"Is this Good Enough?" is a great question to ask yourself, when you are stuck. By stuck I mean confused about a relationship, a career, your appearance, or even your car. The list can go on and on. For example, if we are uneasy about something in our relationship, but our spouse is not, then we should pose the question, "Is this good enough for you ?" Their reply will most likely be YES, while yours most definitely will be no. Asking this question will lend itself to deeper communication and understanding. Why is it good enough for 'him' and not for you?
Is this job good enough? If yes, then you are more likely to stay and tolerate your job responsibilities and all that it entails. Change occurs when we can no longer tolerate things that aren't good enough. Our weight for example, might be acceptable, but if we gain weight, making us feel uncomfortable, then our body image might not be good enough for us. We might change the color paint in our home, when it is no longer good enough. Please consider this question and make it a topic of conversation with others, when you are at a crossroad. It might shed some light on whether its time for a change.
