Trendy or dependable?

What’s trendy is valuable and exciting in the moment. But its value quickly fades.

What’s dependable continues to be attractive and useful over long stretches of time. It offers value that endures, that you’re able to rely upon.

Trendy can be fun and entertaining, and it is also a luxury. When you invest your time, your attention, or your resources in what’s trendy, the value returned is likely to be fleeting.

Trendy can make you look smart and exciting to be around. Dependable is not nearly so sensational in the moment, yet it can make you rich in the long run.

Trendy and dependable both have their place. It’s good to keep that in mind, and to keep them in balance.

Enjoy indulging in some trends of the moment. But commit yourself also to the not-so-trendy pursuits that can yield enjoyment, richness, and fulfillment for years to come.
