How did you find your true fulfillment?

I think I've finally come to accept that my personal fulfillment in life won't come from partnership or having children, which is freeing in a way. It gives me the full permission to really find out what makes me fulfilled. What motivates me? What makes me feel at peace? What makes my life feel like it's in alignment? However, in the same way it's easy to drift without a compass - I find myself spinning a bit trying to find my axis.

I've been trying out different things in life like goldilocks, this is too boring, this doesn't feel right, this makes me happy etc. So far, I've really found what I like to do for work. But, I'm still figuring out what I like as a passion. And I'm like in the middle of figuring out how I enjoy being in community. For me, I've also realized that my peace doesn't look like being at home all the time, I really need to be involved in my creative/arts community in some way to feel at peace.

But, I'm just curious what this journey was like for people who are on it? What was it like to discover what makes you fulfilled, when you don't have the partner and kids thing to be your north star?
