Accumulating possessions or experiences?

I am listening to one of my favorite podcast series, "Chase the Lion" by Mark Batterson.  He asked the question: "Are you trying to accumulate experiences or possessions?"  He stated that in an effort to be safe and secure and minimize uncertainty, we often try to accumulate possessions instead of experiences.  When I look back over the last several years, I am very thankful for the time I spent embracing new experiences.
