Prioritize People over Stuff

#wellness #possessions #experiences #people #friends #family

Do you ever feel like you just keep getting new stuff but it never makes you happy? No matter what you buy there will always be something else that is going to catch your attention and make you want that particular thing. This makes it very hard to be content with all of the blessings and things that we do have. Rather than reflecting on all the good things that we have, we are constantly seeking more. I find myself looking to buy things that I really don't need at all. These feelings can make it really hard to be grateful for what we do have. Nothing that you buy is ever going to make you happy, of course, we all know this but it doesn't always reflect our practices.

What I've been thinking about is that in years from now I am not going to worry about what I buy or didn't buy or the things that I had. Although they might have brought happiness for a short time it is not lasting. Looking back what is really going to make a difference is the time spent with family and friends and the impact that was made by those interactions and relationships. Doing something fun with a friend or catching up with someone after a long time is going to have a much bigger impact and it will help you to take a step back and realize what to be thankful for, it helps me realize all the things I already have. I know it is different for everyone, but maybe you can take a step back and just realize all you have to be thankful for!
