Lesson 3 - What is essential is invisible to the eye.

We come into this world with nothing, and we will leave it all the same. What I value most in this life is intangible. You can't go out and buy it in a store, drive it down the street, live in it, or even look into its big beautiful eyes. Remember this; our senses can be deceptive, our egos can be cunning.

Personally, I don't care how much money you have, or what car you drive, or how ripped you are, or how impressive your job is... that doesn't matter to me. What I admire instead is courage, humility, consistency, compassion, dedication, selflessness, loyalty... those are the qualities I am drawn to, those are my priorities, THAT is what is essential.  Don't get me wrong, nice things are nice... but they are not what's most important, they are not essential. If I had the choice of a five course meal at a five star restaurant, or some homemade biscuits that ended up burnt because you didn't quite know what you were doing but you wanted to do something special... then give me those burnt-ass biscuits from the heart please. You may say "Yeah yeah yeah I get it Mish" but sadly, most people genuinely do not understand it or feel that way... and I think that's a huge problem. At the end of the day, none of that other shit even matters. And it won't last.

And so goes my favorite quote...

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." - Antoine De Saint, The Little Prince
