“The opposite of scarcity is not abundance; it’s enough”

Simplified Meaning:

Many people think that having a lot of something means you won't feel like it's scarce, but that's not true. The important thing is to have just what you need. For example, imagine you have one comfortable chair in your living room. You don't need 20 chairs to feel satisfied; just one is enough. When you have enough food, money, or friends, you feel content, even if it's not a huge amount. Focusing on having enough in life helps you feel happier and less stressed. So instead of chasing after more and more, aim to have what you truly need.
