How to unlock Passion Purpose & Personal Fulfillment in your life
Synopsis By: Peter Hector
Even in today’s age of abundance, high technology and some level of spiritual awareness, man’s quest for personal fulfillment remains elusive.
Few people even those in their 80’s or 90’s can honestly say they have achieved complete self-fulfillment in their lives. But those who have had the good fortune to experience this achievement admit that there is no higher high than the gratification and self-satisfaction derived from self-fulfillment.
The hollow feeling of discontent has driven mankind to seek fulfillment in every conceivable location on earth, but few have deciphered the coordinates of a common unifying factor which holds the secret to personal fulfillment. This common factor which is an integral ingredient of the core composition of all mankind needs to be identified and accurately determined to enable us to move to the next level, which is the self-fulfillment most people crave.
And what is this common unifying factor? Have you ever wondered why you experience a feeling of self satisfaction, when by giving of yourself you cause significant positive changes in someone’s life? Or, why you feel the chills of happiness down your spine when you witness the happy ending to a tragic real life or even a fictional event? Or, why do most people experience a high when they are able to alleviate suffering or put a smile on someone’s face by simply offering a helping hand? The answers to these questions lie in the understanding of the purpose of our existence.
Why are we here? Or more directly, what is the purpose for our existence? The short answer is: To do whatever we can to assist those less fortunate who knowingly or unknowingly need our help. We are all part of a vast universe and we are connected to each other. Every act we perform, conscious or unconscious which is directed toward the betterment of someone else’s life moves us one step closer to achieving our own personal fulfillment.
So why then does so much suffering, hate and destruction exist in the world given we are all here to help each other? For example, why does man find it necessary to declare war on other men? Survival! Man’s need for survival has been well documented from as far back as we know. For centuries mankind has had to resort to extreme measures to protect him against natural forces, predators and at a later stage from other men. Over time, this need for survival has disconnected mankind from his true nature – mankind’s bond with the universe. Selfishness, hate and fierce competitiveness among men have been a direct result of this separation, and self-preservation and aggrandizement has since become the order of the day. Man’s greatest preoccupation today is the need for security power and approval.
The purpose of this book is to provide fuel for a thought process designed to:
1. Guide you away from the primitive concept of self survival; a model which has become obsolete in this era of abundance, and where there is more than enough resources to adequately sustain each and every human on earth. And to lead you into a state of understanding that today, survival does not necessarily mean elimination but collaboration with each other. In today’s global playing field it has become necessary to join forces with even your competitors.
2. Demonstrate that each and every individual has a unique contribution to make to society. You are the only one capable of fulfilling the task that has been assigned to you. No one else possesses the composition of natural talents and acquired skills needed to complete your unique mission. And for this reason you and the contribution you make represent an essential cog in the big wheel of human civilization.
3. Propagation of the fact that the realization of everyone’s personal fulfillment is intricately intertwined with the reasons why that individual has been placed on this earth. And it’s only when you discover your true purpose, will you unlock the passion needed to fuel the desire to carry out your unique task. It is then an only then you will begin to experience the self-satisfaction and personal fulfillment most people find so elusive.
4. Suggest practical ways you can discover the special attributes you possess – the qualities that make you the unique being you are. And to recommend ways you can channel your special gifts in a direction where they can produce the maximum benefit to society.
5. Discuss how to make the transition from where you are today to a life of passion and self-fulfillment. You may genuinely want to make a contribution to the wellbeing of mankind, but given the state in which civilization finds itself today this task may prove to be more than daunting to most people. In today’s world good Samaritans soon become easy targets for exploitation. And when you are faced with the economic realities of life it becomes easy to forget the true purpose of your existence.
