There's a very similar quote by Bob Marley:
Don’t gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold
I'm no different from the next man. I wanna be rich (biatch!). I can't say I hate my job, but I'd rather be doing more fun stuff any day. It would be nice to have a car for every day of the week and a nice house to keep them in.....
Although arguably out-dated, this is still my dream car
...but a lot of people have become so focused on "hustling" and making that cheese that it's consumed their lives. They see people on TV living glamorous lifestyles and being happy. Who the hell wouldn't want that lifestyle? I'm certainly not saying don't make money. Shit, make a lot of it if you can! Just remember, that in this world, it can all disappear and turn your world upside down. Don't get too attached to that stuff. If you can be happy with or without all your riches, that's power. I've come to the belief that searching for things to make you happy is a weakness we've learned somehow. I believe that God made us perfect as we are. When I say "we," I don't mean people. People are imperfect in an imperfect world. I mean our souls. Our true Self. We forgot our real identities and we go out and try to get things and make things for ourselves to express who we think we are or who we want to be.
a cozy spot at the beach would be nice
I don't really know what I'm getting at. It's just for those who share similar goals as me (to wake up), we can't forget what we're here for. Things don't make you who you are. Your body doesn't even come close to our true identities. True forgiveness, I believe, will reveal to us what we forgot about ourselves. The world isn't real, so don't make anything in it what it isn't.
