This document describes a journey to help identify one's priorities in life. Participants choose 10 important people or objects for a journey, but must discard the least valued item every few minutes. Through repeated choices about what to keep or let go, one reflects on why certain relationships and possessions are more important. The journey aims to recognize that worldly wealth can disappear, while inner wealth like family and friends should be truly cherished. Making the most of the present by focusing on meaningful relationships, personal growth, and helping others is encouraged.
