Just a vessel, Nothing more

  • Our body is just a vessel that shows what we really are inside.It doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside , so don’t care just about it. Instead, care more about enriching your soul.

  • We live in a consumerist society where we learn that we need the best clothes, phones, cars and that these things are a measure of success. But that’s not true. We only use these tools temporarily, and most of these things don’t add much value to our lives. So shift your focus away from possessions, so they become less important to you. Usually, people with an internal void are the ones that fill it with material things. Instead, help yourself, help others and understand that you aren’t the things you own.

  • Improve your life experience instead of what new gadget you own. Get rid of the old or the things you don’t use anymore. Donate it or just give it to a friend. Avoid the status game and judge yourself only by your ethics. You know you can’t take anything with you when you die, so prioritize what’s important to you , your relationship, more knowledge, and better experiences.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
