I still think this idea is important enough to re-visit it at the end of the year, so here we go again…
Merriam-Webster defines “enough” as “occurring in such quantity, quality, or scope as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations”.1
For several years now, I’ve asked, “what is your definition?”
Popular things that will finally be enough include nicer cars, better houses, bigger retirement accounts, more and longer vacations, more money, more time, weighing less, newer gadgets…
But the key question is: if all those weren’t options, how would you define “enough”?
If you don’t know what you really want and need, you’ll likely never have enough. If you do, you probably already do.
Just like the old Cheshire Cat quote, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do,” if the desired outcome is not clear, how do you know when you’ve achieved it?
If we’ve never defined what “enough” really is, we’ll never know if – or when – we’ve achieved it. And then we’re just on a treadmill to nowhere trying to achieve…we don’t even know what!
Most of us already have more than enough. So much so that we’re distracted from it while we pursue more.
Do you have enough? Do you know?
If not, I’ll probably ask you again at the end of next year…
