Abundance in business is alluring- but how much do we need? Often we don’t think of our own capacity before asking for more and more and more…
And, we also don’t ask- is what we’re receiving fundamentally nourishing, that we would want more of it?
When I’m looking for more in my business- more subscribers, more sales, more clients- I sometimes forget to ask myself: What’s ‘enough’? As has been pointed out to me many times, infinite growth isn’t possible in nature- we call that cancer.
I’m sure you’re not looking for cancer, eh?
No more than a fist.
My Sufi teacher has taught me that when I eat, I should never eat more than a fist-sized portion of food at one sitting. I may not be completely ‘full’ but that’s a good thing- it means there’s room for air and water in my stomach, too- which means I can actually digest what I’ve eaten.
I’m wondering: What are you asking for? What is your sense nourishment? And in your current business goals, what’s the equivalent of a ‘fist-sized’ portion?
