Today Cosmic talks about being busy, productive, successful but experiencing unfulfillingness. In a society where we're taught to be financially successful and socially successful, we are often times missing the energy of authenticity, fulfillment and genuine love. This talk helps us to evaluate our busy life

Namaste my brothers and sisters.

Hello my brothers and sisters on Insight Timer,

Practitioners,

Meditators,

All around the world.

Welcoming you to another talk with Cosmic in H.

Town Houston,

Texas where the rain just stopped.

The birds are happy,

Spreading their wings.

The air is cool and life is good.

Here to bring you another talk to help open your mind,

Open your heart and help you progress and evolve your consciousness.

Today the talk that we have on our heart.

But Cosmic recognizes there are so many brothers and sisters who work very hard,

Who get things done.

They're busy,

Living their life,

Working.

Very productive,

Very effective.

They make money.

They can be seen as they are quote successful.

But yet they are unfulfilled.

They're unfulfilled.

Why?

That's the talk that we're going to be talking about today.

So as you know as people in society we are raised to be,

To do the work,

To work hard.

Work smart.

To get your life together,

Be productive,

Be successful and make money.

And so we see a lot of brothers and sisters,

Their whole life is about making money,

Getting a job,

Finishing college,

Getting a job.

They put their kids in school.

They're busy going to work,

Dropping their kids in school,

Getting their kids to college,

Jumping from one thing to another,

From one system to another system.

On Sunday they go to church,

Temple.

They jump from seminar to meditation.

Seminar to meditation.

To meditation they take their kids to piano practice.

They watch football on the weekends.

But they never ask themselves,

Is my life fulfilled?

Living the life that I'm living.

Do I feel fulfilled with the way I live my life?

I am successful but do I feel fulfilled?

Do I feel my calling?

We may be a very successful business man or woman,

Taking care of our family,

They have all their needs met.

Maybe they have most of their needs met but not all.

But yet we are still not fulfilled.

As a matter of fact,

The standards of people's lives many times do not include the word fulfillment.

Just enough to be happy.

A good life.

And I want to bring you light on a mindset.

That a good life is a standard of life we have chosen.

A great life is a mental standard that we have chosen.

A fulfilled life is one that we choose.

But we don't have to.

And a profoundly fulfilled life is one that is possible.

But many brothers and sisters settle for something good life.

Good life is not bad.

But often times when we aim for a million dollars,

We get a thousand,

We get ten thousand,

Maybe a hundred thousand.

When we aim for a billion,

We may get a hundred thousand,

We may get a million.

But when we aim for good,

Often times we fall short.

When we experience a life that's sadly mediocre.

Sadly mediocre is because we are not aware of how we feel in our life.

We say it's good but when we really look deeper,

Our life feels this thing called meh.

Like you wave your hand,

You wobble your hand in the air.

How are you doing today?

How are you?

Good.

That is surface level.

That is good on the surface level.

But really behind that routine traditional life,

Deep down we're just living cookie cutter.

Living the routine life,

Taking the same route to work,

Drinking the same coffee,

Same restaurant.

Maybe we change restaurants,

Maybe you're a foodie.

But deep inside,

Something's still missing.

But we have a job.

We have money.

We have nice things.

But all these things that we are busy looking to get,

We're productive to progress.

But we're not productive and progressing in fulfillment.

We get more stuff,

We get more money.

But often times,

We never ask about fulfillment.

Do we feel genuinely happy?

We don't even use that word,

We just use happiness.

But what kind of happiness?

Why do we have to question happiness like that?

Because fulfillment takes effort.

Routine happiness is called just go with the flow,

Don't evaluate your life.

Just get the job,

Get promotion,

Start a company,

Make it work.

But the feeling is often times missing because we're following the numbers,

How much money we get,

The sales,

The statistics,

The income and outcome,

The cause and effect.

But often times,

We do not add fulfillment to our equation because we're still following a mental concept of success but not the emotional concept of success called fulfillment.

So today,

What you do with your life as a father,

Mother,

As a boss,

Leader,

As a student,

As a child,

As a children,

Add fulfillment to your equation.

Add genuine authenticity to your equation and see if it matters to you to feel fulfilled,

To feel genuine happiness,

Not just mental conditions and numbers and having stuff and buying stuff.

And I hope that today's talk helped you expand your mind a bit.

And this is Simply Cosmic ending the talk on busy,

Productive,

Successful but unfulfilled.

If you would like to help Simply Cosmic progress,

Ask a question,

Leave a review.

It's greatly appreciated.

And I hope you have a wonderful,

Wonderful,

Wonderful day.

Thank you.
