Post 80: Value People, Not Things

December 12, 20221 min read

A general rule which has helped me tremendously is: value people, not things.

I have a friend I was out on a walk and talk with who I have known since I was sixteen years old. At one point he talked about how I was regularly covering him when things like food was purchased. And he had the intention of paying me back. We are talking about twenty plus years of me doing this, so he had been thinking about this for a long time.

I tried to explain it just didn’t matter to me. The outcome I wanted in my life was more time with him.

I value people over things, over money, over just about everything else. The consequence of that judgement is I have some truly amazing people in my life, like him. And having amazing people in my life makes me quite happy.
