When Is It Enough?

-

Lately, I’ve been asking myself something I can’t quite answer yet: when is it enough? Enough money, enough achievement, enough doing?

I’m currently reading The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, and it stirred something in me. It reminded me of Inner Engineering by Sadhguru, which I find myself re-reading often. These two books speak so differently, yet they both touch on the same deep question: what does real wealth look like?

Is it the bank balance? Is it when I’ve finally built that dream house? When I can travel when I want, eat what I want, and go where I want? Maybe. But maybe not entirely.

To me, I think it's when I feel most fulfilled when I feel like I’m living with purpose. Not some grand “calling” written in the stars, but simply showing up fully in my life and doing what I can with what I have. That quiet sense of joy that I’m in the right place, doing the right thing, even in small ways.

True wealth for me is freedom. Time freedom. Energy freedom. The freedom to choose who I spend my time with and how I spend it. It’s feeling healthy enough to take that walk and actually enjoy it. It’s having the resources to live fully, but also the mindset to stay grounded.

Housel wrote something about being humble, celebrating small wins, and not shifting your goalpost without acknowledging the journey. That really stayed with me. Without humility, it’s so easy to lose the joy in chasing more.

I don’t have the final answer. I’m still figuring it out. But maybe “enough” isn’t a place you reach. Maybe it’s a rhythm you learn to live by with gratitude, presence, and peace.

Boundaries

  We all have that person the one who’s full of big ideas, infectious energy, and good intentions yet leaves you guarding your peace. For me, it’s a really well-meaning relative. H e dreams boldly, jumps from venture to venture, and genuinely wants me to thrive. But over time, I’ve noticed the cracks: the half-truths, the blurred lines, the quiet tension when I don’t protect what’s mine. He isn’t malicious. But trust isn’t just about intent it’s about consistency. And when small lies slip in or boundaries flex too far, self-preservation kicks in. I’ve learned: first of all g ood people can still drain you , Love them, but don’t loan them your peace. Secondly, n o is a complete sentence , Boundaries aren’t cruel they’re survival , finally I w atch feet, not lips i f actions don’t match words, I believe the actions. I still value him. But I no longer confuse loyalty with unlimited access. Some dances require space and that’s okay.

Courage to Invest in myself

-
  For a while now, owning my home has been a cornerstone of my financial independence goals a tangible milestone on my path to freedom. And now, here I am, on the verge of turning that dream into reality. Yet, despite all the planning and saving, I’ll admit: Taking the leap feels scary. But you know what? I’m choosing to celebrate that fear because it means I care deeply about my future. Money isn’t just numbers to me; it represents security, hard work, and the power of choice. So, of course, spending a significant amount (even for something as meaningful as a home) can feel like stepping off a ledge. That resistance? It’s not weakness it’s proof that I’m thoughtful, intentional, and respect the value of what I’ve built. Instead of letting hesitation hold me back, I’m re framing this project as the ultimate act of self-trust. This isn’t just spending it’s investing. Unlike fleeting purchases, a home grows in value over time, both financially and emotionally. Whenever...

Evolution

  So last week was quite interesting, impromptu meetings, busy work schedules and a lot and i mean alot of flexibility. Between being given an assignment, being told the assignment was changed last minute, preparing to appraise the meeting on the same updates only for the role to be taken away on the final second. I watched a room full of executives call an intern to switch on a smart TV and i realized we really need to get updated on new technology but whose responsibility is it , the IT department or the beneficiaries. This was hurting to watch. The poor gentleman had to sit through the meeting just waiting to increase the resolution on the screen and hide excel columns and the executives were on a busy schedule but had to wait and postpone other duties to wait for this help. I had a great time going for my work out sessions. I am glad the rainy season is here. The air seems more fresh , the grass is greener and the flowers at a point just seem to be showing off how...
