If you think “I must own a Rolls-Royce,” you feel tense and constrained.
If you think “I could rent a Rolls-Royce,” your mindset immediately relaxes.
And if you go even further — sitting in a Rolls-Royce someone else rented is fine — you feel freer still.
It wasn’t the Rolls-Royce itself that created the tension. It was the need to own it.
But we don’t really own a single flower, a blade of grass, or a tree. Even when we pay for control, that control is only temporary.
Then what is the point of chasing after a Rolls-Royce?
It is because the path to getting one is long — made of countless moments, and tested by every hardship.
Just like building a business.
What stays with me isn’t the business itself.
It was the people I met, the conversations I had, the decisions I made, and the inner states I was forced to face.
All of these moments are so precious.
The object we eventually acquire is, in a sense, secondary.
The moments we live and the growth we gain will always stay with us, wherever we go.
