What's in your treasure chest, and who holds the keys?

What's in your treasure chest, and who holds the keys?

We each have values which direct what's important, or of value to us. Maybe you have a rare collection of sports memorabilia with signed baseballs and uniform jerseys under glass. You might get excited about taking retreats to detox or meditate. Maybe you volunteer for Hospice or...
the SPCA. I know a man who has about 14 cars of rare distinction sitting in his specially made garage. He even paid $10,000 dollars to be on a waiting list for a Rolls Royce! A prominent sports figure then bought that "spot" in line from him for much more money. My point here is, what's driving your attention, your focus? Do you work extra hours for more money to surround yourself with stuff? Are you working just to make ends meet and feel that you're head is just above water? Either situation would benefit from a re- evaluation of your values and choices. The size and shape of your treasure chest is irrelevant. Purpose is found inside of your stash. You are not your stuff or your circumstance, but you do choose what is important to you. What if we could wear our treasure maps on our shirts for a day? It would raise awareness within us all to visually see where our passions lie.
