How Much Is Enough?
Knowing how much or how little is enough can be a difficult thing.
How much hand holding do I provide for my children, and how does that vary according to their age?
How much do I say to those within my sphere of influence as opposed to just showing through my actions?
How much do I work to change things? Or do I leave them to run their course?
With balance being a key to life, we want to apply the right amounts of pressure and effort to the right places.
And the thing is... Only you know the answer to these questions. And furthermore we often gain the answer to these questions by trial and error.
Sometimes we overdo it, and other times we don't do enough. Hopefully age and wisdom teaches us when, where and how much.

Is the magic formula; "Less is more?" Or is the magic formula; "More is less?" Such a fine balance and so many things factor into what our decision will be at any given moment...
