never enough

If you subscribe to any sort of media influence of what's beautiful, successful or important, you have to accept this fact: it's NEVER ENOUGH.

Conspiracy theorist or not, a person has to accept this when it comes to what is seen or heard from those who would have us use their product, wear their brand or consume their beverage. Because if you ever did get enough or if you ever did reach a place of contentment, the powers that be would not have done their job. We MUST be made to feel incompetent, undesirable, disconnected. Only when we are vulnerable in these ways will we look outward for the solution: the right cell phone, cologne, vehicle or beauty regimen.

In China, the ban on plastic surgery has been lifted and people are going into hospitals by the hundreds on any given week to have their eyes altered or their legs stretched. I find this western influence sad because millions of people there are starting to believe the hype that what you are NOW just isn't good enough.

Until you have your own personal definition of beauty, success or happiness, you'll never be satisfied. If you are looking for fulfillment in places and people and products, you'll always come up short and unsatisfied.

I encourage you to strip away from your mind all the mental junk that you've accumulated over the years of your life. If you've already had this realization and you're working some of this stuff out of your life, be a influence for someone else. And if you're just starting, it's not that hard.

You'll know what stuff you need out of your head if you'll just be on the lookout for it. It's the voice that resides somewhere in the corner of your mind saying, "You're just not ________ enough; you need more _______; you'll never be _______." And it probably sounds like the voice of a commercial announcer!
