Living Just Enough

Have you ever felt as though there is something missing in your life? Upon completing our education, we set out on a journey. We know the type of job or career we want to pursue. We develop a timeline that will keep us on track in order to reach our final destination.

Then life hits us with a dose of reality. Maybe there were things we overlooked. We begin to question what we expected out of life. We get restless and at times get defeated. We just want to do enough to get by. We didn't know that there would be so many bumps in the road; that we would get off track. New ideas, new approaches to our current situations, and doubting our doubts can play a role into why we feel we are living just enough.

As we stumble and fumble with our choices and decisions there is a tendency to get off course. We can lose our sense of direction. The vision we have for our destination gets cloudy. As our plans go awry, we question whether to should switch gears, maybe find a new destination.

The struggles we encounter may be frustrating, however, there are many life lessons that can be learned. If we mess up, it's okay. Opportunities will present itself that will enable you to make changes. Living just enough is when you don't take any action. It's when you choose to wallow in self-pity. It's when you would rather complain about all the things that are holding you back instead of seeing where the new direction will take you.

Life will always have it's ups and downs. When you begin to feel doubt take a look at what is happening in your life. Is there something that needs to be addressed? Is there a different path that you should take? Doubts are just another way of letting us know that there may be more that we need to explore.

Your experiences will shape you into knowing who you are. As a result, it will guide you from where you are to where you need to be. So, which path will you take? Will you pursue a great life or will you settle for living just enough?
