This blog post is for Beth - we had a discussion at lunch today that started me thinking.
She was saying that her work is not fulfilling right now. And she was talking about what she wants to do that will be fulfilling. THen she asked what fulfilled me.
And sad to say, but right now, I don't have an answer right now. I am in a ditch, I feel like, and I know jobs will come soon and all that. But I sort of feelm like I lost my aims and aspirations a bit recently. I dunno if it's just the lack of a job, or if it's the fact that I'm sending resumes to EVERY type of lawyer, whether or not I like that type of law.
So, here is how you all can help me. Answer the question yourselves. What fulfills you? Maybe I will be inspired by your answers. Who can say.
Peace.

I think that there are a lot of things that fulfill me.
I am happy being a science nerd.
I am happy being a vet assistant.
I am happy being an animal handler.
I am happy making money, as long as I have time to spend it.
I am happy scuba diving.
I am happy overseas.
I am happy having a job that accomplishes something good.
I am happy hanging out with Jason.
With the pets.
Its the things that make me happy that make me fulfilled. Just actually accomplishing things that make me happy really. Just simply doing something good fulfills me.
But then, I have 'simple' needs, and know this. It seems to take a lot for Jason to have Job satisfaction etc. You have to find what works for you.
But I must also confess my fulfillment comes from always wanting more but also being happy where I am. You can't always think everything else is better, that everyone else has it better. That your getting the crap shoot.
Some people are born dumb, they have to live with this and move on is the easiest example. But it branches out to other things. Like having a nice house and car etc. Perhaps that is something you will never attain due to just dumb luck, not for lack of trying.
Accept where you are and who you are now and be happy. Sure strive for better things, but never let a burning desire to always be better be the only thing that fulfills you.
I rambled, perhaps you get the idea.
I enjoy meeting challenges - to my thinking, to my endurance, to my patience. In general, meeting challenges to what I think myself capable of. I find fulfillment in discovering new depths of sorts and "growing as a person" (whatever that means).
If I'm not growing, improving in some way, that's when life starts to feel stagnant and unfulfilling.
That's my two-cents.
in the short term, exercise, music, and friends.
in the long term work, my career, and amy.
self-betterment.
....consider that while you wait to address your long term fulfillment, you have the opportunity to work on those short term ones....plus, they tend to be easier to focus on because they permeate the here and the now.
cheers
