For a long time in my life I can’t seem to know when its enough when trying to accomplish something, you know that feeling when you love dong something and you set a goal to achieving things on that interest you have. Sometimes we get carried away we forget to know when its enough, this can be found in everyone that loves dong what they do. Take a look at musicians, they can’t stop singing, they want to make all the songs in the world, if you are an artist, you will be so obsessed with making so much arts you will want to make all the arts in the world, sadly you can’t, tat is because its not possible. Same thing is found in money and the pursuit for financial freedom, especially when you love doing what you do.

Have you ever encountered a business man who loves doing business? Not a second will go by without them trying to sell you one thing or the other. I’m sure you can relate because at some point you have realised you are also in this shoe. For instance when I am writing my post on Hive, I struggle with myself to decide when the article is enough. The post might just be a little message, but because we dont want to make it look too short, we have to write more but when does it get enough? Same goes with when you have a lot of things to talk about but dont want to make it too long. Same goes to setting your financial goals, something becomes enough when you accept within you that its time to stop. Lets take money for instance, when do we stop making money, some people say when they get extremely wealthy, they would stop work. Yes they would stop that work but can they stop making money? Most people dont love there job but they can’t stop because of the money, the moment they get wealthy, they just look for an easier comfortable and convenient way to make money, because making money can not be enough. This is why there is a retirement program, even after the retirement, we still see people venture into other money making scheme.
It just doesn’t stop until nature comes to intervene with old age, even at that some people still don’t stop, so here lies the question, when does it stop? In my opinion I think it has to come from a place of self discipline and deciding for yourself when its enough. Deciding and realising that trying to get all the accomplishment in the wold is impossible and you will fail, the best thing to do is appreciate your accomplishments, understand the impossibilities of having everything and embrace the feeling of enough, this will make you see life from a better perspective. Its good to work hard but its also good to enjoy the moment and decide when its enough, because at the end of the day we are still just humans.
