Per-nal

Zerayn D.

For me, fulfillment is not a complex equation but a straightforward measure of satisfaction with my humble accomplishments from hard work. It does not hinge on material wealth, societal status, or superficial accolades, but rather on the effort, time, capacity and resources I have exhausted in my endeavors. It is a sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing I have pushed myself to my limits and beyond.

Specifically, in sharing my posts, I have opted to preserve imperfections and modify others. There is effort in each of them, and writing in English demands so much intricacy because it is not my first language. Thus, I try not to delete some posts as a means to hide their flaws, but I keep them as a way to celebrate the journey of growth and progress. These imperfections reflect my own evolution and serve as valuable reminders of where I have come from, the lessons learned, and the ongoing journey that I embrace. In this way, I can track my progress and my roots, choosing to appreciate the beauty of imperfection and the wisdom it provides.

In this perspective, “winning” or being “number 1/1st placer” is not the ultimate source of fulfillment; rather, it is the prize of inner peace and satisfaction that comes from achieving my goals in accordance with my values and efforts. This is true success, a success that I attribute to the LORD.

Share your plans with the LORD, and you will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
