Wealth does not make us happy. Relationship quality and the ability to be generous does. Are you really working on what matters? Are you making sure to have no regrets of things undone? That is what we mind the most.

Each item in our home has an emotional cost and takes space. Let go of the guitar that you see that pangs you every time because you did not practice or did not get lessons, etc. Treasure the items you do have and give them the attention and love they deserve.
