Life is not only about treasure, prestige, and luxury but also a little achievement that maybe you forget about that. Sometimes, we forget about the purpose of our life. We are chasing something that tends to be temporary. Fear of Missing Out makes us forget our little achievements and our hopes that come true.

What are you looking for in treasure? It’s temporary.
When you get it, you will be looking for another treasure.
Moreover, you will forget about achievement.
You will be envious because they are looking for the highest achievement of treasure.
Don’t you ever tire of chasing the treasure in this world?
Life is not only about treasure but also blessed about the achievement that you get from your hard work.
Have you ever bought a handphone in the range of 2 million to 3 million with your own money? It was one of the achievements of your life.
Did you feel blessed about that?
Once in a while, we forget to be thankful for our little achievements.
Life is not about chasing treasure.

What are you looking for about prestige?
Sometimes humans forget to be grateful for the kind of stuff that they have. They are following society about the trend.
Hence, they forget that the trend is temporary.

“Should I buy a phone because my friends bought a new phone one week ago?”
“Should I buy a new bag because there is a new bag that is cute, and it seems good for me?”
“Should I buy new clothes because the clothes that I bought one week was ugly and I could not mix and match the clothes,”
“Should I….”

And she was confused about choosing what she needed to have.
She is merely joining the trend without looking at the functions.
She forgets that trends are temporary, and the stuff would not be used by everyone.
Did you ever feel tired because you have to buy some items that may be is not necessary for us and everyone?

What are you looking for about luxury?
Too good to be true? Or only one validation that makes you happy?

“Wow, you’re good with the items that you used to. How about the price?” Is only one validation for that?

Did you ever forget that rich people do not need validation if they are really rich?
Have you ever forgotten that everyone can seem like rich people?
How to look like a rich person is you do not need to buy a luxury item. Everyone will know that you are rich.

There is no long-term investment. When we die, it will go away from our temple. Everyone will remember our kindness, knowledge, and the moment.

They will forget about your treasure.
They will forget about your prestige.
They will forget about your luxury.

Then, why do you chase something that temporary in this world? Everything is temporary, and you do not have to chase. Suppose you are chasing something that temporarily will make you tired. We need to be a blessing by your achievement and take a rest for a while. It is not solely about the world and prestige.
