We’re taught that success is about more:

More money.

More visibility.

More productivity.

But what if enough is the new success?

In this Quiet Builder reflection, Melvin Varghese, PhD shares how his definition of success has shifted over time—from status and income to simplicity, sustainability, and inner peace.

As a first-generation immigrant, psychologist, founder, and father, Mel opens up about the quiet tradeoffs behind his life today—why he turned down visibility opportunities, what his daily rhythm looks like now, and how redefining “enough” helped him avoid burnout and build a business that actually fits the life he wants to live.

If you’ve ever wondered what enough looks like for you (not for the world), this episode is for you.
