Have you had enough?

As we set ourselves on a path toward our dreams sometimes we get caught up in one aspect of the dream. We fixate on one thing and measure all of our efforts and our success by that one item.

Then, when we get the thing we've been longing for, we realize we still aren't happy so we assume that we must not have "enough" of it.

We must not have enough free time.
We must not have enough followers.
We must not have enough income.
We must not have enough because if we did we would be happy.

But what if it's not about more? What if it's about perspective? What if it's about appreciating what we have and giving ourselves a chance to really enjoy it? What if it's about getting off the treadmill of making more and deciding we have "enough"?

Action: Whatever it is that you are pursuing, be grateful for all the blessings in your life. Then set aside some time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Spend time with those you love most. Contact clients just to say thanks and tell them how much you appreciate being able to serve them. Go to a ball game. Picnic in the park. Write a poem.

Whatever it is that you are chasing because you don't think you have "enough", spend a little time enjoying what you do have.
