Want a Rich Life? Create Memorable Experiences

People remember how you made them feel.

Quite a long time ago, a colleague of mine told me he made it a priority to create memorable experiences for people.

No one had ever phrased it quite like that before to me.

We frequently hear that material things in life aren’t what give us happiness and fulfillment. I intellectually knew that investing in life over “things” was the way to go, but I wasn’t really living that way back then.
