[Image] The Missing Piece of the Success Puzzle What if the key to fulfillment is not what we think it is? Hello, I want to start with a simple but profound question: What lights you up that you wish you had more time for? For me, it's always been reading. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved losing myself in a good book, exploring new ideas and discovering amazing stories. Reading has been a constant source of joy, inspiration, and personal growth throughout my life. In fact, it was this passion for reading and sharing ideas that inspired me to start LifeHack in the first place. But somewhere along the way, that pure love of reading got clouded. With the pressures of work and the constant chase for the latest trends, reading started to feel more like an assignment than a fulfilling passion. I found myself reading what I thought I "should" be reading, rather than what truly excited me. So recently, I made a conscious decision to reconnect with my authentic love for books. I started setting aside dedicated time each day to read, not for any external reason, but simply for the sheer enjoyment of exploring new ideas and skills. And you know what? The difference has been profound. I feel more energized, more inspired, and more connected to myself and the original mission of LifeHack than I have in years. This experience got me thinking about the concept of our "authentic self." It's the part of us that feels most true, alive, and aligned with our deepest values. When we honor our authentic self, we experience a profound sense of contentment and purpose. But in the hustle of daily life, it's easy to lose touch with what truly lights us up. We get caught in the trap of "success without fulfillment," achieving external markers of success while feeling an inner void. So here's my challenge to you:
Take a few minutes to reflect on the activities, hobbies, or interests that bring you genuine happiness. Maybe it's painting, hiking in nature, or practicing yoga. Whatever it is, it's a clue to your authentic self. Once you've identified these passions, the next step is making space for them. This could mean scheduling non-negotiable "me-time" each week, finding an accountability partner to keep you committed, or joining a community of like-minded individuals. [Tools like the AI-assisted journaling and personalized coaching in LifeHack All-Access]( can also be powerful aids in this process of self-discovery and growth. As author Brené Brown wisely said, "Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are." By aligning our actions with our authentic self, we open the door to true fulfillment. So here's my heartfelt encouragement to you: This week, prioritize at least one activity that lights you up, no matter how small. Let it be the first step in a journey of rediscovering and honoring your authentic self. Because at the end of the day, success without fulfillment is no success at all. True success is about living in alignment with who you truly are. Wishing you a week of authenticity and joy, Leon Founder & CEO @ LifeHack Expand Your Perspectives with
