Appearance versus Substance

Many get stuck on the way that something looks instead of the substance beneath something. They look at the size of something or the shape. There is something superficial that captures their eye or attention. That might be a good reason to be attracted to something but it is not the reason to stay with it.

Once something attracts you, it needs substance to keep you. It is always wiser to take your time with something and go beyond the superficial. That will serve you better and give you a chance to see how something works for you and with you.

In a time where much will soon be released, look at what stays. Look at the bond that keeps it connected to you. Look at the ways whatever you do or have serve you or add to the quality of your life. Look for the depth of something and its true nature. You are looking for things and experiences that are a good fit for you and you are a good fit for whatever it is your are bringing into your life. That will sustain you much better.
