Sometimes what you did today or recently, is not enough.

If you feel like you are not doing enough, it’s okay. Maybe you are really not doing enough. Maybe that’s the most you can do, but it’s not enough to get you to your goals. But the solution to this isn’t getting discouraged. Isn’t feeling bad, or quitting.

It’s being okay with just showing up and doing the least you can do. It’s not because perseverance will get you there eventually, it’s because there’s nothing else you can do.

You can’t blame yourself in this case, you couldn’t have done more than that, even if you wanted to.

You have to understand that sometimes it is really not enough. What you did is not enough. At least not enough to get you to your goals or to make a difference in your life. Even if it feels like it’s more than enough in terms of your energy and capability, because you couldn’t physically get yourself to do more than that today.

But when it comes to actual progress, making a difference, hitting your goals, getting ahead, and moving the needle forward, it’s not enough. It’s still not enough.
