A good job. A fat paycheck. An inheritance. Stocks. Bonds. Insurance. Game systems. Swimming pool. Sauna. Big house. Big yard. Vacation home. Ocean front property. Prestige. Power. Disposable income. Tailored clothing. Personal tailor.
Name on VIP guest lists. All of these things are fun and good. Most of us would love to have at least a few of them at least for awhile. It would be so much fun to live like the rich and famous. Or, so it seems. I don't really know. Most of us are like me, comfortable enough, sometimes moreso, sometimes less. It varies. But happy enough with how things are. We can live without most of the things on the list and not really be worse off.
Friends who will put aside everything to be with you if you are sick. A family who would actully miss you if you were gone. Coworkers who respect and admire you. People who would hold your hand and not leave or even want to leave when life gets really hard or when your life is drawing to a close. A child who brightens when you walk in. They seem like such little things. We don't spend as much time trying to achieve them as the stuff we try to get. Yet, when the moment of need comes, we would give every single possession just to have even one person who is willing to be with us and not walk away. Kind of makes you wonder what you should spend your time doing, doesn't it?
blessings,
