Simplify your needs.
"A man (person) is as rich as the things he can afford to do without." HD Thoreau
Then enjoy what you do get and have. All good things are wild and free.

Well...it depends on what your interests are. If you like to hangout with friends and stuff then that's what you like to do. If you have a hobby, then you should try to see what you like about it. For me...I enjoy drawing so I want to become an animator, but for you...I'm not really sure what you want to really have in life. Usually people would want to explore the world or help the world with it's problem. So...What I'm trying to say is, to actually feel satisfaction you need to find what it actually is that you want to do? Do you want to love someone? Do you want to get revenge (You shouldn't hurt anyone though) or do you simply want to become famous or known for what you've done in your life?
In the end, it all matters what you enjoy but, you shouldn't really worry about stuff like fulfillment and stuff you know. It'll eventually come around and hit you in the face and you wouldn't even know you knew. If this doesn't help then I guess I'm still missing my satisfaction in life too.

you have asked for somethn i believe many ppl have and are still seaching the answer for. before you can find satisfaction, you have to know who u are, what are you? What or who is ur source? who made you--because i am quite sure that if u are ur own cause, then u could perfectly answer the question which u are asking. But because u cant, then grasp onto somethn that makes sense---that God is ur maker. And he has made u for a particular purpose---so find out what that purpose is and u'll find true satisfaction and fulfillment in life.

First of all I suggest acceptance and tolerance as a "WAY of LIFE"
Satisfaction is subjective and relative to each of us individually. No answers here may be strictly right or wrong, but certainly will be personal opinions.
What satisfies and/or fulfills you, might not offer the same to me,,, or others.

Well that's easy. You can only find true satisfaction and fulfillment in life only through having a relationship with Jesus Christ!! That is true satisfaction and fulfillment indeed!!!

There is only one way and that is to find God. Only with a relationship with Jesus Christ and desiring to submit to His Will can bring you to the very thing in life that will be totally satisfying to the inner soul. Whatever plan God has for you personally is what will do it. It does not mean that everything will always be easy, but if the soul is happy that is what counts.
St. Augustine was a pagan and the son of a Roman Soldier who became a saint and a great theologian on the subject of the soul, but only after years of searching and yearning for true happiness. He tried to find it in drinking and dabbling in the occults and in Greek philosophy. but nothing satisfied his soul. His mother, who was St. Monica, a Christian spent 30 years and earned her own sainthood by praying for her son continuously. Finally she followed him to Rome and asked the local bishop to see Augustine and watch over him. The bishop said to her "Mother go home. a son of so many tears cannot be lost. She did. Then one day, Augustine was walking through the courtyard of the bishops church and there was a scripture engraved on a stone tablet in the middle of the courtyard. He heard a voice say, "Take up and read!" Augustine looked around for what to read and he spied the scripture. Whatever it said grabbed his heart and changed him forever. Soon thereafter he asked the bishop to teach him about God and then became a priest. He wrote many books on the subject of having a deep relationship with God and how satisfying it is to the soul. One of his sayings is"Late have I loved Thee" he wrote in a prayer. And another is: "My soul will never rest until it rests in thee"
Of course not everyone is destined to be a priest, but whatever your true destiny is is what will make you happy. YOU JUST HAVE TO SEEK GOD'S Will AND FIND IT.

Find something you like to do, for example, drawing, a sport like volley , photography. Find music that inspires you. Find someone who makes you happy :) -It doesn't have to be a boyfriend/girlfriend, a friend works too- You don't have to care about what people says or thinks -this is important- Remember you don't wake up every day to please others ,you don't like them they don't like u,it's fine Don't let anyone bring you down, not even a guy, if he rejects ,hurts ,lies or treats you the wrong way,he's not worth it.end of story <3

By living your life in a manner which suits the inner man/woman.
This means to do whatever it is in life that gives you a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Sad part is often times that conflicts with earning money.

God can teach you about yourself. Self sufficiency is having everything you need. Satisfaction is knowing you have it.
