Seneca observed that it is not the person who has too little who is poor, but the one who craves more. Wealth, he said, is having what's enough. You can want to grow and still notice that this hour, you are fed, you are sheltered, you are breathing. The ache for more is loud, and the world keeps feeding it. But contentment isn't a reward you earn after the next purchase or promotion. It's a quiet attention you can practice now, by looking at what's already in your hands instead of only at what's missing. Enough is a place you can choose to stand.

Inspired by the old idea of wealth is having what is enough. Written by Ugo Charles.
