WORKSHOP

Having it All | Outer Success with Inner Fulfillment

with Don Joseph Goewey

This workshop facilitates the effortless effort that regains our innate capacity to flourish inwardly and outwardly, all at the same time, a capacity most people have lost. Let me explain. Tony Robbins is regarded as one of the world's great success motivators. After years of coaching self-made millionaires who in midlife ended up unfulfilled, Robbins came to the conclusion that success without fulfillment was the ultimate failure. This defines the proverbial midlife crisis of emptiness, of feeling there’s something missing in one’s life but not knowing what it is. Resolution to the confusion comes not from forsaking success for the fulfillment, but learning how we can have both. The irony is that 225 studies show that it is our inherent state of fulfillment that promotes outer success and not the other way around (Lyubomirsky, 2005). Waking up to having both begin with the understanding that we human beings have two natures, with the second one blocking the first one. Our first nature is given; it is the one we were born with that naturally engenders a state of fulfillment, meaning happiness, freedom, creativity, connection, and altruism, (Rand, 2012). Our second nature is learned, not natural, and it is dominant in most people. It’s the way we were socialized to see the world and ourselves in distorted ways that block the free expression of our first nature (Rogers, 1959). This programming wires the brain for stress, fear, and shame, hardening into the fear of failing that plagues us even as we are succeeding. It is an endless pattern of seeking outer success believing it will bring a time of inner fulfillment when we can finally relax and enjoy life along with our successes. Waking up is seeing that fulfillment doesn’t actually work that way. We don’t acquire or earn fulfillment -- not the constant, enduring, joyfully unshakable kind. Why? Because we have it already. This, by definition, is a success with fulfillment. This is what it means to have it all.
