Chisoku

Do you have enough?

How would you know?

Because it’s easy to pick an unrealistic standard to conclude our lives are lacking.

Chisoku is the Japanese word to feel sufficient, to be satisfied with what we have.

When we are never Chisoku, we live a dystopia where nothing is ever ok.

And the good simply falls by the way side.

Beyond our basic needs, enough isn’t a matter of abundance.

It’s a matter of choice.
