Is Just ENOUGH Good ENOUGH?

Is Just ENOUGH Good ENOUGH?

Is Just ENOUGH Good ENOUGH?  Surely we will all scream in protest because initially, I myself I'm totally in disagreement to this belief.  However, last week, I watched in Netflix the Wes Anderson movie titled 'THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF HENRY SUGAR".  In that short movie, Henry, a rich and greedy man, wants to learn the skills how to see without using his eyes so that he could win millions at the poker table [and HE DID after training himself for years].  At first, he was happy because that was his dream.  UNTIL one day, he gets home and he realizes he DOESN'T feel as happy as he expected.  He then becomes numb from that feeling of winning and getting $$$$$ easily.  He realizes tat $$$$$ DOESN'T bring happiness to him anymore💴💷💵

In the end, Henry realized that there was NO thrill in obtaining $$$$$ anymore.  His ability to gain unlimited cash has made him realize just how pointless his greed is.  Despite this movie being a short one, easily I had several takeaways.  WHAT happens when you get all the money in the world by just opening the palm of your hands?  WHAT happens when GOD gives everything you want straight away just like winning in the lottery📗📙📘

WHEN the excitement is gone, WHEN the struggles are never heard of, WHEN those typical frustrations and disappointments become a thing of the past, Is Just ENOUGH Good ENOUGH?  Most of us [AND include me please in the past] at one point in our lives, surely we had that dream to become rich.  BUT as humans, we are naturally NEVER satisfied.  Our desires are unsatiable in fact.  We constantly want MORE than what we have.  Now let's take a step back and ask: IF WE GET THOSE THINGS SO EASILY WITHOUT THOSE STRUGGLES, MAYBE WE WON'T EMJOY IT"💎💎💎

That's the irony because by then, we will [MOST likely] NOT appreciate the joy we felt after earning a little thing we fought for.  We would then consider things as something that are just there [for our PICKING] rather than as a gift that we've been wishing for.  Because by STRUGGLING, we will appreciate things more.  By STRUGGLING, we DON'T take things for granted.  So maybe, after all, just maybe then, Just ENOUGH is Good ENOUGH✅✅✅

I heard this one-liner a zillion times:  MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS or DON'T GET RICH TOO FAST [because once maybe once you reach a certain point in your life WHERE money ISN'T an issue, it will be HARDER for you to find JOY.  Like many years back, all I dreamt was to own a car.  When I had my first car, a 5-year old rickety Ford sedan, I felt so blessed.  After sometime, I wanted a brand-new car and I worked enough so I can afford it.  And when I had it, it made me realize that our everyday struggles could be a beautiful thing.  Moreover, I realized that for us, Just ENOUGH can be Good ENOUGH❗❗❗
