A Coin in My Wallet

"We all carry something in our wallet: a photo of our loved ones, a receipt, or perhaps a coin. For me, it's not just a coin; it's a reminder of the choices I made."

When the pockets are empty, It is easy to get frustrated and dismiss something as small and insignificant like this coin. Yet, some hold on to it, believing it must serve some purpose. In my opinion, this is a positive and practical mindset, and it's something everyone should embrace.

Nothing in this world is truly useless. Even something as small as a coin can prove valuable in unexpected ways. When I'm uncertain about a decision, I often rely on flipping the coin for guidance. I believe making a decision, even if it's a tough one, is far better than being stuck in indecision, especially when it only causes frustration.

I remember going to a job interview, feeling overwhelmed by stress, wondering what would happen if I didn't get the job. I’m not really sure why, but that day, looking at my coin gave me a sense of confidence. It was like a reminder that, no matter what happened, I still had this small but meaningful thing.

Many people might find it strange to carry something like a coin in your wallet when you're short on money, but the truth is, it all depends on how someone chooses to view it. At first, it felt a bit strange when my friends started asking questions and making jokes about it. But over time, it became something normal to me.

This coin has proven to be quite lucky, traveling with me on buses, trains, and sometimes even planes. It has stayed by my side through moments of joy and sorrow, across deserts and mountains, and while working in various jobs.

This coin has taught me valuable lessons about finding joy in the small things we possess. Sometimes, what seems insignificant at first might hold deeper meaning in your life. Over time, we come to understand that even the smallest things can leave a lasting impact on our lives.

It's been more than five years now, and I still keep this coin as a symbol of good luck. I've noticed something interesting about men—they often keep something like this for years, eventually viewing it as a milestone, and take pride in it. I feel the same way now. I take pride in sharing the story of this coin with others.

Perhaps you also have something in your life—a small keepsake or lucky charm—that brings you a sense of peace and comfort. Somewhere in the world, someone might have something similar to what I have—an object that brings them even a small measure of joy and comfort. No one thinks about you as deeply as you think about yourself. Instead of dwelling on negativity, it’s better to focus on positivity, as it’s the key to our well-being.

I once traveled with an elderly man on a train who shared a profound thought with me. He said, 'Even if I’m poor in my pocket, I’m rich in my heart.' He explained that being rich inside means learning to find happiness in what you have, as the human desire for more never truly ends.

Sharing the stories and personal experiences behind the things we've kept or the actions we've taken in life allows us to connect with others, especially those who share similar perspectives. By sharing our thoughts, we experience a sense of joy that resonates deeply within our hearts.

Perhaps it's not the coin itself, but the journey it represents—each dent and scratch a memory, each moment shared a reminder that even the smallest things can hold the greatest significance.
