The satisfaction achieved by the perspective in life of "enough"

(If you received this via email, click on the title of the post to see the whole post.)


Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
                               Kurt Vonnegut

Do the exercises necessary to achieve this valuable perspective:  How Much Is Enough?  
When you completely answer this question you have opened a major door to happiness!
