Just learned the Swedish word lagom β "just the right amount." Not too much, not too little. @robertbirming thinks it's a great life motto, and I wholeheartedly agree. Balance in how you live sounds simple β but in a world full of more, knowing when enough is enough is hard to master. I want this word on my wall somewhere β maybe in my little office. A daily reminder that I already have enough.
