I do not allow what I do not have to bother me in anyway, because immediately I give room to this kind of emotions, it simply means I have just destroy my minimalist lifestyle, the way we think is what we will be seeing doing, I am always watchful of my character because that which I do is a predisposition of my behavior.
My friend who stay in the city came back home with an iPhone 13 pro max, he said, he bought it using a far sum of money, which I do not think I could have buy it if I were him, because I sense it that spending too much on phone since I have others things to used money for is a thing I shouldn't consider this time, I was happy he bought it, he show it to me how beautiful it is and truthfully, it is the first time I have touch the phone with my bare hands, I mostly see people using it but I was never too close to feel it for myself, since me and the people who used it has no connection.
When my friend came around with his phone, it was a nice thing that i could touch it, I know I will be glad to have a phone like that but I never allow it to be like a problem to me, I rather keep cool and see light in the one I am using.
I have realized that I have others things in my life which I needs to used money to settled, that's why I keep calm, I have seen people who eagerly want something so bad becuase they just want to feel among, that is, when he sees his peers do something, he would want to do the same, forgetting that people are not the same and all fingers are not equal, he would now went ahead and hit a bad road just because he want the things his friends has, then will get into a terrible situation and at times end up in jail, these peoples who do this has forgetting where they came from, it is true that we all came from different families background, then our connections and behavior are not the same.
My mother once told me, to always remember where I come from, she told me this on the day i was visited a friend in the city, she looks me in the eyes and said: "you are a man, I want you to always remember where you come from and promise never to do anything to bring shame to this family"
To my loving mind, I am always myself, I do not allow what I see somewhere, maybe own by people or friends to make me loose my path, I hold my ground so strong and I am okay with the things I have, I do not see the things I have as the source of my happiness but I see it that, as times goes on, I will be able to get more for myself, this is the methods I used to maintain minimalism in all I do.
"Nothing in life that would last forever" whenever I want to freak out, I would remember this few phrase, to better encourage myself that the best is yet to come and with time, I will still reach my height to be who I want to be in life because minimalist lifestyle help in achieving ones success.
