They say the right time to stop eating is just before your stomach is full, because it takes a while for the stomach's message of satiation to reach the brain.So, if you wait till you feel full,you will always have eaten more than what was enough for you.
If you are smart , you will be able to figure out that the right time to stop is while hungry. In a dizzily consumerist culture, we are not allowed to feel satisfied, and are conditioned to want more, no matter what we already have. And that 'more' always exceeds 'enough'.
It is important to understand that what is enough for one person may just be the first milestone in the journey of desire for another.So then how do you know what is enough for you?Just the bare necessities of life?Food,Shelter,Clothing stabilise things enough to make us reach for something beyond,which marks the difference between existing and living.In order to live well and be on top of life you need that extra something.
That X-factor varies from person to person.For one it could be money, for another travel, for yet another, the challenge of forming and running business.A sense of adventure may attract some, while others may be charmed by the idea of a meditative calm--reading, thinking, writing, interacting with friends and loved ones.
But the end result everyone seeks by aiming at 'enough' is the same ---Happiness. When you have what you deem is enough, the one thing it will make you is happy.Or, so you think.So when you keep shifting back the time when you will be happy and satisfied.
Are you earning as much as you need or pushing yourself to get more than 'enough'?What for? If you were to give up that extra shove and instead, spend that time to pursue what makes you really happy.would your life be better?After all, it would be silly to love money for the sake of it? Are you aware of what you are pursuing all that money for? What do you want it to do for you?
