I remember arriving at a point in my life where I had accomplished so much in my career and was miles away from where I started.

I achieved goals that I didn’t even think were possible to achieve, and yet I did.

I had it all… security, money, and lots of stuff, but despite all of this success, it wasn’t enough.

I had arrived at a place in my life where I understood that there has to be more to life than just your career, money, and things. I just needed to find out what that thing was and where to find it.

It’s hard to admit you’re unfulfilled, especially when your career is going so well. You may be worried that you’ll risk your success if you make changes. But in reality, true success is more than just professional success.

True success is feeling fulfilled in all areas of your life.

Tony Robbins said it best. He said, “Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.” And how right he is.

So if my story reflects yours rather than falling into the trap of self-doubt, I should’ve, and could’ve, now is the time to take control of your life and create a more balanced existence.

It can take time to figure out where to begin, so here are a few steps that you can take to get started.

First, figure out what fulfillment means to you. Everyone has different definitions of fulfillment.

Take some time to reflect on what matters to you and what you want out of life. Dig deep to discover what makes your heart beat faster and what you need to do to feel fulfilled.

Once you’ve identified what fulfillment means to you, create a plan of action. Make a list of small, achievable goals that will help you move closer to your vision of fulfillment.

To be totally honest with you, my first step was getting to know and simply reconnecting with myself, as I sure had lost myself along the way.

But other ways to find fulfillment could be learning a new skill, taking up a hobby that you’ve always wanted to start but never did, or volunteering in your community. These are only suggestions, of course, so make sure you find YOUR thing.

Next, make time to take care of yourself. Being successful often means putting our needs aside. So we think anyway. Yet taking care of ourselves is super important to living a fulfilling life and creating balance.

So getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and exercising regularly are some of those things, and I’m sure as the super achiever that you are, you will find your own ways to take care of yourself.

These activities will help you stay energized and motivated to pursue your goals because it matters to you and isn’t defined by the world around you or by someone else’s blueprint that you might have picked up along the way.

Finally, look for someone to help you. I know you do things your way and can do it. Yet if that is true, why didn’t you?

Listen, I’m in the same boat as you and have been where you are right now.

I thought I could too, but I didn’t know how, and when I didn’t, I would fall back on what I knew, and the loop kept going.

Don’t make the same mistake I did.

It’s ok not to have all the answers. There are people out there who can help you figure out the formula to being successful and fulfilled.

Look for mentors or coaches that can provide guidance and support to help you get what you’re looking for at this stage of your life.

Creating a balanced and fulfilled life is not easy, but it is 100% possible. And you have the power to [take control] of your life and make changes that will lead to [true success]. The important part is allowing someone to lead you the same way you have led others for many years.

If this all resonates with you, you are in front of an incredible journey. Probably the most extraordinary journey you could ever go on.

Time to stop doubting yourself and start believing that fulfillment is real and that with the right plan and support, you can create the successful and fulfilling life you are now dreaming about.

Look straight ahead, and deep inside you, you’re about to embark on life two hero’s journeys.

Safe journey!
