enough : occurring in such quantity, quality, or scope as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations. (Source: Merriam Webster Dictionary)

What is enough? A simple question with complex answers.

Answers that are wildly different from our ancestors. Modern people have transcended the bottom of Maslow’s Pyramid, or at least don’t have to fear the military’s draft or a tuberculous outbreak.

(For most Americans) the answer has shifted from needs to wants. A blessing and a curse.

The curse. Material things, money, status, love, or whatever it may be… keeping up with thy neighbor (or that Instagram influencer) has never been more relevant in our more, more, more society.

This raises a return to the original question; What is enough? How to control personal demands or expectations when the “needs” are met?

Have the courage to answer that question for yourself. And re-ask it often.

NH.
