Never Enough

I learned the hard way that as humans we have an insatiable desire for things that are not always in our best interest. I remember wanting to make a certain amount of income to feel successful and able to pay my bills. I actually reached the income goal, only to find out the money still was not enough. I quickly found myself in debt and overwhelmed.

At the time I was heavily into transforming myself, doing things to bring me closer to the middle. Searching for balance. As I contemplated my predicament I recognized it didn't matter how much money I made, I would never be content, satisfied, or happy because it would never be enough.

I, had to become enough before I could realize I didn't need all I was wanting to buy. When I accepted myself, and began to feel like enough; I no longer wanted as much and began to focus on my needs. I was eventually able to let having what I need be enough. It was hard to change my wanting ways, but I did it. I found out real quick that our wants are our enemy.

How many times have you wanted something, got it, only to find you really don't want it. I will venture to say this probably happens a lot, to most of us. It is only when we accept ourselves as being enough that we can then see that what we have is enough.
