I have the same problem as you, searching for newer and better things, never finding any real fulfillment. Constantly on the move for self-improvement. Maybe perfection is just an ideal, we never will reach it.

Nice post, and a great reminder of what is important. EFT, along with many other healing methods, focuses on self acceptance without contingencies.

[...] is why I said fulfillment is found not through attainment but by letting go. In the letting go, we are releasing our attachment to that which we have sought [...]

Evan, yes it comes down to the intention behind the activity. The thing is though, when we let go of our attachment to fulfilling our needs, we allow them to be fulfilled.

Stylehabits, thanks for the comment. The balance is found not in the activity but in the willingness to make peace with the way life is, from here one can take creative action with ease.

Alex, yeah man, when one can be ok with what they perceive as imperfect, they realize their own perfection. Thanks for the addition!

Justice, thanks man I appreciate it and good talking with you the other night as well.

Aran, thanks for the words of wisdom. Now that is one intense way to let go, lol.

Ned, exactly! running around in circles is a good way to describe action that comes out of the need or the search for fulfillment. Taking action doesnt necessarily mean you are making progress…and what you may perceive as stagnating may actually be the foundation for a whole new you.

As for finding your purpose, in my experience, the more one lets go, the more space is cleared for one’s purpose to rise to the surface. It is not possible to not live your purpose, its just that you may or may not be aware that you are living it.

Oliver, yes I have now come to understand what the buddha says about desires though the path does not need to be long and hard. it can be fun and enjoyable when one is connected to spirit and the present moment.
