You don’t have enough time.
You don’t have enough money.
You don’t have enough energy.
You don’t have enough resources.
You don’t have enough team members.
You don’t have enough new ideas.
You don’t have enough stamina.
You don’t have enough [fill in the blank].
Odds are, one or more of these is immediately true for you right now. In my experience, at least two or more are usually lacking at any given time.
But what’s also probably true that in two or more of them you also have a current excess. That is, less than you really honestly need. You’ve got some to spare. Somewhere, most likely, you can afford to scale back.
Can you think of ways to convert excess in one area to help shore up lack in another area? That is the creative task of life.
