Life's treasures
The good things in your life are infinitely more enjoyable
when you avoid becoming dependent on them. If you see
yourself as desperately needing something, the fear of
losing it prevents you from getting full benefit from it.
Many of life's frustrations come from being unable to fully
enjoy the good things that are already right in front of
you. The desire to hold on tightly to the things you have
can make those things virtually worthless.
Security is not attained by hiding away from life. The most
enduring form of security is found in knowing that you can
deal successfully and positively with whatever may
happen.
Life's treasures become useless when they remain locked
inside a vault of your own making. What good is it to have
anything of value if you must live in fear of losing it?
Instead, take the treasure that is your life out into the
world and enjoy it. Focus on the possibilities and not on
the fears.
The more you think you need, the more those needs will hold
you back. The more you choose to give and to live, the more
good things you'll find coming your way.
