Have you ever sat in stillness and felt as if the whole world, your whole life, was exactly as it was meant to be? Not a single piece out of place. Not a single need, want, or desire tugging at your heart. Today, as I sat at my favourite spot, I find myself in that exact state—a profound state of wholeness and fulfilment.
It’s strange, really, because I’m doing nothing. I’m not writing, or crossing tasks off my to-do list. I’m simply sitting here, letting the music and the season wrap around me. There’s no striving, no pushing, no longing. Nothing. And yet, I feel an overwhelming sense of warmth and completeness that radiates through my whole being.
This is what it feels like to truly be enough.
I look at my life and see abundance everywhere. My children are healthy and happy. I have a roof over my head, food on the table, shoes on my feet. My relationships are truthful and genuine, I am surrounded by people who care for me as I care for them. Even the relationships that have passed—the love of my parents—, feel whole and resolved, as if they’ve left me exactly what I needed to carry forward.
The Energy of Fulfillment
In this moment, I feel the hum of life itself within me. It’s not a drive or an urge. It’s not restlessness. It’s energy—pure, vibrant energy that needs no reason to exist other than to be.
An old friend once told me about states like this. He said, “Enjoy them, absolutely revel in them, but remember to carry on. Creation only comes through action.” I understand that now. As much as this moment is complete, life itself is movement. Energy streams forward; it expands and creates. That’s the nature of what we are—energy in motion.
But for now, I allow myself this sacred pause. I allow myself to bask in the warmth of fulfillment, knowing that when it’s time to act, I will. And when I do, it will be from a place of deep alignment and clarity.
Reflecting on Gratitude
If you’re reading this and wondering how to reach a state like this, the truth is, it’s not something you can force. It’s not about accumulating more or achieving something external. It’s about recognizing that you already have everything you need within you.
As I sit here, I realize this state is a gift, but it’s also a choice. It’s the choice to stop striving, to stop labeling, to stop seeking outside of myself. It’s the choice to rest in the wholeness that has always been there, waiting for me to notice.
From this place of stillness, I know that whatever comes next—whether it’s writing a blog post, making soup, or simply enjoying the day—it will be enough. Because I am enough.
Here’s to creating your own reality.
