In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros discuss the complexities of living a life of joy, and how fulfillment can be about more than just happiness. Understanding the difference between pleasure and fulfillment is crucial, as pleasure doesn't always lead to a meaningful life. While pleasure provides immediate satisfaction, fulfillment is about more profound, lasting contentment connected to our purpose and values. A relationship based on fulfillment often demands more - growth, vulnerability, and investment - but also brings so much more reward. It's not about chasing materialistic success or money. Instead, it's about seeking more profound, more meaningful pursuits.
