We add value. We decide.

We decide what things mean to us. We decide what means something to us and what doesn’t. We add value, we create value.

Your grandmother’s necklace? It’s just a necklace. We give meaning and value to objects, people, and situations. I don’t want to say “special items” should be treated as NOT being special. It’s fine to give value to things unless it’s hurting you and possibly making your life more difficult or even simply worse.

What about giving meaning to one own’s life?
