Our mind comes as standard equipment at birth. It's free. And things that are given to us for nothing we place little value on. Things that we pay money for we value. The paradox is that exactly the reverse is true. Everything that's really worthwhile in life came to us free. Our mind. Our soul. Our body, our hopes, our dreams. Our ambitions. Our intelligence. Our love of family, children and friends. All these priceless possessions are free. But the things that cost us money are actually cheap, and can be replaced at any time.
