What Is Your “Enough”?💼💰

What Is Your “Enough”?💼💰

💭I recently had two conversations—one with a new friend, one with an old.

Both are incredibly accomplished by any standard: thriving careers, beautiful families, financial stability.

And yet…

One confided: “I’m so tired.”🫩

They were working more now than they did in their 20s. Their health was starting to suffer.

The other said they envied the travel Fei Ouyang and I do with our girls ✈️

They wanted to explore more of the world with their family too—if only they had the time.

Both were running up against the same invisible wall: work consuming so much time and energy that it was crowding out the things they valued possibly even more—health, family, freedom, adventure.

When I asked, “Why not take a step back?”

They both gave similar answers: “Maybe after one more startup… just a little more runway… then it'll be time.”

This “just one more” mindset is baked into so many of us.

One more promotion.

One more time riding the latest wave.

One more "win".

But if you never define what “enough” looks like, you’ll always be chasing an interminable finish line🏁

💡 What if now is enough?

What would your life look like if you chose to prioritize what matters most to you, right now?
