Letting go of success.

The concept of success makes us play a binary game. You can either succeed or fail. You can either win or lose.

Sometimes, that framework is helpful. It helps us be efficient and effective. It helps us set goals and be diligent in pursuing them.

But, it can also create insufficiency. It makes us feel that we are not enough until we succeed, until we achieve the goal we have set ourselves.

And what happens after we achieve the goal? Do we feel like we are enough? Not really. We set another goal and keep playing this game of insufficiency.

What if we chose to play another game, a game of being a contribution, being a gift? A game we play to play. Yes, we win sometimes, and sometimes we lose. But what matters is that we play.

What if we acted from a place of sufficiency, of being enough, of loving and accepting ourselves as we are, and then working on making things better?

We can choose to move from enough to enough, and the enough can keep expanding.
