For me, and for many of us, our first waking thought of the day is I didnt get enough sleep. The next one is I dont have enough time. Whether true or not, that thought of not enough occurs to us automatically before we even think to question or examine it. We spend most of the hours and the days of our lives hearing, explaining, complaining, or worrying about what we dont have enough of... Before we even sit up in bed, before our feet touch the floor, were already inadequate, already behind, already losing, already lacking something. Its as if a scarcity mindset has been wired into our society, into our minds, into our lives. I dont know about you, but I sure can relate: Look at everything I dont have! I find myself repeating day after day like a broken record. Im single, so I dont have enough love. Im starting a new business, so I dont have enough money. I struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, so I dont have enough health. Theres never enough time. I can never be good enough or pretty enough or live up to the standards that I should be living up to. Never enough, never enough, never enough! And yet if theres one thing that this apparent lack has taught me over and over again throughout the past year, it is simply this: Whether I recognize it or not, enough is already right here, in this very moment. I dont have to make more money or achieve more or get more of what I think I need in order to experience enough. I dont have to go looking to external sources of validation or approval in order to find it, and I certainly dont have to go looking for it in the future. Ill never find it in any of these places because -- get this -- I already have it. In this very moment, you already have enough. ~Therese Schwenkler
