Summary of Transcript:
Mark Sisson discusses his concept of living an awesome life and his tenants of an awesome life. He defines fulfillment as the feeling of contributing to someone’s life and being able to recognize accomplishments, be grateful for what one has done and forgive mistakes. Fulfillment is an ongoing process and is often born out of suffering. Money is not the answer to fulfillment; it is the feeling of having helped someone uniquely with a skill set acquired through hard work. He believes that fulfillment is the carrot on a stick that is forever in the distance, and the sincere pursuit of it is more interesting than crossing a finish line or winning a record.
