I followed Tal Ben Shahar's advice as given in his book 'Happier' and made a list of 100 things that have made me happy and that I am grateful for. To my surprise, only 6 items in the list were possessions. The other 94 were experiences.
Interesting then, that we spend so much of our lives striving to reach a point where we can afford to buy that big house and that nice car and all those other status symbols.
Even more intriguing is what possesses us to buy all the junk that is a must have at the time of purchase but languishes unused, un-noticed and un-missed in our lives.
