"That's enough... thank you."
Frequently I analyze my work efficacy. See where I am being productive and see where I am lacking. To take a birds eye look at how I am doing in life.
I have found that there are numerous interests that one can have. The internet has made it possible to delve into all of them and to find new ones. There is virtually no limit to the extent of interesting things that one can find online. This is to the extent that I find myself getting sucked into the quagmire of interests, with no end in sight. So much information, so many engaging ideas. The time has come to say, "That is enough...thank you."
In order to build the Sanctuary in the desert, G-d called upon the people to each lend a hand. One was engendered to give that which they were able. One gave gold, and another gave bronze. One gave cedar wood, and another flax. Each person contributing. They contributed, and contributed, and contributed and cont....you get the point :-) They brought so much that Moshe had to bridle the enthusiastic giving and contributions that the nation gave. Moshe told the nation, "That is enough...thank you." We need this amount and no more.
We humans (at least I do) have a tendency to continously want more and more of a good thing. Moshe teaches us that there comes a time that we must even tell interesting ideas, "That is enough ... thank you." I appreciate your wit and humor. I appreciate your content and inspiration. However, I have reached my needs. I need no more.
What in our lives can we say, "That is enough...thank you."? What extra stuff do you allow in your life that you can say, "I dont need you, go away."?
I think that is enough...thank you. (for taking the time to read this)
