Enough

Do enough, accumulate enough, say enough, be enough. Seek not less than enough, and not more than enough.

More than enough is not enough, and does not encompass enough. Too much is as undesirable as too little, maybe worse.

If you have too little, you also have the hope and the drive to work your way to enough. But when you have too much, the hope and the drive have no compelling purpose, and go away.

The key is to know that enough is largely what you consider it to be. What’s enough in your honest perception is truly enough.

Trust yourself to know what is enough. Allow yourself to be at peace with enough.

Your presence in this moment is enough. Grant yourself enough wisdom to live it well.

— Ralph Marston
