Quite a few years ago, we were given a silver minivan. It was a lovely luxury van. I really liked it, but honestly, I did not value it. How do I know? Well, It was always messy. I was ashamed of how it looked and rarely ever offered anyone a ride in that automobile. I couldn't be bothered with the task of keeping it clean. Fast forward to today. I have a little ford Fusion, it is quite clean. I even go through the carwash at least once a month. It is clean inside and out. I have put some value on this vehicle. I have had other things over the years, some I valued and some I didn't. It's ok because they are just material things and should not have a place of great importance anyhow. The point is that we can choose whether something is valuable to us. Imagine that two people both have baseballs signed by Babe Ruth. One sets it on a shelf and guards it. The other takes outside and uses it for batting practice. One treasures it and sees it
