Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little. — Epicurus

Nothing is enough to the man for whom enough is too little.

Insight: We live in an economy built on the idea that you are always lacking something. You get the promotion, but then the new salary feels normal, and you eye the next tier. You buy the house, but then notice the neighbor's bigger driveway. This endless chase isn't always about greed; often, it's about anxiety. We think if we just cross the next finish line, the feeling of scarcity will vanish. But external accumulation cannot fix an internal measurement problem. If your baseline for satisfaction is constantly moving, no amount of success will ever stick. The surprising truth here is that defining enough isn't about giving up ambition or settling for less. It's actually about gaining the freedom to enjoy what you already possess. When you decide what constitutes sufficiency, you stop renting your happiness to future achievements and reclaim the present moment. The real luxury isn't having everything; it's the quiet confidence that what you have right now is actually sufficient to live a good life.
