What do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you want to live? How much money do you want to make? One could go on and on with elaborate, ambitious illusions. None of these is the actual goal in life for the seeker working to elevate themselves. In your youth, can you remember someone who lived a very simple life? They weren’t concerned with keeping up with what everyone else had, nor were they sold on living a life based on a capitalistic agenda. Maybe it’s not about how many things one can gain, but about letting go of things that make our lives so heavy. Learning to recognize what resources we have been given in life to take purposeful steps towards our goal is important.
