The other day I was listening to Tom Bilyeu on a podcast when I stopped to highlight this part.
Question was: “What is the cocktail that you know you need for fulfillment?”
He answered:
“You must work hard to acquire skills that matter to you and that allow you to elevate yourself and others in service of a goal that's both exciting and honorable.”
Quite well put.
Then continues:
“When you have that cocktail that's fulfillment, so people can say whatever they want, and I know if I'm actually out there every day doing my best to help people, I'm gonna feel good about it, I know it’s it's in my heart and so if i'm showing up no matter what people say then that will give me the emotional resilience.
So when you’re fulfilled you’re able to withstand even moments of unhappiness or discomfort – When you believe in what you’re fighting for it gets easier to push through.
If you don’t have that, if you were just trying to get rich, or get famous, or get approval, and it feels like the entire world is piling on you, you’re going to be done with this soon.”
