Dig Deep To Drive Your Fulfillment

I’ve come to learn that personal fulfillment is often in direct proportion to how deep you have to dig to deliver a result.

Outsiders may view results and congratulate us on a job well done - and many times it is warranted.

But at the same time, we all have that inescapable editor within us who keeps the “real score” on how much we really had to give to deliver that result. Perceived successful results achieved at half-throttle and half-spirit only groom us for mediocrity and distance us from our true potential.

Finding a positive path forward in the face of genuine distress and uncertainty is the essence of digging deep.

So while it is incredibly hard to do in the moment, try to be grateful for your deepest challenges and frustrations. They are powerful opportunities to strengthen your perspective, resolve and resourcefulness. And just like training a muscle, your competency and strength grows with each repetition.

Listen to your editor and push that score card to the edge of your boundaries - they’re far beyond what you believe them to be today.
