Why are we obsessed with materialistic things?


Over the past couple of months I have become ever increasingly aware that people don't feel complete without the newest something, whether it is the new iphone 5 or the new season dress. I can not say that I am not guilty of this myself, but who can blame me? We are constantly bombarded with advertisements that these are the things we need or that our life won't be complete without it. We are also constant influenced by our friends and family that because they look good or feel better than we do that we also need this thing to be happy. We are willing to waste thousands of pounds a year for what? So that we can feel good about ourselves for a moment but then have to buy something just as meaning less to feel the void we need to 'belong'. So I challenge you my readers for this month not to impulse buy or get anything unless it will be an absolute asset to your life. I am not saying this will be easy or even achievable but I am going to try myself to fill the void with the little thing and not the things that will make you feel 'cool' or 'accepted'. Just be you because you are amazing!
 
Love as always
