Thrill + Will + Skill = Fulfill

The Core formula of Thrill, Will and Skill (TWS) can be tremendously useful for anyone who wants to enhance their effectiveness  by applying these key elements toward a more efficient and productive life.

This is where the main formula helps. Thrill, will and skill all come into play in developing good choices. Ask yourself whether the choices you make, small ones or large ones, serve the purpose, meaning and goals in your life.

Simply lean into, with relaxed effort, the path that feels right and serves all aspects and relationships in your life.

These elements  apply to spiritual practices as well as everyday approaches to tactical living.

And align what even seems like the opposing forces and energies so it all serves your higher purposes. Even negative experiences can unlock previously dormant energies as you learn how to fight for your life without fighting life.

When one has stopped “stretching" or expanding or exploring new aspects of life, or never had to, no firing on all cylinders, no passion or the thrill is gone, it can spell danger. Life can become a mundane, routine and mediocre existence.

It’s easy to see how conditions can be present that are devoid of stimulation, raw but healthy emotions, and they become a dead man or woman walking kind of existence. A going through the motions approach to life takes over.

Do we live a life serving the needs of the child within us that will always be with us in some ways, or grow into an adult that cares for that inner child, while expanding into new horizons, with new and refined abilities that challenge and satisfy the adult, while taking the child along for the thrill ride.

It is not a passive existence but with curiosity and openness, the capacity and desire to explore new challenges, skills and creativity are enhanced, without the drama and struggle to succeed at all costs, to the point of exhaustion, distraction or destroying our health and well=being.

Fulfillment, by the way, doesn’t always mean happiness.  Life is full of struggles, unfortunate turns of events but if your life has meaning and purpose, there is a fulfillment in it despite our human frailties, losses, grievances and emotional ups and downs. Happiness, on the other hand, which often goes hand in hand with fulfillment and satisfaction, is a bi-product of a life well lived, a life of purpose and meaning
