You Didn't Need It...You Don't Now
You’ve reached success in your field or industry. You’ve made bonuses and your pay has gone up. You’ve always dreamed of this feeling, of making more money. But why?
Think back to your very first paycheck, that was a lot of money for you back then too. When you were at college living in the dorms you were satisfied with the ramen you would eat each day, or the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When you had your first apartment and ate rice and beans every night. What a great dinner.
Today, with all your success, money and delusional status, none of that is good enough. It’s beneath you. You needed so little back then and now you need so much. Or do you?
And the more you need the harder you work to get it. More than likely wanting more because what you have, again, is not enough.
You used to be so strong, resilient and resourceful. Now, if your plans are slightly of course, you panic. If the steak is not cooked the exact way someone taught you it should be, you throw a fit. If the latte is not exactly the temperature you want, your whole day is ruined. You’re so much weaker today, than you once were. Do you see it?
Enough is never enough for the person who thinks enough is too little.
You’re poor if what you have is not enough and feel like it never will be. Stop that. Your actual needs are few. But we all want more, we all want stuff.
Well, will you ever have enough?

Thought Provoking Questions : Will you ever have enough? Sit and reflect today on what you have. Write it down if you want and ask yourself, is this enough?
Daily I write and release a daily meditation. A quick read. Sharing wisdom and asking thought-provoking questions. Influenced by the obstacles, success and failures in my life and of others. Using history, books, current events, philosophy, and ancient wisdom. These writings are actionable, thought-provoking, designed to make your life better.
These writings are not to push a way of thinking on the reader or to force you into a certain philosophy or methodology. Rather to give you practical and real ways to handle life. This is an added tool. My writing is simply a discussion, a discourse, with all the material I read, watch, hear and consume.
