I was sitting in my car in the gym parking lot, engine off, staring at the steering wheel. I'd just finished a workout. A good one. The kind where you know you showed up.

And instead of feeling good about it, I heard myself think: Should've added one more set.

That's not a thought about fitness. That's a thought about worth. And I realized — I do this everywhere. Finish an episode: should've been tighter. Spend an afternoon with my wife: should've been more present. Complete a project I've been working on for months: should've been better, faster, different.

There was never a moment where I hit "enough." The line kept moving.

In this episode, Nick explores three anchors for recognizing when you've already done enough — in a culture that will never tell you:

• Name the "More" — get painfully specific about what you're actually chasing. Undefined "more" isn't ambition — it's a trap designed so you can never win.

• The Cost Audit — ask whether the "more" is worth more than what it costs. Most of it isn't.

• The Enough Practice — define enough in advance, because enough is a decision you make, not a feeling you wait for.

This is Season 2, Episode 8 of Uplifted Living, following The Trust Battery (S2E7) and leading into The Compass (S2E9).
