We are not the things we have lying around.
” If I had a billion dollars to launch a marketing campaign, I would launch a campaigh on things you already OWN, why not enjoy them today .
Because we all have so many things that are just around, that’s in the closet, that’s in the attic whatever that we don’t even think about it because there is not enough rooms left in our brains because we are so busy processing all the exciting new developments.
At the end of the day, when you are looking around the objects in your house and you are deciding what would really have value to me, what would be the things that have some meaning in your life ?
The hurricane is coming, you have 20 minutes, get your stuff and go… You are not going to be saying … well that got an amazing write-up in this design blog … you are going to pick the most meaningful objects to you…
Because those are the objects that truly reflect the true story of who you are and what your personal narrative is and the story that you are telling to yourself and no one else because that is the only audience that matters.”

I’ll just read and enjoy and absorb this
Thanks
