Fulfilment can come from the simplest of acts or the most complex of achievements, yet how we find it is as unique to us as we are to each other.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Fulfilment is found when what we do aligns with who we are. It\u2019s tied to doing the things we do because we want to, not because we should. Yet, fulfilment can seem like a far-away fantasy-land, and words like purpose and passion can invoke feelings of frustration. Why? Because so many of us feel we haven\u2019t found them yet and we search so hard for so long that in the end, we almost give up.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The truth is that to find fulfilment we need to first find ourselves. But how?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We need to figure out who we are, what we want and why. We need to define our values and understand how pivotal they are to our work, life and self. We need to realise our uniqueness as perfectly imperfect, never to be repeated, human beings. We need to understand our value and our worth. We need to allow ourselves to follow our curiosities, our interests, our guts and our hearts and be brave enough to let them lead us where we really want to go, where we belong.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">By finding ourselves first we not only stand a good chance of finding our purpose and passions, but we also create the very real opportunity of living the most fulfilling lives we could ever imagine. And tell me, who doesn\u2019t want that?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-877\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2024\/03\/MAGILL-Lesley-circle-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;letter-spacing: 0px\" data-contrast=\"none\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lesleymagill\/?originalSubdomain=au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lesley Magill,<\/a><\/strong> Little Shove Mentoring &amp; Moving<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;letter-spacing: 0px\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><strong>*Editor&#8217;s Note:<\/strong> Have you registered yet to attend the upcoming Personal Branding and Passion Professional Development Event?
