Life isn’t just the hustle, the stuff we own, or the experiences we dive into with our senses. It’s about you—your essence is what truly defines life. Everything else? They’re like the spices or upgrades that add flavor or style.
Mixing up these elements as life itself? That’s where we lose sight of our role in shaping our own existence. Sure, life hands us the basics—our origins, circumstances, the air we breathe—but it’s us who create the whole shebang. The real game-changer? Thinking that the latest gadgets, the plush homes, the flashy cars, or the overflowing bank accounts define our existence. But truth be told, getting lost in this chase makes these things start calling the shots, burdening us instead of lifting us up.
It’s like confusing a spare wheel for the whole car and expecting it to do the same job. That’s how many folks out there see life—mixing up the extras for the whole deal. But hey, it’s high time we realize that ‘life’ is essentially all about you. The rest? They’re either the ingredients or the bling that jazzes up this journey.
Understanding this difference? That’s where the real magic lies. It’s in knowing this contrast that life unlocks its full potential.
