What you dont keep possession of, leaves you eventually ... (even if you own it)..

 Hello there!!!

This is one blog that I had in title alone, unpublished for long time! This now sees light of the day :).

Ownership and possession are not the same. In that way, I love English language so, so much that it has vast subtle-ness. I am not going into word definition here, but I get into things;

What can a person own or possess?

-Material things

-Skills

-Relationship, social circle, friends, acquaintances

-Health/Mental Strengths/Hobbies/Interests

-Wealth/Finances/Assets

In real life we 'own' many of these. But what stays along is that we possess!!! Yes. This is true. A plot of land that we 'own' gets in the hand of encroachers if we don't look at it for long time. A good friend becomes a stranger or downgrades into an acquaintance if we don't keep in touch for long time. That spouse whom you neglected for long time deserts, that child whom you gave birth but never gave time grows cold towards you. If a skill never used for long time, makes us struggle. That designer bag, shoe or dress not checked out from wardrobe for long time, tends to get some dust or loses in value or we no longer fit ourselves in!!!

So, if you really want to 'own' anything, keep auditing it often so that it is in your 'possession'. That is the reason we need to audit our lives, discard what no longer a regret to lose, keep ourselves light and minimal and move on with our prized possessions. 

What we 'own' is just a name in the document after all!!!
