Be careful about the dangers of not enough. Too many goal-oriented achievers — with hearts in the right place — become overly fixated on the next ladder rung.

• “I have more influence than I’ve ever had, but it’s not quite enough.”

• “I’m earning more money than I’ve ever earned, but it’s not quite enough.”

• “I’m more connected than I’ve ever been, but it’s not quite enough.”

• “I have more agency than I’ve ever had, but it’s not quite enough.”

• “I’m more productive than I’ve ever been, but it’s not quite enough.”

These attitudes can fuel forward movement, but they can also blind us to the fruits of our long labors.

Wherever practical, tether your satisfaction to your progress, not your current status. Allow yourself to feel sufficient in this moment. Even as you grow and change. Especially as you grow and change.

There is joy and fullness in where you are. Right now.
