Appreciation is everything.

When one has everything, their desire is insatiable.

When one loses everything, their desire is bite-size.

Because you gain an appreciation for everything.

Every morsel holds exceedingly more weight.

And you see the value in everything.

Never lose the ability to appreciate,

Because you’ll learn it one way or another,

By teaching or by experience.

The choice is yours.

“Every man has two lives, and the second starts when he realises he has just one. A happy person wants a thousand things, a sick person just wants one thing.” — Naval Ravikant.

Start your second life with me.

  • How did you feel before reading?
  • How did you feel whilst reading?
  • Do you feel any different now that you’ve finished?
