Let’s face it, most people play a losing
game. To quote from Tyler Durden from
the cult classic movie “Fight Club”: We buy
the stuff we don’t need with money we
don’t have to impress people we don’t
even like.
That’s the kind of life we’re living. I know it
sounds harsh. I know it sounds
judgmental, but it’s also the truth. Unfortunately, for far too many of us, we equate having stuff
with living worthy lives.
We equate the stuff that we wear, the stuff that we own, and the things we focus on with the
quality of our lives. In fact, for far too many people, stuff or possessions are one and the same
as self and self-worth.
This should not be a surprise because far too many people confuse price with value. We think
that the more expensive something is, the more value it has, and we allow ourselves to feel
worthwhile, appreciated, and acknowledged depending on the price of the stuff we have access
