Oi! That's enough

One of the great thinkers of the twentieth century, Mary Poppins, said, 'Enough is as good as a feast.'  But was she right?

For all the talk of recessions and downturns and the like there still seems to be an awful lot of stuff and gadgets and money and luxury sloshing around. Now maybe there is nothing wrong with all that kinda thing but it leaves me feeling weary.

It seems that excess equals success in the western world today but that doesn't feel like a great formula to me. So at the crossroads of self-examination, frustration and experimentation I've decided to do something about it.

But how much is enough and how much is too much?

We could all talk at length about how much is enough and come up with different answers. It's all relative really, there is no definitive value for 'enough'.  It depends on your circumstances, the society you live in and the thing you're trying to quantify.

Too much stuff and not enough love? Maybe.
Too much talk and not enough action? Probably.

So over the course of 2014 I intend to have a look at myself and see whether it is possible to cope with 'enough' in the world I live in. It's not going to happen all at once but each week I'll look at one part of my life, sometimes vital, often trivial, and see if it needs trimmed down or beefed up and then actually try and do something about it.

Why not join me,

2014 is the year I'm going to (try to) say enough is enough.
