What principles define how you live?

and it keeps me present.

I live with one goal everyday:

To make at least one person smile.

If I have done that, then I know I’m leaving one less person in sadness each day. That, to me, is fulfillment.

Weird, I learned something new about fulfillment a few days ago. I learned the difference between success and fulfillment.

To succeed in life is not the same to feel fulfilled in life. To become successful, is not the same as to live in a fulfilling way. It was interesting to define success, and to define fulfillment. One might see them as the same thing. If you’re living a fulfilled life, then they are the same thing. It is in my personal opinion, that living a fulfilled life is successful by nature. One can be successful, and not fulfilled. One can have all the riches in the world, yet be completely broke in the senses of what makes them feel whole.

So if I chose one principle to live by at this very moment: live a fulfilling life.
