Happiness is just about having enough.

To me, happiness is about having enough in everything we want in our lives. It can be having enough food to eat, having enough time to spend with my family, having enough time to enjoy my hobbies and interests, having enough time to sleep and having enough money to spend.

However if you do not have enough in certain aspects of your life, you may have a feeling of being deprive which is the main cause of unhappiness. By having not enough food to fill your stomach, you will feel hunger. By having not enough time to spend with your family, you may feel like a stranger to your family. By having not enough time for your hobbies and interests, you may feel unsatisfying about your life. By having not enough time to sleep, you will feel tired. By having not enough money to spend, you may be worrying about getting into debt.

Having more than enough is good but not necessary however. The ability to enjoy current happiness is much more fulfilling than trying to have more things in life.

Have you started your journey towards financial freedom?
