Fulfillment takes place on the inside first. It's a feeling you have. Sure, external gains are part of a person's fulfillment package, but the externals aren't what provides lasting satisfaction. The world is full of people who thought that being rich would bring them fulfillment--only to find that even with huge sums of money their lives were still miserable. ~ The HeartMath Solution, Doc Childre and Howard Martin, (c) 1999, Harper SanFrancisco
