i'm good enough already

sometimes, we're just happy enough to reach a particular level, and it's far as we can conceivably push already. and, we'd like to stay there. no need to go further.

i can do a headstand - i don't need to do a handstand.

i have enough money to live comfortably - i don't need to earn more.

i've run a 100km race - i don't need to run 200km.

i'm vegetarian already - i don't have to be vegan.

i'm sufficiently spiritually fulfilled - i don't need further fulfillment.

in essence, i'm good enough - thank you very much, i don't need to be better. not right now, at least. i'm tired of trying to constantly improve. in fact, i kind of want to get worse, just to see what it's like. just to spite myself, to spite everyone.

- it's ok, sometimes we all need a break to re-evaluate things?
- everyone reaches their own respective pre-destined levels?
- we need to keep going no matter what, as that separates the winners from the quitters?
- perfection is an illusion anyway, there's always a next stage, hence, why so serious?
