TITLE: THE FULFILLED LIFE

The quote for today’s devotional is:

"The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service to others” - Mahatma Gandhi

Devotional:

What does it mean to live a fulfilled life?

Let me start by first telling a few things fulfilment is not: 

• It is not just about the possession of money or material things or external validation
• It is not the likes and followers on social media
• It is not how beautiful or handsome you are, nor is it the trendy clothes or latest phone.
• It is not being busy all the time, thinking that's what makes you important.
• It is not relying on others to make you happy
• It is not only thinking about yourself, without considering how you can make a positive impact on the world.

Do you remember how you felt when you finally mastered a difficult skill, or understood a difficult topic, or achieved goals you worked so hard for? That's fulfilment!"

Or think about a time when you helped someone, made someone smile or made a positive impact in someone’s life. That's fulfilment and that feeling is what makes life meaningful and worth living." 

A fulfilled life isn't about you alone, it's a life of impact.

"Fulfilment is like finding your 'why' in life. It's when you're doing things that make you happy, give you a sense of purpose, and make you feel like you're making a positive impact. It's like finding a puzzle piece that fits just right, and you feel like you're where you're meant to be.

Imagine you're doing something you love, like playing music, drawing, or helping others. You're so engaged that you lose track of time, and you feel like you're making a difference and providing a solution. That's fulfilment! It's a feeling of contentment, happiness, and purpose all mixed together."

And the icing on the cake is when the purpose aligns with God's plan. It must.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Have I ever felt fulfilled? What was I doing? and why did it bring me such a sense of fulfilment?
2. What may pose as obstacles that may prevent me from living a fulfilled life. How can I overcome them?
3. Why do I need to feel fulfilled?

Let us pray: 

May what I find fulfilling pass the test of worship unto God.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I am here because I am living a life of fulfilment
• I acknowledge God in all my ways.
• I will make someone smile today.

Start your day with a smile and make it more awe-mazing by touching someone’s life. Take good care and see you tomorrow.
