I happened upon this quote yesterday, and wanted to put a spotlight on it:
“This life is not so much a time for getting and accumulating as it is a time for giving and becoming.”
-Lance B. Wickman
I wish that people understood and lived this. It would solve a lot of problems, not the least of which being the present state of the U.S. economy.

Sounds like a slight twist on an Elbert Hubbard classic:
“We work to become, not to acquire.”
Both are good quotes that embody an admirable life philosophy. A worthy aside
.
Thanks for the quote and comment, Aransus! It’s really not that hard of a concept, it just requires humility and selflessness. Every little step counts.
