when is enough enough?

"I want to be prettier"
"Prettier... ? How will you know when you're pretty enough?" 

A friend recently recommended a show put on by Hulu entitled The Booth at the End.  It's this mind-twisting show about people who want things and what lengths they'll go to in order to get them.  The above lines captured my attention as an already pretty girl is asking to be prettier.

It makes me wonder if we ever get to the point where we are truly satisfied.

How will you know when you're pretty enough?
...thin enough?
...smart enough?
...strong enough?
...rich enough?

How will you know when you believe enough?
How will you know when you love enough?
How will you know when you're good enough?

How will you know when enough is enough?

Or, is that the point?
That our entire lives are comprised of us always striving to be something better, something greater than what we currently are?
Can there be true satisfaction in the striving?  Or does it always come back to defeat?

I'm curious.
Have you ever come to the point with anything in life where you felt it was enough?  Truly felt like it was enough, not just given up because you felt like it couldn't ever be better?

Let's hear it.
Are you satisfied?
