One of the things to think about in life is how much is enough for you?

How many friends do you want? How many meaningful friendships you can really maintain? Or how big of a house you need? How many countries do you really want to visit and so on!

You need to draw the line between hustling for more and being content with what you already have, or achieved. Modern culture wants us to believe we are always ‘incomplete’. We can keep getting better or acquire more things in a never ending quest,

But at many things in life, being good enough, or even average will just do.

It might be the best even.

This is specially important if you have been constantly striving and achieving in one domain of your life. You might have started off on that path as you sorely lacked initially, but then you might lose sight of your rewards and never get to enjoy them.

In this post The Art and Science of Spending Money, Morgan Housel mentions how, many people get into the mode of making more money and get stuck in it.

Never having a chance to relax and spend the money, long after they have reached their goals.

There is ample flex in pushing the goalpost further and further when you reach one.

But it doesn’t have to be so.

You don’t have to be a constant work in progress.

You can be growing, yet valid and complete at the same time.

So revel in the light when you reach your goals. Pat yourself for how far you have come.

And maybe if you want, push for an even bigger goal.

Or realize that its enough, and choose something new altogether.
