Use What You Have (You're Richer Than You Think)!
Manage episode 487713337 series 3327267
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to buy more, upgrade more, and have more? This episode challenges the consumption mindset that dominates our culture and offers a refreshing alternative: finding joy in what you already possess.
We dive deep into the art of rediscovery – those forgotten books on your shelf, clothes pushed to the back of your closet, online courses you paid for but never completed, and even ingredients languishing in your pantry. Each represents not just a possession, but an opportunity for joy that requires no additional spending.
The concept might sound simple, but it represents a profound shift in thinking. When we purchase things only to let them gather dust, we violate what I call "the law of use" – nothing is created merely to provide a temporary dopamine hit at the point of purchase. By redirecting our attention from acquisition to appreciation, we can find immediate satisfaction while honoring our past choices.
🔥 Because it's my birthday, I'm inviting you to join Self Coaching Society, my inner circle, for the WHOLE of 2026 for just $297. Lock me in as your life coach for just $297 for a WHOLE YEAR here. 🔥
