My most valuable possession is my training gear(can that be considered 1 item?). The mouth piece is most important thought because without it i can't do anything in the gym. lol

True.. We come into this world with nothing.. And when we leave this world we take nothing with us.. except the lessons we learn in this lifetime.

Glad to hear you enjoy the thread. True had noticed alot of doom and gloom about.. Life is what we make of it .. Yes theres bad in the world.. But there also is alot of beauty in the world as well. Think people get so caught up in just trying to get by that they forget to stop and enjoy life along the way..

My mind.

The first thing that came to my mind was my children, but I buried my only daughter (18) in January. I have my son but at the end of the day, when all is said and done all I'm left with are my memories of the things I have experienced.

Our experiences make us into who we are as individuals. How we handle our experiences aid in molding our personalities. My spirit may be crushed but my mind is in tact.

If we lose our minds we lose everything.

My sincere condolences to you.. Hardest and saddest thing in the world is for a parent to lose a child.. She lives on in your heart and memories..

My health.

Without health, it doesn't matter how much other stuff you have.

My hands
We will need to rebuild after
what we fear destroys everything
We already achieved!

The art, by which I mean the visual art, and the writings, and the musical works...the whole huge pile of insane weird garbage made by me in the last three decades of folly...If I lost everything but that, I would be fine...and if I kept everything else but lost the art pile, I would be really really really unhappy about it forever...

The egoic self thinks it can possess something, but the real you can't possess anything because you are a part of everything. You could either say you possess everything or nothing. That's why you can't "lose" your life--you ARE life.
