RE: Collect Moments, Not Things

in #moments7 years ago

Often people look for great pleasures, possessions, money, success in business or personal happiness. And although these achievements can be rewarding, they do not necessarily bring us that inner happiness that the human being longs for.

If we look at examples of popular people who achieved fame, success, money and recognition from around the world but who ended up in a sad, lonely, and premature way, we will realize that all those achievements did not make them feel completely happy . Characters like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, David Carradine or the recently deceased Robin Williams give us the alarm that we need "something else". But where is that what we are looking for?

The normal thing is that we go through life in "automatic pilot" that we do not stop to observe ourselves, to listen to ourselves and to find ourselves with that internal being that is speaking to us but that we do not attend. Maybe we are afraid to become aware of our path in life, maybe we know that there are things that hurt us, worry or disturb but we prefer to go with that "background music" of haste, consumerism, the desire to get more far, to anticipate the next season without having reached the one we are going, to enlist in relationships that do not make us happy but that suddenly give us a strong but temporary emotion ... and that is how our lives go by and even though we try to fill ourselves Finally, we feel empty.

As @javibar says, the material makes you feel good ... but it does not give you happiness, the material can not be taken to the other world ... so do not cling to the material, live your life and be happy.
