ALMOST WORKS
A leading human performance expert likes to say, “You can’t get enough of what almost works.” Here are some examples.
- Maybe the next drink will be enough for the alcoholic.
- Maybe the next hit will be enough for the drug addict.
- Maybe just one more chocolate bar will be enough for the foodie on his 50th diet.
- Maybe the next cancer treatment will work for the cancer patient.
- Maybe the next marriage partner will fulfill my life.
- Maybe the next new dream car will keep me happy for the rest of my life.
- Maybe the next house will be my forever mansion.
- Maybe the next pair of shoes, next hairdo, next tattoo will be my best looks.
- Maybe the next…the next….the next will be enough.
Yet, enough will never come because everything is almost enough.
- Almost is one of those external illusions.
- Almost is never enough because it can’t be enough.
- Almost was never intended to be enough.
Enough is only enough when you are willing to accept you have enough. Then you are enough and will always have enough.
