I have it all, all I really need. Let me explain.
I see ‘having it all’ as a matter of contentment. Is one satisfied with what one has? Typically, no. A bit of research shows that Americans want 10% more income on average no matter what their income is. A vague discontent seems to be the lot of the US.
I don’t think of ‘having it all’ as a material-laden destination other than having one’s needs and a reasonable number of their wants met. How that looks depends on the individual. In the US, that means a house; other countries (I’ve heard) differ in that. I see ‘having it all’ as a matter of satisfaction with lifestyle, which is more than just possessions. It’s friends, family, the safety of where one lives, rewarding pastimes and the like.
I am satisfied with my life. I have a solid marriage with someone who I can be myself with. We own a house and our cars are in reasonable shape.
I have a good job that challenges me. My hobby (writing) gives me plenty of flow activity. I have some health challenges, but they’re under control (except for the arthritic knees). I could use more friends, but as I don’t get out much, I don’t know what we’d be doing.
In my eyes, I have it all.

Having It All
threadbare coat, old van,
still I walk with open eyes.
I fix what I can,
hold what breaks, and in that space
lie riches neither seen nor named.
I don’t have it all in the usual sense – my body’s worn out, our house needs fixing, money’s scant, my hospital work is hard and mostly unremarked – but I see those things as the forge of grace. I find beauty in the small, the broken, the honest, the moment. That, to me, is having it all.

Exactly! I do not need a perfect life — I need to be reasonably content. Living in the moment (as you noted) helps.
