You buy furniture.  You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life.  Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled.  Then the right set of dishes.  Then the perfect bed.  The drapes.  The rug.  Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.  ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 5

To me, this means that my destiny is my own decision.  That the things I do and the decisions I make are my own and not predetermined by an Almighy Being.\n\nThis ALSO means that the repercussions to those decisions and behaviors are my own responsibility, that I can only blame myself for the results.

I think it refers to u not being greedy or being to attached to physical things. For example a person might be in need or just hint that he/she likes something of yours. If your greedy you might not even want to talk about the subject cause you already know where it's headed. If your attached you might be willing to give that person something else. If your a giving person you'll be able to weigh out the other persons necessity or interest in the object over yours. Giving full hearted, can bring you peace, love, joy and no regrets. But that's only if you do it full heartily. All & all i think the quote is a religious quote, and basically means you cant keep any earthly matter. If u can give willingly then its probably because you've realized that there is someone or something greater than you. If you ask me the most valuable thing anyone can give is their time. What u gain from giving what u cant keep, I think is a lifetime of peace, loves, & laughs, and at the end of it all an eternal life of happiness.

Money is a measurement unit of value. If you have it, it means that you have done something useful for someone else. The more people's needs and desires you can satisfy, the more money you have. Either that, or you're some kind of criminal.

There is a famous hebrew saying - ' Eizehu Oshir? Hasomeach bechelko' - which simply translates to 'who is the rich one? The one that is happy with his/her share.'   There is probably nothing missing in your life. Things are only missing if you perceive things that way, i.e. that I deserve a could job, health, children or whatever else you think.  If you look at yourself and say this is my life and I am going to be happy and stop expecting or thinking that things should be different, you will get to happiness.

They got everything they ever thought they wanted.. But really, they didn't get what they needed... family, friends, love, that sort of stuff... some people think if you just get all the "things" you can get your hands on, it'll make you happy, but you can own the whole world, and it won't do you a bit of good if you don't have someone to share it with.

I was thinking about the same thing the other day. It's funny how we hear phrases so much we know what they mean, but sometimes don't stop to think about it literally. I think it means to take something as if it will always be granted to you, as if you won't have to work hard for it in the future.
