Why ENOUGH Is Not ENOUGH

Why ENOUGH Is Not ENOUGH

Everywhere everyday and from everyone I always hear ENOUGH IS NOT ENOUGH except from Miami Heat, the popular NBA ballclub whose Fil-Am Coach Erik Spoelstra is always quoted as part of his 'SPOisms' that 'WE HAVE ENOUGH.  So, the bigger question is WHY is it, from everyone else, Why ENOUGH Is Not ENOUGH?  Precisely, I am even questioning my very own self because throughout my lifetime, that's my favorite expression, reaction and attitude [sadly though].  So, the bigger looming question is WHY it is predominantly, we're hearing ENOUGH IS NOT ENOUGH❓❓❓

When I was working with SHELL, the global oil giant, salary increases were like part of the year-on-year calendar and if there is a guessing game left, it is to speculate HOW much will be your latest salary adjustment [on top of the general mailer announcing an across-the-board increase].  WOULD you believe, year-on-year, I was NEVER satisfied?  INSTEAD, each coming year, I seem to be praying to all the GODs that I be merited a salary increase [that's part of my dreams]💧💧💧

How about you, dude?  HAVE you ever been caught in this vicious cycle of insatiable wants and desires?  Apparently and unfortunately, it seems ALL of us [with no exceptions] were all born and reared this way.  NOTHING as in NOTHING is ENOUGH, all because that joy from fulfillment of our wishes and expectations is always "EVANESCENT"💥💥💥

Magic word here is "EVANESCENCE" which is defined as that something that has a quality of disappearing and vanishing, just like the EVANESCENCE of a shooting star which makes it hard to catch.  One moment, it's there.  Next moment, it's like a whiff of air dissipating.  And this EVANESCENCE is best manifested when it comes to the consumption of alcohol and drugs❎❎❎

In the end, the situation calls for more of that alcohol OR drugs to achieve the same result because our bodies are creating LESS dopamine naturally to balance out the external influx.  Our takeaway:  As we are wired for achievement, let us give ourselves more opportunities, even breaking larger goals into bite-sized chunks.  That way, we can derive even more satisfaction from our daily pursuits.  And since the achievement and accumulation of more can never satisfy us, experts recommend the ultimate secret, which is by managing WHAT we want instead of WHAT we have, we will end up giving ourselves a chance to lead more satisfied lives.  To quote one popular quotable quote:  YOU CAN'T JUST WANT WHAT YOU WANT.  YOU HAVE TO WANT WHAT YOUR WANTS LEAD TO.  Dude, this should explain the mind boggling question WHY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH [despite everything we have achieved to date]😀😀😀
