When we talk about luxury we mostly imagine about high end and top class products. Not just product but also we think of great and top quality service. First of all before moving to the main topic just think that why we are so much attracted to luxuries? Is there any major reason behind it?
For you it might be due to the word “luxury” itself. When we hear luxury we are so much curious to know what exactly it is. When we hear those brand names we quickly get attracted to them. This is a common human mindset and of course if we think in terms of quality, branded products can have that advantage.
But there are also some local products which have same quality but they are never tagged as luxury. In this fast pacing world we have come across a lot of changes in our preference and priorities. Most of the time we move along with the trend. Whatever fashionable products enter the market, we choose them depending on how the trend is working.
You might have experienced this that when you go to buy something for yourself, you always ask your colleagues or a close person to judge them. Isn’t it? Not only that but we choose those products which we have seen others using them. We might regret from trying something which is unknown or have cheap looks. We will never try such kind of products because they don’t hold any brand value in the market.
BUY LUXURIES ONLY IF IT’S PROVIDING VALUE ON YOUR MONEY
This statement might be confusing, right? But it’s very easy to understand. It’s not like we shouldn’t buy luxuries at all. There are so many products in the market itself which are produced using cheapest materials. And these products can be very dangerous to our health.
They seem to be very much attractive from the outside but when we start experiencing them we can feel discomfort. One important advantage of luxurious products is that it can have longer life span and they are created using high quality raw materials.
It’s not always necessary that luxuries will provide you with comfortable life but yes majority of them are created with utmost attention. We should buy luxuries thinking it as quality and longer shelf life products. Of course they are expensive but it should cover up the value of money spent on them.
That’s where you will see yourself mature from those who buy luxuries to showcase their richness. Again all of this is dependent on the way you perceive them. If you are buying apple products to make yourself feel good then you won’t ever feel good without them. Apple has name in the market because of their high quality products.
But in name of their quality we define ourselves as worthy. You might have seen so many people click mirror selfies just to showcase the brand logo. See it will make you feel worthy temporarily but afterwards you will start feeling empty.
PUT YOUR EGO ASIDE AND FOCUS ON THINGS THAT PROVIDE VALUE
I mean this is very simple to understand, but in practicality it is the toughest part to do. Many people suffer through negativity in life just because of their unhealthy ego. Buying too many luxuries could be one of the way to fulfil their ego.
Poor easily get attracted to money since they struggle for it. Now just imagine you are already enough rich in your area that other people get inspired from you. They try to take suggestions from you to build fortune for themselves.
But instead you hold your ego since they are not able to match your status level. We humans all are same yet there are very few rare people who care about others and share whatever they have. This is because they never hold an ego by comparing materialistic happiness.
Moreover they find themselves fulfilled by sharing and caring. Though money is important for them but at the same time their personal values hold more significance in their life. That is why they always flourish in their life without actually showing anyone about their success. So the whole idea is that whatever you have in the form of materialistic happiness should remain only as part of your need.
Never try to create jealousy and guilt among others by showcasing your fortune. This is because there are also millions of individuals above you who are so much rich that you can’t even stand a chance to compare yourself with them.
So always be humble with others no matter how much poor they are. Again remember that your richness will be defined by the way you behave socially with others. That is why you should never think of buying luxuries as a status or symbol of your richness.
