"What is enough?" is a question I grappled w/when I was tasked w/delivering high double-digit YoY growth for a startup 2 years in a row, including during a pandemic.

And for what? Why? The staff was burnt out and struggling on multiple levels. But we& #39;d all bought into "more." https://twitter.com/operaqueenie/status/1388976597252722688">https://twitter.com/operaquee...

In a way I& #39;m grateful for the experience, because I learned how dramatically unaligned the mindless pursuit for "more" is with my values and beliefs.

If there& #39;s no answer to "why are we doing this?" beyond pursuit of profits or selling the company or whatever...it& #39;s not for me.

Maybe that makes me a silly Millennial. But it& #39;s not that I& #39;m unwilling to work hard; I work harder now that I& #39;m self-employed.

It& #39;s that I believe in what I& #39;m doing. I have a greater purpose in mind. And I& #39;d be satisfied with "enough" -- that is, enough to afford living well.

Not extravagantly. Not wastefully. But affording rent, food, healthcare, pet and personal care, transportation -- the basics -- without worrying that I& #39;d be in debt.

This endless pursuit of "more" for more& #39;s sake is simply unsustainable and unhealthy.
