18 July 2009. As of today I am candidate for the municipal council of Harderwijk for the Dutch liberal party VVD. Niek van Duivenbooden congratulated me on this and asked me what my hot issue is? It is fulfillment, or actually living a fulfilled life. This Sunday Udo Zwart and I will start a training for people to experience what it means to be financially free, or to be more specific what it means to live a fulfilled life.
I have here in front of me a picture of the fufillment curve, which I found in the book ”Your Money Or Your Life”. Let me explain what I see. I see the curve going up. At a certain point we have enough to survive. If we go on generating money and other resources we have comfort. At the top of the curve we have fulfillment. After that, although we are not aware of it most of the time we have a choice. We either go on generating resources and create overconsumption or we can choose to start giving, sharing our resources.
What choice do you make? See for yourself how you are living your life. Are your choices congruent with your values, or is there a discrepancy and would you like to do something about it?
For those who are interested you can read the book :”Your Money Or Your Life ” by Joe Dominguez and Vicky Robin. Have fun.
