The keys to a fulfilled life: authenticity, positivity and generosity

After thousands of hours researching personal growth books, podcasts, videos and articles, I started to identify the patterns to live a more fulfilled life. I have synthesised and simplified them in the schema below:

Our essential needs to a fulfilled life

I start with the following axiom that I won’t try to demonstrate them. As a human being, I feel that we can feel these needs deep inside of us to feel fulfilled:
1. We need to feel happy
2. We need to feel connected with others
3. We need to feel successful

How focusing on the positive can start a virtuous loop?

When you focus on the positive, you feel lucky and grateful. Simply focusing on the positive will make you happier. But there’s more.

Feel grateful and become a giver

Being grateful encourages you to become a giver. When you feel grateful, you want to give back and help others. When you do so, you become more successful because you will surround yourself with other givers and receive 10x what you gave. You will also feel more connected, feeling that your success and theirs are interdependent.

Feel supported and celebrate your authenticity

When you focus on the positive, you also focus on the support you receive from people who love you. It will give you the confidence to be more vulnerable and to be confident to do so. You will become authentic, not trying to protect your true self with any filter. This authenticity and confidence will allow you to create your best work and thus to be more successful. When you are authentic, other people can feel it and it makes you connect with them.

I know each one of these logical steps would require more justification. The point here is to explain what the project of UNLOCKT is about. I will write articles to expand on each of those assumptions.

On the contrary, when focusing on the negative, you create a similar vicious loop:
