You Are Not Your Things

James — January 13, 2020

In our world of conspicuous consumption, it’s easy to get mixed up. Sometimes we start to believe that we are our things.

That if our smartphone is new, that we are “new” too. Or that if our car is a luxury brand, that we are a “luxury brand” too.

But of course this is not the case…

It doesn’t really matter what car you drive. Or what clothes you are wearing. Or what couch you are sitting on.

You are not your things.

You are you. You’re a person that is living a life by making intentional choices each day, each moment.

    Or that you not only end a sentence with one preposition, but two.

    “Or what clothes you are wearing. Or what couch you are sitting in on.”

    Otherwise, I agree with you.
