When you’re not capable or willing to let go of that what you and others think, define you, you will never fully experience a sense of self. Most of us believe that a certain skill or aspect of their lives, whether it be their job, a hobby, a dozen throphies or a physical feature, is the measurement to which we compare our selfbeing. Not only is this tremendously shallow, it is by nature false. Your value in this world is as big as it is small and it is by no means represented through any of the above. If letting go of your expensive car, succesful job or crazy hot girlfriend makes you feel less about yourself, it does not mean that these things gave you your worth. It only means that you have not yet found who you are and what the essence of your character is. To desperately cling onto the things in your life in order to maintain some sort of feeling of excistence, is an empty way of living. Grow to become larger than any ‘thing’ and aspire to see both the value and wortlessness in the very same thing. Because what this doesn’t mean is that you should not try and set new goals. I actually mean the opposite. Buy that expensive car, enjoy fame, grow a physique, show off with your sexy ass girlfriend and then, drop it. All. Lose the car. Donate the money. Live in a flat. Eat chicken instead of steak. Wear a t shirt, not a suit. And see if it changes you. If it does, then all of these trivialities have defined you. BUT YOU ARE NOT THE THINGS YOU OWN OR THAT WHAT PEOPLE SEE. Reckon this, if none of us ever saw a Van Gogh painting, would he not have been a painter? *Be cautious not to blow your mind on that one*
