Quote of the Day: Collecting Moments

(Source)

I saw this quote recently and it really made me stop for a moment and think.

Each day we are flooded with messages that tell us we need more things. We need the newest this, or the greatest that.

Often I trick myself into thinking that I need something, rather than just wanting it. But all that stuff is meant to bring more convenience into our lives, isn’t it? To make us better, trendier and happier, right?

The truth that I have discovered is that sometimes letting go of things can be far more freeing than accumulating them. Material possessions will eventually fade away, but them memories that we make and the relationships that we form can last for a lifetime.

Less stuff means more space, more money, more time, more peace, and ultimately more freedom.

Not that having things is bad, but what are we truly saving? I sure hope that I’m collecting moments.
