Enough is Enough

I’ve been thinking about this question for years.

To be specific, since Sunday 19th April 2020.

And I still don’t know the answer.

But I’m getting closer.

The question comes from “Ego is The Enemy” by Ryan Holiday

"Managing your ego is especially important with money. If you don’t know how much you need, the default easily becomes: more."

How much is enough?

Before 2020, I hadn’t even considered this question.

I was rushing through life, on the hunt for MORE.

What else happened in 2020? Lockdown.

The pause led to many reflections.

This question has been in my mind ever since.

I have a better answer for money. And enough is not much.

With that comes a huge amount of freedom. I don't need a six-figure salary to get "enough"

But this question relates to much more than money.

Sometimes the answer is more, often it’s less.

This simple question is a surprisingly powerful way to ensure that I have enough.

What is your answer? How much is enough?

The Three Big Ideas

Ego is defined as an unhealthy belief in our own importance.
Ego is the primary factor in the self-destruction of many people across the world, especially those who think they have found success through materialistic gains such as money and status. Ego eats away at these people like cancer, often with their actions fuelling the disease. Live a life that does not fuel the ego. Don’t fuel the disease.
Managing your ego does not mean not pursuing your dreams and goals. Managing your ego means building a compass to navigate you through life as the ego fuel becomes greater and more tempting. Understanding what is important to you, your value and reflecting regularly.
