Man, this was an awesome write up, favorite post of the day. There is so much value in that story, and not just in the end line. I think that where are thoughts and beliefs are in regards to ourselves, our inner self, is where we will end in life.
Vision drives me towards my goals. I'm currently trying to discover a place of clarity within myself that I've seen and maintained for short periods of time. My goal is to discover this for myself, find my true nature, and help others who are trying to do the same. I'm determined because I think it could change the world for the better, and improve quality of life and the connection we have with eachother and nature.
Other goals are providing for my family and doing work I'm passionate about, which if I succeed in my main goal will happen on it's own.
Glad I followed you, your posts are great!
Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your thoughts! I agree that in the end, our most valuable possession is our inner self. Money and fancy objects are just fleeting extravagences that can bring us short-term joy - which is not a bad thing, so long as the user understands that these material items and the joy they bring are only temporary.
Our inner self and our loved ones are all we have. Material possessions are just fleeting moments that we get to enjoy, but it's our loved ones and our inner self that are eternal.
Well said!
