A Pocket Full of Gems

“Memory is the diary we all carry about with us.” – Oscar Wilde

Imagine each day leaves you with a stone in each hand.
In your right hand: the best moment—the highlight, the joy, the victory.
In your left hand: the struggle—the irritation, the misstep, the pain.

As you squeeze both, you begin to notice something: The stone in your left hand is light—brittle, fragile. It crumbles with just a little pressure, falling to the ground as dust.

But the stone in your right hand? It holds something deeper. With time and reflection, it reveals a precious gem: a lesson, a laugh, something larger or something seemingly insignificant but cloaked in beauty.

Choose to carry that gem with you. Leave the crumbled pieces behind.

Stop ignoring the treasures each day offers you. Stop giving weight to what was meant to be let go. Hold onto the good. Unburden yourself from the useless stones.
Carry on—with a pocket full of gems
