One of the concepts that I wrestle with most in my life is the concept of enough.
Usually in the format of: what is my enough, why is this not enough for me, and if this isn’t enough - will anything be?

Why pursue further success? I have a beautiful wife and kids. If I wanted to just stop and run my companies I would lead a very full life that was above average in every way.
I accomplished most of my financial goals at 28 and have struggled to make meaningful goals since.
I turn 30 this year and am hopeful to know my enough so that I can step confidently into my next decade.

I have tried to set new goals to accomplish but they don’t feel as meaningful as the first ones or I doubt that I would actually be happy when I achieved them.
Do I really/actually/in my heart-of-hearts want to hit 50-100MM net worth in my lifetime? Really, do I?

Wouldn’t that alienate my family and remaining friends? Becoming wealthier hasn't made me much happier than I was prior, but it has just put a wall up between me and everyone around me.
I am happy with my life but the problems are uglier and they're getting bigger/more frequent

Growth only means more convos with my attorneys/accountants and I already talk to both more than I want. It means more people chasing me for dollars either directly or through their attorneys. It means that relationships have gotten weird because my life is less relatable.
Despite all of this I want more. I’m having fun with it. I like to win. I am good at it. However, I am afraid of what will happen to my life when I get where I am heading. It seems like on the journey to get what I “want” - I may lose everything worth having.
I have seen the lives of people farther along than I am and some are beautiful but many are not.
So when setting goals, what is enough? How do you find meaning beyond just the climbing net worth? Do you just “know when you get there” or is it more tangible?
I want to be able to look back at my life and know that I chose every step along the way and didnt just "keep going"
