The Best Things In Life Aren't Things
I don't even know who said it first, but it's a good axiom: the best things in life aren't things.
In other words, there are more important things than money and possessions.
I'm realizing that I've been stuck yet again in a cycle of obsessing over things like finances and gadgets and technology and collecting music.
And I've been neglecting things of most importance. Like connecting and spending time with family and friends in real life. Taking care of my mental, physical, and spiritual health. Taking time to be still – to recognize and appreciate the beauty and goodness in life.
We can't take any physical stuff with us when we're done here. But we take who we are. Our experiences. What we've learned.
We can't avoid the need for things in this life. Food, clothing, shelter. It's part of mortality.
But physical things are temporary. Fleeting. Finite. They can't bring true happiness or lasting joy.
Focus on what's really important. Things that matter. Things that bring real meaning and purpose.
Focus on things that aren't things.
