Gap and Gain

 What does it matter how much a man had laid in his safe, or in his warehouse,

how large his flocks, how big his dividends, if he covets his neighbor's property,

and reckons not his past gains, but his hopes of gains to come

-Seneca

I am reminded of the concept of Gap and Gain

- by James Hardy and Dan Sullivan.


I am always thinking of my gaps - in position, fame , money in comparison to others;

I am not counting the gains received

but busy computing the gaps to pray for!

If i heap my riches I have ,

i should be satisfied with what I have compared to where I started.

 

I keep missing the "Enough" point! when shall i be satisfied and contented ?

 

Ozan Varol talks about this in his blog post : 

an hungry stomach , gets satiated - Body knows it! when to stop!

but I don't know yet when to stop!!!

As if holding a bottomless bowl 😉 praying for more!

Stop craving for more ;

My wishlist seems to be infinite!

 

I have to be satisfied even years before!

Let me move into a spiritual plane : like Steven Pressfield says

Lifting the CG- center of gravity from Physical to Spiritual:

And let me tell myself I that i have enough already and not need anything more!

Instead I need to give out! Share out!
