WHY WE LOVE WHAT WE DO - MEMORIES

Simple. We focus on creating moments that will remain engraved in the memories of others.

When you recall an experience, you tend to remember key moments: the peaks, the pits, and the transitions.
It’s these defining moments that shape our lives.
A defining moment is a short experience that is both memorable and meaningful.
You can create them.

How to create a moment that matters?

StepFlix has it figured it out, just remember EPIC. Any of the four elements has the potential to become a powerful moment.

Elevation: Emotional peaks (along with endings) are more likely to get remembered.
Pride: Recognize others. Sometimes just a few positive words can turn into a huge moment of pride for the recipient.
Insight: We change our view of the world and likely change the way we live our lives as a result. This often happens in moments of transition or challenge.
Connection: An experience that is shared with others is likely to be more meaningful.

Everyone says money can’t buy happiness, but research shows that it actually can. The key to money buying you happiness is to spend your money on experiences rather than material things. That said, let’s talk about why you should collect moments not things.

Why does collecting moments not things matter?

Research on happiness shows that buying material things — even really large material things, such as your dream car— has no real impact on your overall happiness. It may satisfy you temporarily, but you’ll return to your baseline happiness once the shine wears off.

On the other hand, spending money on experiences leads to more, prolonged levels of happiness both before, during, and after consumption

It sounds ironic — the idea that happiness fades away with items that last forever and lasts forever with experiences that fleet. But the research doesn’t lie. Even if you spend more time using a material item than you do an experience, the experience leads to more happiness.

Here are a few more reasons why collecting moments in our memories and not things are vital to increasing our happiness:

MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES SHAPE YOUR IDENTITY.

Your life is defined by the experiences you have — not by the material items you keep. When you’re old and gray, you’ll look back on your scrapbook of experiences as nostalgic past times and an endless source of joy and happiness. As you go through life, remembering to collect moments not things can help you have fewer regrets.

Collecting moments not things connects you with others.

When you collect moments not things, you create shared experiences with other people.This connection you feel with others is one reason why collecting moments not things is so important. You’re a more open-minded, intelligent, and outgoing person when you collect moments not things

These experiences are what you chat about at the dinner table, what you reminisce on when you’re catching up with friends. Even if they weren’t super great experiences in the moment, they often lead to memorable stories.

INVESTING VS SPENDING IN MEMORIES.

We understand what it means when it comes to prepare a wedding, an anniversary, a birthday, a proposal……. everything adds, in terms of money, we may feel it is a never-ending snowball just rolling and rolling with no stop.

Nevertheless we try to show our clients the value that comes with their investment. It is not just a Flash Mob or just a Wedding dance, it is not just a show….. it is a WOW moment that will remain as an outstanding memory in bold, for the people who were fortunate to experience it, it will remain as a clear brief blissful moment of that experience.

We live in a world full of options. Want a new laptop? Good luck sorting through the thousands of varieties on the market. Want a pint of ice cream? Congrats, you’ve got 100 options just at one store!

Even if you spend HOURS researching and comparing products, it’s easy to second guess if you made the right choice. But experiences are harder to compare. And as a result, you’re less likely to regret them.

After all, that surprise you planned for your special one seemed like the perfect choice when the alternative was sitting at home doing nothing, or just saying it in the most effortless way.

These types of moments make up the best things in life.

STILL NOT CONVINCED? GIVE THIS “ COLLECT MOMENTS NOT THINGS” EXCERCISE A TRY:

Think about one material thing you bought recently because you thought it would make you happier — such as a new car, a piece of jewelry, or a new gadget.
Now think of one experience you purchased recently, such as a vacation, a concert, or a unique dining experience.

Which purchase made you happier?

For most people, reflecting on past experiential purchases puts you in a better mood than reflecting on past material purchases. Even if you spent just a few bucks on an experience, it can give you more satisfaction than if you bought a material item of the same value.

Of course it is a personal decision, and we are not saying that saving for “the”house, or administrating your financial resources is not good, but when it comes to creating experiences, even if it is a 2-3 mins song, even if it is out of your budget, or even if you felt it will take you forever to learn how to dance for that just “one dance”, I am telling you. IT IS WORTH IT. YOU AND WHOEVER YOU CHOOSE TO SHARE IT WITH WILL KEEP IT IN A SAFE “MAGIC MUSICAL BOX OF MEMORIES” FOREVER.

So please, whatever you have in mind, let us try to co-create with you, let us brainstorm your next special moment. We will come up with ideas you did not even think of and we will find a way to line it up with your vision and your budget and make it a WOW.
