We each already posses all of what is needed to experience fulfillment. Feeling fulfilled is the result of an internal condition, and comes into being when we allow our self our natural expression. Fulfillment, and other internal creative essences such as peace and joy is not a product of external achievement. In fact the opposite is true. The external manifests itself according to what begins as an internal state. The more peaceful and joyful we are from within, the more our outer world will reflect the same.

So often, we set up a series of self created hoops to jump through in life before allowing ourselves the gift of the golden ring. We enter into a life long series of prerequisites that need to be met before we give our self-permission to just rest in the okayness of the moment. How many times have you found yourself saying "I’ll be happy when…" or "If only this certain something was present in my life then I could be happy." But have you ever noticed that when that certain something enters your life, there is always another "hoop" to take its place? Joy, peace, fulfillment, abundance or whatever else you feel you lack is right here, right now, and awaits only your acknowledgement. Your recognition of this fact only turns up the volume of what was always present. You were never enveloped by anything but a symphony of joyful perfection simply waiting for you to make this realization.

There are many ways in which we try to fill our "holes." We attempt to patch our perceived voids through relationships, jobs, possessions, travels, even drugs and alcohol. Society provides us with many outer band-aids to help fix what was never actually broken. Yet as totally perfect as we already are, we are constantly running from that same perfection, insisting that outer improvements are the key to what already exists perfectly within. Each time we look to someone or something to provide those things we feel we lack, we deny our self the opportunity to experience our fullest, most natural form of expression.

Often, we do not even recognize that we have plugged one of our holes with something else until we loose its presence in our life. When we loose a relationship, job or possession of any kind, even our health, our first reaction is usually one of panic and heartache as we scurry to find ways of mending the gap. Gaps that used to lie so comfortably hidden under our well-placed patches. But what sends us into a panic from their loss is only a reminder that a grander, more eternal version of love rests within, and awaits only our permission to be expressed freely and in its entirety. This permission will allow those aspects of our self that have become separated, to take their rightful place in our total expression. Wholeness made not by our doing but by our being. It becomes a process of allowing what is to express itself without resistance or objection.....
