Prize those special things you hold in your hands. Enjoy every moment with them. If one is lost or stolen, just replace it with another one or something similar. You might enjoy it just as much, or more, than the missing one.

However, the most valuable treasures are the ones you hold in your heart. They are special feelings you don’t ever want to lose. Once they’re gone you can’t replace them. Departed feelings vanish forever.

So take those wonderful feelings and hold onto them for dear life. They are the substance which makes living precious and meaningful. They are your reality. Everything else is just an illusion.
