The Question
You achieve, yet feel hollow.
You’re praised, yet still crave more.
Why does “enough” always move just out of reach — no matter how much we gain, build, or become?
The Understanding
The chase for “enough” is not a search for worth — it’s a symptom of forgetting it.
From childhood, we are trained to earn love, to prove value through performance. So when love is given, it feels temporary — because our nervous system only trusts struggle, not stillness.
The world rewards appearance, not peace. We scroll through lives curated to perfection and measure our insides against their surface.
But “enough” cannot live in comparison. It lives in contentment — a state few ever taste because they confuse silence with insignificance.
The Monarch sees that the pursuit of “enough” is endless because it is built on a lie: that you were ever lacking to begin with.
The Lesson
You cannot become enough — you can only remember that you already are.
External validation is a bottomless hunger. The more you feed it, the more it grows.
The Monarch learns to root worth in being, not becoming — to act from fullness, not fear.
When you stop chasing completeness, you start creating from it. And that is when peace begins.
The Decree
He who measures his worth will always come up short.
Stop counting your value — and start embodying it.
