Embracing Enough

The opposite of scarcity is not abundance. It is enough. — Brené Brown

I am exhausted.

The movement, the jockeying for position everywhere, the perpetual motion towards perfection (physically, psychologically, financially…), we’ve been led to believe that that particular brass ring is reachable. But is it really? There is self-improvement and there is getting in that hamster wheel thinking you need to get to 100%. We have been programmed to work harder, accumulate more, to consume more, to be more attractive, to be healthier, to climb higher, to be more aware, to be better, to be more, to constantly raise the bar…

But what if what we have right now is enough? What if accepting that when our needs are met, when we can be happy, when we feel contentment, when things are enough, when what we have is sufficient is what we should be doing? What if all we need to do is understand that what we have to actually work towards is the appreciation of what we have, that that is enough? 

What if what we have, what we are, what if it’s ENOUGH? 

I am going to try to sit with that this weekend.

Penny for your thoughts!
