Money’s worth lies in what it can exchange for — not in how we judge or treat the physical bills themselves.
A person’s value works the same way. It does not reside in the aging body or in surface appearances. It lives in the portrait others paint of you in their hearts.
Why not endure a few years of hardship to add more meaning, color, and beauty to that portrait?
Our significance comes from our impact on others’ memories and hearts — not from what we look like, and not from what we own.
