“While you are alive collect moments not things, earn respect not money and enjoy love not luxuries.” – Aarti Khurana I LOVE this quote and here are 4 reasons why I think it’s true: Experiences help us learn about ourselves If you’ve ever taken a trip on your own or walked along a nature trail before, it will have given you time to reflect and become self-aware. Experiences allow us to learn about what we like and what we don’t like. They teach us how to face and even conquer our fears. Experiences can test us at times, and show us what we are capable of accomplishing. Hiking up to the top of a mountain, for example, can test your endurance. Rock climbing or bungee jumping may help you conquer a fear of heights. Moments allows us to bond with others They’re about creating social connections with others, and being closer to other people tends to make us happier. Memories of Moments are precious Experiences tend to be brief, but the memories from these moments can last a life
