Are you setting a bar that is too high when it comes to needing “stuff?” Material things are necessary to a point, but when the majority of your time is spent acquiring things, take a step back.
When you focus only on the material desires you have, you leave important things out. If you find that your thoughts are more directed to working for things and you don’t take the time to maintain relationships with family and friends, people see that and feel that. Pretty soon the people in your life may feel that they don’t matter and that your choices are driven by your preference for material things over them.
If you start to see that your relationships are suffering for the desire to have more “things,” realize that “things” and “stuff” will not be there for you in an emergency. People take care of you, things cannot. If you see yourself falling into this category start making some changes.
Take more time to be with your children and the significant people in your life. You can turn this around. Don’t wait for something to happen to force a change that you need to start making now. Make a new start to be more engaged with your loved ones. They need it and so do you! “Now let’s get going!” xo Sally
