The Never Ending Race Of Acquiring Material Possessions

Whenever I notice my friends chatting about the latest mobile models in the market I wonder what’s so cool about possessing the latest mobile model? Is it about acquiring something which is a need or is it really about flaunting one’s ill- conceived misconception. Everyone, should remember that Money Shouts and wealth Whispers. I guess acquisition of a materialistic possession makes you noticeable in the society but does it brings happiness or acceptance in the society? I believe possessing something for the sake of showing off looks ridiculous.
I remember this incident which one of my friend was narrating it to me. He went to meet his school friend after over 10 years, and he was carrying this phone which he bought over 6 years back ( in just 1,100 Rs). So after noticing this outdated – unfashionable – out of style mobile phone – he commented “Oh man how would I introduce you to my friends” ( or bunch of fuc*ing cockroaches). Look at this cheapest mobile model you are carrying!!
Why people are more inclined towards acquiring materialistic possession than adapting a simple living . It’s this growing fixation for something which is adding no value to your mental peace of mind . No doubt, mobiles do have a functional value to it. But being possessed about buying the latest mobile model after every few days is absurd.
It is precisely the race to match to the standards of the society in which you live in. The false belief of feeling happy after owning an expensive “thing” is a never ending process of spending money on worthless “things” .
You will be surprised to know that the connection between your happiness and acquiring an expensive product has no connection with each other. Have you ever comprehended the concealed fact that for how long that happiness within you lasts?
Once you introspect and tell yourself that It’s “ONLY YOU” who has the power to make yourself happy; you will realize that these materialistic things won’t attract you anymore.
The issues within you will always be there until and unless you address it. One of the core aspects of leading a fulfilling life is your self esteem. If your self esteem is high then you can go out and win over the world in any given circumstances.
Try to focus on yourself and see the change within you.
