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.
