IS IT GOOD ENOUGH?

I was reading the Star Jones book Shine the other week. There was a chapter talking about how people become complacent in many facets of their lives. She quoted a line from a movie that asked, If this is as good as your life gets, is it good enough? I think that's a question everyone should ask themselves. For me, the answer is pretty much. I don't say 100% yes because there are a few things I'd like to achieve (which should be done within a year) but for the most part, it is good enough. I was discussing it with jezchill as well as one of my coworkers and I think to say that I have a pretty good life would be an understatement. I don't have everything I want but I have probably more than 90% of it and I'm well on my way to getting the rest. There are probably some people who wouldn't want my life but I absolutely love it. I make it a point to regularly thank God (literally) for all that I've been blessed with. I even commented to jezchill (in reference to something I gripe about semi-regularly) that my "problem" was a pretty good problem to have.

Another one of my coworkers was showing me a website of a salon owned by a young woman who had given up a career as a software engineer to follow her passion (hair). I just love to see people living the life they really want, regardless of what anyone else thinks. I'm sure that young lady probably got a lot of grief from family and friends for quitting a lucrative job. However, it would seem (from what I saw on the site) that she's making much more money now than she would have had she remained an engineer and probably much happier to boot. So as the book went on to ask, if your life is NOT good enough, what are you going to do about it?
