    Why should you be unfulfillment proof?

    Being unfulfillment proof is your right and this blog post would inspire you to remove this word from your personal dictionary.

    In the modern day of hustle and bustle, the most common word that we hear from everyone is STRESS or ANXIETY. This is unfortunate but true since most of us come home from work feeling UNFULFILLED.

    As per me it is better to lead a short and fulfilling life rather than a long and unfulfilled life. Hence leading a fulfilling life is much better than leading a unfilled yet long life.

    As mentioned by Daniel Pink in his book When:

    Being Unfulfillment proof

    Unleash flow in your lives with the right mix of challenge and skill in your work.

    Next time you feel stressed or anxious, get yourself involved with work that leads to a flow experience and makes you feel energized.

    About the modern society if I could change something it would be enabling people to derive fulfillment at work.

    Fulfillment at work has become a modern day luxury wherein most of us return home dissatisfied.

    Let us all aim to build a society wherein fulfillment grips us at work so that we lead healthy and satisfied lives.

    Dream Fulfilling Job. How is it like?

    What’s your dream job?
    View all responses

    In my view a DREAM FULFILLING JOB is one wherein one should return home fulfilled and can’t wait for the sun to rise to report to work, the next day.

    Work occupies a huge part of our life and hence we should do a job we love.

    For us to love our job, work should be like play. This can only happen when we are doing a job that suits our passion.

    I love this quote of Simon Sinek which echoes my sentiment about a fulfilling job.

    “Returning from work feeling inspired, safe, fulfilled and grateful is a natural human right to which we are all entitled and not a modern luxury that only a few lucky ones are able to find.”

    Read some very insightful blogs around the topic of fulfilling work.

    View all responses

    I am in the process of building a perfect space for reading and writing driven by the goal that people visiting my blogsite would feel motivated and fulfilled.

    Inspired by Simon Sinek I do imagine a world wherein everyone would feel inspired and motivated every single day.

    This is the key element to drive away any anxiety and depression from our minds in this present age of social media and instant gratification.

    “Imagine a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every day inspired to go to work, feel safe and valued while they are there, and return home at the end of the day fulfilled.”

  • Are you SEARCHING for FULFILLMENT?All the more reason to know this BIOLOGICAL CHEMICAL..

    Adopted from the following great insight shared by Simon Sinek from his book Leaders Eat Last

    1) Oxytocin is the fulfillment related chemical that flows through our veins.

    2) Oxytocin flows when we get fulfillment by doing something selflessly.

    3) Oxytocin can help increase immunity and fights stress

    4) The flow of oxytocin cannot be tricked and true fulfillment needs to happen for this to flow.
