RE: WHY I’m ON Steemit - Reason 4

in #life7 years ago

I very much enjoyed reading your post and your honest observations, experiences and reflections coming through your story @streemtruth. I can imagine if you have lived that life which so many in this world desire to live, it's "easier" to see through it and realize it's an illusion in a way. I sometimes catch myself (when I'm radically honest with myself) living towards that illusion of having "more", having a certain "success" within possessions as a form of "status" in this world. It's a sneaky, even "hard-wired" programming in the mind to want "more", to want "fame" and to be part of that "elite", believing they must also experience or be "more" internally and existentially somehow. Your story was a nice reminder and confirmation that it is in fact an illusion and that real wealth is to ask ourselves and live according to what we can contribute to this world rather than what we can "get out of it". Upvoted, followed and resteemed, steemtruth. I'll enjoy reading more of these posts.

You nailed it and you clearly get it. Thank you the encouragement and support. It is very much appreciated.
