Enough

Recently, I was thinking about a test answer that the late Dr. Dave Dobson gave during an oral, psychological evaluation he was given when interviewing for a job. The company psychologist asked, “What do you want out of life?” Dave said to the interviewer that he could answer the question in ONE word. The psychologist scoffed and said that it would trivialize the question and reflect poorly on the candidate to give such a shallow answer. Dave asked if the interviewer was curious to hear his answer, and he said he was. Dave replied “Enough.”

Wouldn’t it be a life game changer if we simple had enough?

Many people are seeking more, when enough will easily satisfy them. Others are seeking less, when enough would fill the bill.

Enough is a matter of trust.

Consider the financial independence daydream that many of us have had. It’s usually comprised of having tons more than we need. My guess is the reason for wanting more is to build a cushion in case we begin to lose that heightened position. The real focus is on loss, not gain. There is a lack of trust in our ability to manifest enough.

Think about it, we employ trust every day. We trust that our car, which is made up of countless moving parts, will get us from Point A to Point B without them coming unhinged. Outside of physical emergencies, we trust the part of us that regulates our heartbeat and breathing will continue to pump enough blood and give us enough air without us requesting more than we need. Yet, we most often fail to trust anything that doesn’t fit inside our intellectual box.

Your imagination is too big for your intellectual capacity. And as author Wayne Dyer said, “Imagination is the force of creation.” Can you imagine for a moment that there is a part of you capable of creating enough?

It's this ability to trust that mitigates the intellect’s overemphasis on fear – the fear of there not being enough. 

I'm no biblical scholar, but I believe that's what the parable of the loaves and fishes teaches: trust that there's enough.

So here's the question: What do you want out of life? I trust you'll consider the ONE word answer, “ENOUGH.”

All the best,

John
