Why building Self Confidence on Material Possessions is out of Fashion.

Sometimes you see the world through material possessions – the things that you have.

Remember, you live a material world where those who have teaches us that “he who dies with most toys wins.” You feel as if you were suppose to have the fastest car, the best clothes, latest smart phone, an attractive hair style, much money, a great family and many other things that apparently bring happiness.

Have you seen anyone who is very happy because of his or her possessions?

Possessions come in the form of accomplishments, such as head-cheer leader, star of the play, valedictorian, student body officer, editor in chief and more.

 

There’s nothing wrong with achieving success and enjoying your thing, but material things should never become the center of your life. In the end, they have no lasting value.

Your confidence needs to come from within, not from without. It should come from the quality of your heart, not form the quantity of things you own. After all, he who acquires the most toys still die at the end taking nothing along.

The possessions of most deceased wealthy people either get rot or mismanaged, yet many still do not learn. I am writing this article to help you reflect a bit…

I knew a girl who had the most beautiful and expensive ward-rope I’ve ever seen. She never wore the same outfit twice, I started to notice that she had a bad case of “elevator eyes.” It seemed that whenever she talked to another girl, she’d eye her from head to foot to see if her outfit was as nice as her own. This usually gave her superiority complex. Are you different?

Her self-confidence depended on her owning material things like dresses. It did not come from her own personality, smarts or kindness. In short, it did not come from within… it came from outside.

Now, where do you get your own self confidence? From possessions like money, houses, wives, children, husband, titles, certificates, family background, academic status? If you depend on any of these, know that you will always suffer from superiority complex. You are not the cause! It is simply because human wants are unlimited.

To conclude, let true love for self and respect of others come from within. Your things or possession will one day fade out or completely go away, but you will remain who you are. Remember, if who you are is what you have, and what you have is lost, then who are you? Take some time and reflect over this.

This means once the material thing you depend on for your self confidence is lost, self confidence is lost. Inferiority complex becomes your new order, and medium of operation. You feel lighter than a dry leaf. Frustration quietly drives in like a snail.

I will propose you remain grateful for who you are and put trust in your creator and not on material things. It is regrettable that some people go to the extent of killing others because of things they never knew the origin. Things they themselves will never take any along at the end. What a shame!

Self- confidence should come from within. Think of yourself as someone who was created for a purpose. Find out your interests and focus on. Build strong relationships. Do the things you enjoy … things you will do even for free without getting tired or discouraged. This is how you build self-confidence.

Never let material possessions be the reason for feeling confident.
