When is Good, Good Enough? By Jeanisha Wan

When is good, good enough?
Is it:
When someone tells you have done a good job?
When your boss pats you on the back and gives you an award?
When you get promoted and is given a raise?
When you get a new car every year or month?
When your kids score straight As in school or come home with Phds?
When you win a beauty pageant or an Oscar award?
When you win the Nobel Prize?
When you become a best-selling author and your book is made into a movie?
When you become a famous celebrity, actor or singer?
When you are knighted and given a title by your country or state ruler?
When your business makes you a multimillion or even billionaire?
When you can retire at 30 and never have to work a single day?
When your company becomes the largest and most well-known company that ever was?
When everyone admires you and make way for you as you walk past?
When you marry the most handsome guy or beautiful woman in the world?
When your kids become well-known high-ranking people in their careers?
When you can have everything you wanted and more at the snap of your fingers?

But perhaps when you have all the above, you may still feel it is not good enough.

Is not good enough, just:
To be blind and then able to see?
To be lame and be able to walk again?
To be poor and have the ability to work for a living?
To be suffering from cancer and live to tell the tale?
To have lost everything and then to gain something back?
To have friends and loved ones around us?
To be loved and being able to love?
To have done wrong and be forgiven?
To live in a free country and given freedom to choose?
To have a roof over our heads and food on our table?
To see our children grow up happy and healthy?
To be able to let go and let live?
To have peace in our hearts when there is war everywhere else?
To have the ability to give regardless of how much we have?
To have done well, and right by our conscience to our fellow men?
Perhaps to be good enough is simply this.

To be thankful for everything that we touch, feel, see, breathe, hear – the people, things and circumstances we take for granted for everyday.
