We all want the best stuff right?
The best clothes, the best car, the best significant other
The best places, the best people, the best STUFF.
But is the price value all that stops us from having the stuff we want? Do we or do we not deserve to have all the best stuff? This is opinionated, so please leave a comment below to tell me what you think!
First, it’s important to realize that we all have different taste. Just because one person says something is the best thing ever, doesn’t mean that we all have to agree. Toby might like the Ferrari as his favorite car, but you might like a Lamborghini. Both of you have some money to make before considering such a huge purchase.
The question is do you deserve to have the best stuff? I would have to say yes. Yes you do. You deserve whatever will make you happy in life. You deserve the best stuff, even if it’s way over your financial head. You deserve to have whatever you want, no matter what it is.
AND I believe you can get all that stuff! It takes certain qualities and practices, but I know you can do it.
With that being said, should we be so addicted to material things? Do we need this “stuff”?
Well it really depends on what stuff we’re talking about. Maybe that super car isn’t as important as we think. I know it’s awesome, but will it actually make you feel better about your life? Many rich and powerful men will tell you, no. Material things never make us feel fulfilled. It feels nice to have new amazing things to show off, but the feeling eventually dies off and leaves us feeling unfulfilled again. So, go get that super car if that’s what you think you want out of life, just don’t expect to feel different on the inside for long.
Same goes for clothes, shoes, watches, furniture, and a whole bunch of other STUFF. It’s just material objects. Personally, I have no connection to any material stuff…
Except for my computer, and phone. It’s how I practice my craft, the craft that I love, and without it I may die. (writing)
There are a couple of things that I think we, as a nation, better yet, as a world should focus on getting in high quality. One of them is not stuff.
It’s People. We should search for amazing high quality friends and people to be around. We should always seek the smartest, funniest, nicest, most possible to help you grow people that there are. This doesn’t mean by following famous people on instagram or twitter. It means actual friends, real people that you hang out with and see often.
Our friends should be the ones pushing us to new lengths, not holding us back. We should strive to find such people to bring into our lives and brighten up our futures. The more I realize this, the more I find myself around amazing people. Lately, there’s been a ton of super smart, talented, and enriching friends that I love to hang out with.
Friends are one thing we should always look for high quality. Don’t let your friends hold you back.
Another thing to me, is food.
We should always seek high quality food.
I’m having a hard time understanding how such smart people in this world would settle for the crappiest food choices. Do you think you don’t deserve good food? Do you think it’s too expensive and hard to come by? Do you just not care? Comment below!
When I was only 14 years old, I was weighing in at over 200 pounds. I was with my friends one day and I said, I’m going to lose all this weight, and get cut. And they said, “okay Ryan.”
By the next year I lost 30 pounds, and had a six pack. My friends parents would always say, “Ryan, you got so skinny!” Since they didn’t see me as often as my friends who couldn’t tell. If you too, are trying to lose weight, I know you can do it. It’s not easy, but I know for a fact you can do it.
Since then, I’ve always seeked the best quality food, which has changed over the years. I used to search for the food with the highest protein and that was it. It’s been years and now it has completely flipped on its head.
I started eating only all organic food. My body deserves the best food, and no one can tell me otherwise. Even if money was tight because we had to buy diapers, we would not sacrifice buying non organic food. It just won’t happen. We live by that, not only for ourselves but for the local farmers, the economy, and the earth. So many other people and our beautiful earth benefit when you choose to eat organic food, plus you start to feel great.
Lately I’ve stepped it up a notch by finding an all organic juice bar and cafe, here in Easton PA. it’s called Greenmouth Juice Bar and Cafe. They get all their produce from local farms and juice it into juices that are extremely high in nutrients that your body needs. One juice a day from that place has changed my life! The feeling difference is incredible, I’ve never felt this good in my life, and I’ve always been a healthy person. I have more energy, I’m happy more often, and nothing messes with my moods. Everything is great. By the way, today is my 8th out of 10 days working in a row, and I still woke up at 5 am just so I could write and get to work by 7. I attribute a lot of my attitude, and well being to Greenmouth.
That’s why I recently started working there as a second job. I do the farmers market for them every saturday, and my wife is now a manager at their easton location. I feel great knowing that my work can directly help local farmers, and benefit the earth.
1 fresh squeezed juice a day can change anyones life. One woman that’s a regular at the store, has successfully cured cancer by drinking Greenmouth juices. I am going to try to interview her some day soon.
They also have a bunch of amazing vegan meals, that taste great. They are high in protein and always have super foods in them. A mix of their food and juices can change even the most unhealthy person’s life.
Anyway, I feel those are the two areas in our life that we should try to have quality: people and food. I’ll never say you don’t deserve to have whatever your heart desires, but why buy the best clothes when you’re not comfortable putting them on the body you have? Invest in proper food first. That’s just my thought.
What do you think about material objects? Are they necessary? Are they useless? What about people and food? Do you agree those are things we should concentrate on high quality for? What else should we look for high quality in? Comment Below!
