Last year I said, “Maybe I’ll start making this an annual revised post…I think it’s that important!” I still feel that way a year later, so here we go…
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 written posts asking, “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 options were gone, 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, “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/when we’ve achieved it. And then we’re just on a treadmill endlessly trying to achieve…well, 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…
