Busy for decades, these are the only things that truly belong to you

Every day, being chased by an alarm clock, squeezing into the subway like participating in a marathon, working overtime to the point where even the delivery guy knows you - looking back, bank card numbers have gone up and down, shopping carts are clear and full, but the things that are truly held in the palm of my hand seem to be only a few thousand photos in my phone that I don't have time to organize. Are those limited edition items that stay up late to buy, those hair that is white for promotion, really what you want?

1. Health is your perpetual property certificate

1. The body won't lie

The fatty liver on the medical examination report for three consecutive years, and the sudden palpitations during a meeting, are not warnings that can be fooled by "next time pay attention". I have heard too many stories about exchanging life for money when I was young and for life when I am old, but what truly belongs to me is always the lungs that can breathe freely and the heart that beats regularly at this moment.

2. Immunity is the most expensive luxury.

It was only discovered when the virus struck that even the most expensive bag couldn't stop a sneeze. I usually dislike my mom's nagging about 'wearing long pants', until the flu season when the office collapses, and the one who can still bounce around is the real winner in life.

2. Real Deposit in Time Account

1. The Value of Disposable Time

Being able to watch a movie in its entirety on weekends without answering work calls, and getting into bed before 10 pm, these seemingly ordinary moments have become scarce resources in the normalization of 996 today. Time is the true non renewable resource, spending one hour will always save one hour.

2. Focus is the new currency of the 21st century.

Which makes you feel more "earned", the emptiness after watching a two-hour short video or the fulfillment after reading a book with focus? Information explosion In the era of explosion, only those who can control the flow of attention truly grasp their own quality of life.

3. Net Value Assessment of Emotional relationships

1. Phone Numbers That Can be Dialed Late at Night

How many WeChat friends can you call out for hotpot at 3am? Those who have seen you bare faced, know all your dark history, and are willing to accompany you crazy are the real fixed assets of life.

2. The compound interest effect of shared memory

Talking to old friends about embarrassing stories from their student days and still laughing to tears, this kind of happiness is more than anything else The excitement of the new game console is more enduring. The most valuable connections in interpersonal relationships are always those that have been tested by time.

4. Primitive stock of self-awareness

1. Core after stripping social labels

When the titles of "CEO" and "Manager" are removed, do you still recognize yourself? The strange thoughts that arise when you are alone, and the niche hobbies that you have persisted in for ten years, which are not influenced by external evaluation systems, are your most unique life code.

2. The possibility of continuous evolution

Learning oil painting at the age of 35 and obtaining a diving license at the age of 40, these "unproductive" attempts often bring you closer to your true self than career advancement. The greatest wealth in life is to always retain the courage to redefine oneself.

Looking at the neon lights outside the office window, perhaps we should change the sentence structure from "when I retire..." to "after work today...". The things that truly belong to you never need to wait for a specific moment to have them. They are hidden in the choices you make every day - the decision to skip social events and go to the gym, the video call to an old friend, the book you read halfway by the bedside. These seemingly tiny possessions are quietly building a museum of life that belongs only to you.
