"True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future." — Seneca

There's always more, isn't there?

One more goal to reach. One more milestone to hit. One more thing to acquire.

The promotion that will finally make you successful.

The relationship that will finally make you complete.

The achievement that will finally make you worthy.

You're caught in an endless game of "when."

When I get there...

When I have that...

When I become this...

Then I'll be enough.

"He who is not satisfied with a little is satisfied with nothing." — Epicurus
