SS-INTROSPECT #9 : Careless Treasure
Neglect begins and ends with our values. What we treasure in our existence shows. We find power in symbols but miss the biggest correlation in all of them. Ourselves. A $1000 dollar watch shining on your wrist. A $3000 dollar pair of shoe glistening on your wife's feet. A $80,000 dollar car under both of your asses. Very seldom do the symbols of power stand out more than pure dedication. It takes a closet full just to gain association in someone's mind. One day and one wear just won’t do it. The mood of being “the fraud” sweeps over you with an empty savings account and a 50,000 dollar car. It deepens when you leave it in the parking lot just to be ignored STILL by the woman you truly desire. How demeaning your internal thoughts are after spending thousands on an outfit and wig. All to be skipped over for a slim waist and round backside, in a $8 dollar sundress. So what is the real treasure? How can we be so careless with it?
Our body and mind is a treasure that is truly priceless. A connection between the both in their purest form is the definition of fitness and the standard of wellness. A man with a full chest and a $5 dollar tank top is unforgettable. A woman with ownership of a $500 bed set will forget her address after too many nights of resting in his arms. A man is oblivious to a queen in a $5000 dollar mink, when she is next to a hottie with a body in tights and a hoodie. The price in both examples took time and dedication. The dedication for manifesting your best body takes knowledge in dieting and self. Every diet doesn't work best for everybody. That time and self realization leads to better conversation, confidence, and connection. Also the same $4000 on those heels is 3 months of proper eating, education, and equipment. It becomes an investment in your biggest asset instead of a liability in your smallest closet.
Quality of life is a priceless treasure. That quality is determined by how careful you are with your biggest gift. Not the gift that was pulled off the rack but the gift that was pulled out your mother lol. In all seriousness the most expensive heels in the world will not dance the night away with poor ankle mobility. The pricest jeans still look crazy with a beer belly hanging over the buckle. The explanation for failure in both makes for a shitty story while expounding on your health journey always seems inspiring. Choose to be careful with your treasure it is priceless.
“You are priceless treasure.”
“Being careless with your gift is childish.”
“Investing in things outside of you instead of inside of you is ass backwards.”
