How much of that moan is legitimate and how much is based on us trying to keep up with the Jones’s? How can we learn to be satisfied with what we’ve got?
In this episode, we never having enough… or do we? What’s this persistent perception of scarcity we seem to suffer from and how can we overcome it?

Top Tips:
1. Ask yourself: "Do I really need it?"
2. Manage your expectations. Is what you "need" actually possible to achieve?
3. Know what "enough" looks like. Have a clear goal and visual image of what it will look like to have achieved it.
4. Gratitude. If you're not grateful for what you already have, you'll never have enough.
