Abundance is a balance

We tend to think of abundance as the joy of 'more' -- rather than the joy of just enough. 

Want abundance? Seek more. Do more. Be more. More, more, more. 

But really, abundance is all about striking the delicate balance between 'not enough' and 'too much.'

With the exception of money, having too much of any resource is a problem, just as having too little is.

Have too much work? No life.
Have too much food? Obesity or rotting.
Have too big of a house? It can feel cavernous and lonely.
Have too much time? Depression. 

Rather than hopping on the treadmill of ever more, I prefer to think of abundance as being that point just past 'enough.'

And guess what? I've got at least more than enough of pretty much everything.

To note, a conversation about why money is one of the only resources for which you can't have enough of is the fundamental problem with capitalism would be delightful. Perhaps someday I'll write out my thoughts on it.
