how can u feel complete in your life

Without natural passion and purpose you begin to feel empty. The activities you engage in seem to be little more than routines. You're on autopilot and not really present. Time goes by and you feel as if nothing of any real value is being accomplished in your life.

Regaining your passion for life and the important feeling that what you're doing with your life has meaning, is essential to your joy and fulfillment.

The lack of passion is often the result of many different factors:

In this article I want to explore one of those factors... The powerful effect of your family culture. The way you were raised. How the expectations and standards your family ingrained on your psyche, could now be acting as a barrier to your feeling the passion and meaning which makes life the great adventure it should be.

There are two categories of people who share the feeling that something is missing:

Category one: You have a wonderful husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend, kids, great friends and family relationships. Overall, life is good.

Category two: You don't have the kind of relationships, family interaction, friends or lifestyle that is right for you. Overall, life is not good. By the time you have become well entrenched into category two, you are so far from your genuine self that you may be in serious denial of your situation.

Whether you fall into category one or two, much of your time is spent going through the motions. You feel disconnected from your life and find yourself attempting to fill the emptiness you feel, with distractions.

You will do just about anything to kill or bury that lingering pain...

The feeling that something is missing screams for your attention. The way you deal with it is to run away from it. You seek out relationships, things and experiences, which give you only temporary relief.

Then you run again, looking for the next distraction. Only to find that it too was empty. You don't stop running until one day you finally hit the wall...

You've been looking everywhere except the one place you will find the answer: Within yourself.

If you are a category one person, maybe everything in your life isn't exactly perfect but life is pretty good.

You're a person who is stable, responsible and tries to make the right choices. Your life appears to be going in the right direction. Yet that pervasive feeling that something is missing haunts you day after day.

Both category one and two share one thing in common:

You feel that you are an observer
rather than a participant in your life.

When you're disconnected from your true self, you are going to feel as if something is missing because you are missing something... YOU!...And the passion that naturally comes with being your genuine self.
