I run into people all the time who are worried that they don't have enough. A survey of Americans once reported that we would be happy if we made 20% more than we currently do.
This is crazy. Most Americans have plenty. A life view of scarcity robs us of being generous. Back when we were holding capital campaigns at church, there were millionaires who gave less than we did because they were worried about not having enough.
Enough is enough. Most of us have enough. Instead of looking at what you have and thinking that it is not enough, look at what you have and say "thank you." Buy 20 chocolate bars and give them to the servers in the restaurant [along with your 20%] tip.
Life is much happier when we realize that we have enough.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
