Enoughness 101

Well, hey there, Cadre. How are you, my friends? My name is JC, and this is Saturday on Cadre. On Saturdays, we talk about personal development. To contrast. On Mondays, we talk about professional development. Monday we talk about developing the things that you do. Saturdays, we talk about developing the person that you are. That's how I like to think about both. So, my name is JC. If we've never shared time together before, thank you for the opportunity to do so. It truly is a privilege to spend time with you.

My Saturday livestream is called enoughness 101. Enoughness is a topic that I spend pretty much every waking moment of my life thinking about. Enoughness is the idea that you are already, indeed enough. In this moment, you are enough. You are capable of doing something right now that has benefit and worth, that can extract internal joy, that can impact the people around you. I always have to say within kind of our culture, where it's always like, grow, grow, grow. Hello. Hello, Jules. Hey. Speak wonder, bronze, metal life.

Nice to see you, everybody. So I always have to say, kind of in our grind culture, that enoughness doesn't equal complacency, right? This is not a live stream about saying, hey, don't want to change, don't expect change, don't be motivated by change. But to say the quickest pathway, the most sustainable pathway to change is by acknowledging that right now, you are not incapable. You are capable. You are enough. You are worthy. You have something that has great, great value for this moment. So, as I like to do every once in a while, here's a little song.

Sit back, enjoy. It's called the secret of happiness. I've discovered the secret of happiness is learning how to glide? I've discovered the secret of happiness is. Enjoy the ride. Don't let the journey be tainted by pride? And I've discovered the secret of happiness is not to mourn the past? I've discovered the secret of happiness is not to run too fast. You can still beat them by coming in last cause the secret the secret of happiness? Is? Living in the now? Living in the time it takes to blink I think is how we're meant to be living?

The secret of happiness is clear? The secret of happiness is near? The secret of happiness is here? The secret of happiness is here as I took a few minutes to sing, I will answer comments questions for a moment. Not a broncos knitcap, it's a run Ms hat. One week from two days from now, I'll be running Boston marathon as a fundraiser for Ms. So I wanted to wear my hat. Yes. Enjoy the ride. The secret of happiness. Again, it's like, oh, nice, pretty song. That's cool. But also, how does it make you feel to know that the secret of happiness is to be in the moment that you are in?

I will say that this is coming from the enoughness person. It feels underwhelming. If the secret of happiness is here. Want. Want, right? It's okay to say that. We often think that there is something tomorrow that is innately better than today's something. It's the reason why we have all of these sayings like, the grass is greener tomorrow. Da da da da a penny saved today is a da da da da da da da saving for a rainy day, and all of a sudden, your life falls apart. And what do you do? You go, wow, you know what I've been waiting for tomorrow?

I've been waiting to be excited for the holiday, for the trip, for the thing. And that thing shows up and you go, wow, it's nice. It's great. But do we really have to give away so many today's in order to have one bright, great tomorrow? It seems inefficient. The secret of happiness is knowing that if you don't run too fast, you can still beat everybody. If you're setting the confines for where your joy is coming from. From where your enoughness is coming from. I love saying enoughness most often doesn't feel like it.

So many self help books, so many, like, aspirational inspirational speakers talk about, like, and then everything will be great. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not that person. Enoughness feels like enough. Which is it? Enoughness feels like walking outside and seeing the sun pop out for a second going like, oh, that's nice. Enoughness feels like when that meeting gets cancelled and all of a sudden, you can roll around on the floor with your kid or dance to a song or go walk your dog. Enoughness feels like you having a snack or sitting down on the couch for a moment.

Those moments laced up bring us to a very, very full life. So what I want you to focus on today, or what I invite you to focus on today, if it's interesting to you, is find moments where enoughness is happening and see the seed of happiness waiting right there for you. The secret of happiness is clear. The secret of happiness is really near. The secret of happiness is in the here and now with you, how you are alive, fighting and flying and resting and digesting and going. Huh? For me, right now, the secret of happiness is getting to spend time with each of you.

That is enough. I hope you find those moments today and we'll see you tomorrow morning. I'll be back for self care. m. Central Standard Time. But everybody, make sure you check in. In a couple hours, you're gonna see my brother Garrett, who is a sports psychology just wonderful human. But everything he speaks is so incredibly applicable because like I love to say, everyone is an athlete and all life is sport, right? All life is us going, huh? What's going on? What do I learn from what just happened?

And how do I do it again? So check out Garrett, who recently moved, so wish him well. Ask him how he's doing in his new place and we'll talk to you soon, everybody. Have a good one.
