Consuming Costs???
We always think of aquiring items as “adding” to our lives, but have you ever considered the cost? Beyond the personal cost of aquistion, what are the other costs? When we “over purchase” there is an obvious strain on our pocketbooks for that temporary “thrill”. Soon if we buy items that we don’t truly need we begin to actually feel bad about that item. the thrill is gone and now we need to take care of the item, we need to store it, we need to make room for it. The party is over! When we are not taking care of it properly the item loses its ability to satisfy us. When we have too much of a certain item and can not use it we also begin to feel bad. It is difficult to feel “fullfilled” by excessive purchases, in fact at a certain point the very activity that brought you joy will make you sad. Choose carefully and thoughtfully about what you surround youself with. The “stuff” won’t bring happiness. Make room for the people and actvities you love.
