"There’s no point in wanting more when you can’t even love what you already have".
🥀
While you dream of mansions,
your home fills with sunlight you never see.
Chasing millions while your child's laughter
echoes through empty rooms.
Hunting fame while love waits
in your kitchen, growing cold.
We are all guilty—losing life
while planning to live it.
Your feast does not come tomorrow.
Life is already served, yet you ignore it
as it grows cold.
"None of us have much time.
And yet, you act as if things were eternal—
by the way you fear and long for them."
— Marcus Aurelius

A wise man once spoke,
but a wiser man only listened.
📌 "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
— Maurice Switzer

And when you achieve success, seek someone who has walked a similar path to yours, not someone who indulged in worldly pleasures while you worked hard.
"There is nothing more noble or admirable than when two people who see the world in the same way build a home as husband and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends."
— Homer, The Odyssey
