, emotions, and personal circumstances.

Living Precepts for a Fulfilling Life

By living the precepts of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, and Self-Control, one can strive for a fulfilling life. These principles are foreign to the 'Natural Man,' and people may not agree because they have different ideas about what satisfaction means.

The Importance of Self-Discovery

My approach to satisfaction is having or building a healthy self-image. Knowing your value is crucial. Validate yourself today, and you can be the sweetest person to someone earlier and be called the worthless person later. That's why it's imperative to KNOW THYSELF. It's about self-discovery—understanding your weaknesses and strengths, what you like, and what you don’t like.

Never let someone forcefully push their opinions upon you. Self-respect and self-love are conjoined twins to me. They can positively change your whole outlook on life. They set the wheels in motion on what YOU will and WILL not accept. The first and foremost person YOU should love and be truthful to is yourself. These characteristics will empower you to have a greater and more meaningful life. They are a catalyst to living a life of satisfaction.

Giving the ESSENTIAL Tools to Create a Better Life

To have a rewarding life, you must possess the ESSENTIAL tools to create a better life. God is the gateway to an even more fulfilling life. It's the cherry on top of life that unlocks all potentiality, but we must first believe to get plugged in.
