#41 Fulfillment Series: Why I choose Fulfillment over Happiness
Why I Choose Fulfillment Over Happiness
In this episode of The Luminous Life Podcast, we dig into why fulfillment, not happiness, is the true measure of success. Annie shares personal experiences and insights on how chasing happiness can be a fleeting pursuit, while fulfillment provides lasting meaning, resilience, and deep satisfaction. Annie explores how emotions like frustration or discomfort can still exist within a fulfilling life, and why true alignment with your purpose leads to a sense of peace that happiness alone can’t offer.
Key Takeaways:
- Happiness is temporary, fulfillment is lasting – Happiness depends on external factors and can be short-lived, while fulfillment is rooted in purpose and alignment.
- Fulfillment remains, even in hard times – Unlike happiness, fulfillment isn’t about avoiding discomfort but about embracing purpose, even through challenges.
- The pursuit of happiness can be misleading – Constantly chasing happiness can leave you feeling unfulfilled, while focusing on fulfillment creates a deeper, more meaningful life.
- True success is about fulfillment, not just feeling good – Fulfillment leads to a sustainable sense of purpose and impact, rather than momentary highs.
