You Can’t Measure The Important Things

If you can measure it, chances are it’s not the most important thing(s) you have.

How do you measure happiness, health, opportunity, fulfillment, love?

Why do we grow flowers? Why does art exist? How can you measure and value your favorite song, place, painting, poem or book?

How can you measure your favourite bench next to the river? Or your favourite place for a walk?
You’re favourite chair to read in?

How do you buy one caring friend who reaches out to you when you really need it? How do you buy a caring pat on the back and knowledge somebody is there for you?

How do you measure your child smiling at you and telling you that they love you?

How do you measure a spouse or any other close relationship that brings love?

How do you measure one tear of joy?

Don’t cheapen your existence by reducing it down to the measurable things. Stop quantifying everything. Because the things you can quantify don’t really matter.

If  your worth can be reduced to a number, you’re poor.

If you have to count something, count how many unmeasurables you have in your life.
