Do you have clothes in your closet that still has the tags on ? Or do you have have so much clothes, yet have nothing to wear still?
I bet there are some clothes in your closet that you’re either saving for a special occasion or you probably forgot about it. One funny thing is that the special occasion never comes because some of us spend the whole week working and when the time comes for us to go out and wear that special dress, we’d rather rest and put our feet up, lol.
The amount of time we spend to decide what we’re going to wear can be used to do other productive things in life. It seems like we have no problem gathering stuff but we have a huge problem using them.
I realised that i end up repeating a certain percentage of my clothes and never wear a large percentage which makes me ask myself, then why do i buy more?
So here is the the jackpot question, WHY DO WE GATHER SO MUCH?
1 – It’s expensive – I get this and i don’t get this. Are we not good enough to use what we spend a lot of money on, on ourselves? Or did we just get it to give ourselves a pat on the back and say ‘well done for spending that much’.
2 -It’s a gift – errm so? I just want you to know that this gift is now yours. You either use it, give it away or throw it away if it doesn’t fit, you don’t like it or there’s no space for it. I understand the sentimental attachment of gift but remember that whoever gave it to you has no control over how it’s used okay? So use it, share it, give it away or donate to a charity.
3 – I might need it after i throw it away – yea yea yea. It’s happened to me several times and i don’t care anymore. Imagine it’s has been sitting in the corner all these while and after i got rid of it then i realised i need. Well, i’ll live.
I’ve come to realise that the time is now and tomorrow is not promised. Use your stuff now, open your best wine now as everyday is a special moment. I’m not saying be wrecless or squander. I’m saying don’t just keep things and wait for the right moment because i’ll ask you, when is the right moment to feel good and be happy? I will tell you today.
So don’t gather stuff you don’t plan on using, create some space, organise your stuff enjoy yourself and be happy.
Till next time
