This Is Enough
Letting life be what it isโand loving it as it is
Iโve started to notice a quiet theme running through my days:
This is enough.
Sometimes it catches me mid-step, almost whisperingโ
This. Notice. This is enough.
Like today, leaving Tai Chi.
I realized itโs become part of my life nowโand I like it.
At one time, I mightโve asked:
Why am I doing this?
Is it to prove something?
To be more balanced?
More mindful?
To be good at it?
But now? I do it because I want to.
Because I enjoy it.
Not for an outcome.
Not for a reason.
Just because it feels good to do.
At one time, I mightโve thought it was boring.
But itโs not. Itโs focused.
Itโs fun.
And even though itโs slow, itโs enough.
That same feeling keeps showing up everywhere latelyโ
in the ordinary rhythms of my days:
Walking the dog.
Meditating.
Getting dressed for the day.
Tidying for fifteen minutes.
Making dinner.
Drinking tea.
There was a time I wouldโve asked, to what end?
What am I getting out of this?
When will it change?
But now I know:
It doesnโt have to change.
It doesnโt have to lead somewhere.
Itโs already giving me what I wantedโ
a calm, steady life that feels like mine.
And that?
That is enough.

Loved reading this โ as always with your work. It reminded me of something my teenage daughters learn at school as theyโre about to step into senior years and beyond. Theyโre made to repeat the words (much to their dismay and dramatic eyeโrolls), โI am enough.โ As cheesy as it sounds in this age of distraction and sensory overload, itโs probably the most important thing to keep reminding ourselves of โ that profoundly simple truth.
I love this. Yes, that is enough. I think we have been trained to think "More" for so many years. It's wonderful to stop and appreciate enoughness. It's a nice place to be.
