1/26/15 Facilitating
Fulfillment
One of our
tasks is to help our students find their way into a career that is right for
them. We help them move toward a career that is a good match for their
interests and personality; one that meets their personal values and economic
needs. Sometimes they seem to be moving toward something for the wrong reasons.
Many times, we are helping them to sort out what their values and interests are
and to figure out what it is that they want. We, ourselves, feel most
accomplished when we do our part to help them to take another step in the right
direction or to get back on the right path toward their goals. Consider what
Tony Robbins says about finding fulfillment, “I have seen business moguls
achieve their ultimate goals but still live in frustration, worry, and fear.
What’s preventing these successful people for being happy? The answer is they
have focused only on achievement and not fulfillment. Extraordinary
accomplishment does not guarantee extraordinary joy, happiness, love, and a
sense of meaning. These two skill sets feed off each other, and make me believe
that success without fulfillment is failure.” So, as we
facilitate our students’ fulfillment, we facilitate our own simultaneously.
