Building timeless value

Building something valuable over time takes patience and dedication.

Most of the time for me it looks like stewarding the vision more than anything else.

I'm constantly learning more of how involved my brain is in making my visions come through.

I've noticed how when something is my preference my brain guides my conscious and unconscious decisions towards that direction. 

Slowly but surely.

Instead of defining my future and today's success by the possession of something that age slowly eats up, I'm more and more clearly building the value upon non-materia and outside the "cool" or "popular" in my mind.

I could even talk about antient values, if the term would highlight more of the immaterial element of such things. 

Like deep meaningful friendships with the expence of time - and money, if needed.

Or authentic connection even with the price of making fool out of myself.

Deepend companionship with the price of unpopularity or less time spent in the circles where short term glory lays but is easily forgotten.

I'm learning to look more into what will stand time.

What is something that grows in timeless value while it has no in-the-market price or known value in any currency.

Where does the real life flow and resonate even when I'm gone.

In the hearts of the people, the lives that I've truly touched and served.

It's often a time of service behind the curtains, with no great splendor and with the taste of sacrifice of my own comfort or effective achievements. 

It is the slow steps when someone needs you and you cannot ask anything in return except for you seeing the glimmer in their eyes reflecting the timeless value of the moment.

True meanings are revealed with no fanfare or glitter nor spotlights.

In the mundane tired moments when you lay down your own rights to be seen or served.

When you choose to be present and gentle for the sake of the connection what's at stake.

Count in your season those moments when your glory and praise seeking soul is laid down while you do something good and with virtue in the secret.

Something that the world will never know or tell.

Something only you can give a real price to.

The cost of your attitude, your heart posture and eyes for the beauty in unlike moments and places.

Going low and slow for another when you hold no gain.

There's where you build your true fortune.

The one that time cannot touch to eat up, but which lives beyond in the hearts and souls of the people you so dearly choose to love.

There's where your timeless crown lies.

There's where the real gold dust hovers.

You steer the value you give with your today's vision. 

What is your vision like, dear?
