I have always been a believer in abundance, so when I first heard "enough", it felt like a curse! A girl can never have "enough" shoes or enough chocolate, after all. It was explained to me that this was the shortened version of the wish, which goes along the lines of "I wish you enough so that you never yearn for more and enough not to keep you humble".
In conversations about the ridiculously rich and famous, people often say that they wouldn't like having so much money as there will be nothing left to live for, nothing more to achieve. Personally, I can't imagine being so rich that there's nothing left for me to do. Look at Oprah Winfrey, one of the most famous, wealthiest women alive - she is forever busy with another project. I have never heard of anyone who was bored with their life because they had too much money. I believe that perhaps a lack of ambition could cause rich people to become bored, but it can as easily happen to someone who is not wealthy.
Hypothetically speaking, imagine yourself having "arrived" at a point where you have money coming out of your ears, figuratively speaking of course. Imagine being bored, having achieved all your goals in life and now at age 60 you are a billionaire with everything your heart desires. Just how bad could it be?
In my opinion, losing the desire to achieve is much worse than arriving at the point where you have achieved everything you wanted to and now being bored.
Lack of desire and no resources make dreams hard to achieve.
A desire for achievement is easily born and achieved when you are already successful and you have a certain frame of reference to fall back on. Besides, dreams are infinite - you can never run out of dreams and they are easily achieve with the right resources which money can buy.
