I love the quote: "you can have anything you want, as long as you are willing to pay the price."
To me, we can have broad ambition to want things across multiple dimensions, but we'll have to give up something (maybe a lot) within each dimension.
Thus, it's important to have a good sense for what is "enough" in any one category. What is enough money? Enough health? Enough relationships? Cultivating this enough-sense is critical.
Awesome Rick thanks for sharing! Checking it out now.
I think about having it all, but not at once. I like your idea to create a sense of "enough" in each category.
BTW, LOVED your recommendation for the book "The Good Enough Job". I've listened to several podcasts with the author as well and felt super inspired. He's Italian!!!
This is pure longing wrapped in poetry! The imagery of garden walks, café writing, and teaching kids to bake made me smile. Love your tips on grounding in gratitude—beautiful and so needed 💛
