Consumerism...True happiness comes from within

Just a silly little thought, or is it enlightenment?

If true happiness comes from within, does it also come from without?

I often think of all the things I have, and all the things I'd like to have, a big screen TV, a new car, a nice house...........The list is too long to include here.

I think I finally know why happiness comes from within, and without.

I don't need a new car to impress my neighbours, actually, I drive a 1992 model car which was formerly a write-off (wreck) and I spent 6 months panel beating and spray painting, and replacing damaged mechanical components. It doesn't look like a new car, but has low mileage and goes great. On top of that, I'm proud of what I achieved with little experience and lots of determination, and for a wreck I purchased for $650, it was valued at around $3500 when I had completed the repairs.

I don't need a big screen TV. Sure, the movies would look a little nicer on the bigger screen, but it won't make me happy as such.

I don't need the latest notebook, mobile phone, or other gadgets to impress others, who cares what others think. What I have I own, no credit card debt, and it serves it purpose.
Often, people will ask me what features my mobile phone has, and I tell them it has a really neat function where I can press some buttons and talk to someone. What else is really needed.

I remember when mobile phones first came out, and people would sit in MacDonald's and places like that where there was a bit of a crowd, and pick up their phones and be doing mega business deals at full vocal volume so everyone knew they were a big-shot. One funny moment, this idiot in the process of impressing other diners got quite a rude shock when his phone rang in the middle of his mega deal. Funny for everyone but him, he looked like such a tosser (pardon the expression).

A nice house?
Sure, I live in government housing, and it's nothing like nice, but I have previously lived on the street, and it's great to know I have somewhere for my son and I to call home. I would however love a garage to do some work in.

Always thinking about all the great new items available, if only I had the cash, it only makes me depressed, so I've decided I'm actually happier without, who cares what others have. Besides, if anyone broke into my house, they would probably feel sorry for me with all my old furniture and equipment and leave some cash!

Whenever I think about that which I don't have, and can't afford, I get upset, so my final decision is, Who needs it, I'm happy with what I have!

I Win!

  • What do you need to be happy?

    Your blessings and love for whatever I am doing. :)

    Respect to you Leo, my state of the mind is here aligned with yours.
    With this setting we all can bow negative HATE energy into positive LOVE energy.

    Only the unloved hate. ;)

  • Happiness Leo, Is when you have successfully fooled yourself into thinking that you dont want what you dont have.

    Can you visualise brother? Can you see yourself with these things that you would like? If you can see it in your mind you can find a way to make it happen. You must believe and you must take physical steps at times to re create physical situations.At some stage you will go beyond belief and into a state of knowing how to have what you can see within your mind. It will become plain to you,but you must accept the possibility of change and embrace the thought till the physical actions required to change the reality you are now experiencing become clear to you.

    There is something you want.....I can tell. Focus upon it. Draw the energy of a potential probable reality into your energy and conciousness.

    Embrace the thought and fulfill your desires. There is a way. If you become passionate enough about creating something,a million ideas will come to you about how to bring it about.
