Episode 3547:

Ali Cornish explores how investing in experiences rather than material things leads to deeper connections, personal growth, and lasting happiness. Shared adventures strengthen relationships, build character, and create memories that far outlive the fleeting joy of possessions. Research supports this idea: experiences leave a profound emotional imprint, shaping who we are in ways that objects never can.

Read along with the original article(s) here: http://everthrive.org/blog/2017/3/1/experiences-not-things

Quotes to ponder:

"Experiences last longer in our memories than material items do."

"We are the sum of our experiences, not our things."

"Conquering tricky situations paves the way for potential opportunities to become better people, and becoming better people is the best gift of all."
