what if...
Have you ever wondered what if this had happened instead of this? Maybe someone had something bad happen to them, or you have something good happen to you that turned out that it wasn't so good after all.
What if you could create a world for yourself or just tweak a few things about our current one. What would you want to change and what would you want to stay the same? Ask yourself this question and really have fun thinking!
What if there was no designer clothing and nothing expensive. What if everyone made the same amount per year? There would be a LOT fewer people yearning to be like the rich because there would be no rich. The world would all make the same amount per year but they would get to choose how they spent it and how much they saved or how much they were willing to get in debt. We would still have the same problem...
You wouldn't be envying the nice sports car in your neighbor's driveway because they got a new job that pays more. You wouldn't see someone walking around with a pair of Jimmy Choo's and think "if I only had more money I could get those!" because there would be no designer shops. If you reread what I just wrote I said "If" several times or if you just soaked all that "what if" knowledge and my brain thinking. IF all of this were to happen the world would be different. You can think of the world different from what it is but it will still be the same. If you keep on dreaming of you being able to get luxurious things and live in a nice house or have multiple houses, why do you want all that? Do you want to live life to the fullest? Or do you want to make people jealous? If you can figure out which one it is for each item or "thing" that you want to purchase you will know if you really truly want it or if you want it to make other people want it (like someone may have done to you if that is how you came across the item). Another good question to ask yourself is "If I was the last person in the world would I still want and enjoy this item?".
If the answer is yes then get it or start saving up for it and if the answer is no move on and look at all that you have but regardless appreciate what you have and not what you could have if you had this or that. Think of all the problems that we would avoid, how new problems would turn up and how everyone would feel I little bit more secure and a lot less insecure. When you imagine the world as a different place you can also think of what you can do to make the world change you don't have to adapt to the world, you can change it!
