Should we think about things and worldly affairs, all the time or, it is better to relax, do what we need to do, and leave the result to the destiny. Usually, we waste time in planning about our future and doing nothing at the moment. We spend a considerable amount of time to comfort our physical needs and too little upon our spiritual needs. We think materialistic things will provide us real comfort and peace. In fact, they are meant to give us peace and happiness provided we are already happy and in a good mood. It is a cruel fact that we could be distressed and anxious while lying in our luxurious bed! We cant get enough food and feel right if we are not in total peace. Therefore, our all physical needs are essential to be fulfilled if our basic human needs are already fulfilled. A man who is hungry, sleepless(due to some anxiety and stress), and fearful could never enjoy the diamond glass, bed of roses or a grand house to live in. At first, we need to fulfill our basic needs till we are satisfied and in peace in our tiny life. Then we could think about buying some add-ons. Though some add-ons are necessary these days, for example, mobiles, computers, and TVs. Think about a man who is sick – would he enjoy the tv, computer or mobile as much as he could being a healthy one. No. so the health is the first wealth one could wish for in time of sickness. Likewise sleep is the best medicine. If one cannot sleep due to some stress, he or she would need some therapy or some help to feel better rather than a comfortable bed or couch. After getting peace of mind, he could enhance his sleep time by having a warm bed or a cozy mattress. Similarly, think about a woman who needs to become a mother. She is in dire need of that. Should she be comfortable if you provide her with a great job and a huge amount to spend on her! She would never be happy with all of this stuff unless she becomes the mother of one at least! Human beings are like that. We all need basic things to some level; after that, we can struggle for more items. When one has a room to live in, food to eat, a bed to sleep, job to work, relationships to become social, and friends to talk; then life becomes less miserable, and one can think of other add-ons.
Keeping above in view, we can say that all human needs that marketers are trying to exploit by their lavishly wordings are not serving their purpose. The best quality of the home is not essential to make us truly happy, rather the quality of relationship we hold is much more important. The quality of health is much more important than the quality of make-up we are looking for to impress others. Similarly, the love, peace, and mental well-being are true gifts of God and much better than millions in banks with constant torture, stress, anxiety, and depression. No doubt, we could enjoy both the freedom of choice and the harmony of love along with the tranquility of peace at the same time if we are very much blessed and honored.

Things look beautiful in shops!
Have you ever noticed things look more beautiful in shops than viewing them at home after having a purchase?
Have you ever found someone more attractive at a distance than sitting beside him/her and have a wee chat?
Have you ever thought about the girls you adore, would become little less attractive after getting married to you (or vice versa)?
Given the fact that things lose their attraction when we find them closer and closer day by day. By nature, we cannot focus on the same object for the whole of life. We keep on changing our priorities and shifting our attention as per our needs and requirements. This is very much aligned with our innate characteristics by birth. However, there could be some exceptions in this regard too.
Now, before going for a shopping, could you imagine you have already done it. If so, then what are your feelings? If you cannot imagine, what are your feelings after having a purchase? What are your feelings after spending some time with your favorite thing? What are your feelings after a month of purchasing your favorite thing? You must have forgotten what were your feelings when you purchased something you used to fancy. So this is a continuous loop of wishing, feeling happy, and then wishing again for something else.
What about having a date with someone you love the most? Do you feel a lack in your relationship after spending some time together? If yes, you are taking people like things with whom you will be used to. If yes, then you should be very careful in selecting them for a relationship, as you get bored easily, even with humans.
People are not, like things- they grow in terms of age, experiences, knowledge, attitudes, emotions, and the list is never ending. So we never get used to and look for another. However, it is worth considering that we need to improve our relationships for not being sick to each other. The more areas of mutual interest, we explore among our relationships, the better it is for us. Otherwise, things will start deteriorating and get stuck.
Nature has protected us from being stuck in a relationship through a cool process of parenting and upbringing the children. After becoming parents, couples share many things together – thus moving forward together while focusing on the same object (e.g. Children). With children, we grow together and never get bored!
Nowadays, marketers are exploiting our emotions very wisely in terms of upgrading the software, products and attractions. We purchase them and upgrade them- thus are less likely to get a feeling like stuck. Things keep on changing, and we are never completely used to them. Things that cannot be upgraded; usually lose their attraction very soon.
To conclude, we need to upgrade things (traits) in us to survive in the market through various strategies like:
- Learning new things/ fields
- Having new experiences
- Meeting new people
- Visiting new places
- Creating new horizons
When we stop doing upgrading, we are stuck. We are used to ourselves first and then with others. Therefore, to get a long, healthy life, it is very important to continue with the change outside and inside. It is something we all are doing unconsciously with the help of evolutionary laws; it is something we need to improve too through effort and hard work.
Brands Impact On Self-Esteem
As a mortal human being, we just cannot deny the importance of products we use in our daily life. I am a fan of relationship science and its related benefits, but for this time, I want to highlight the benefits of the tangible items around us. As we use them often, they are closest to us, sometimes closer to human beings around us. For most of the time, we are living with those items, things, or products and we seldom recognize their utility and company consciously or unconsciously.
Nowadays, many companies are modifying their logos and labeling their products in terms of emotional benefits such as a good friend, a nice fellow, the real company or so. They have recognized the fact that products give us time to share with, to deal with, to spend some time with and to enjoy with them. We sometimes only need that product around us. For example, many of us just cannot live without their Laptops, Mobile phones, Cameras, Tablets, Mp3s, LCD TVs, etc. They greatly depend on these items and cannot think of living without them!
To elaborate the concept, one can say that some products even complete our sense of self. They are a unique part of us. When we ignore them, we lack something. They can boost our self-esteem and can motivate us towards higher goals. For the men these products could carry another name for their self-esteem like a luxurious car, a powerful motorbike, or a stylish bicycle. For the women, such products might include a luxurious lipstick, a charming perfume, a glamorous haircut, or branded shoes. Women can feel better, high, positive, happy, satisfied and esteemed in the company of such products.
Arguably, we cannot afford all so we need to think about it what to choose and what to leave for future. The products we love from the core of the heart must be bought at our earliest opportunity; they will provide us with a great amount of self-esteem, confidence, balance, and fuel to demand happiness. The products we cannot afford must be revolving around charity shops or online offers. One should not ignore them if they are going to give him/her the real sense of pleasure and comfort.
Brand names are not fake indeed. When we choose the brand we like, we respond to our inner self and we feel good in return. When we ignore our choice and go for the low price, we leave our true instinct and go for a little regret. However, it does not mean that you spoil your budget and go for the brand names only. I mean to say that the brand you love, the brand you miss, and the brand you adore, you should not leave it at all to save a penny or so.
To conclude, leaving aside the financial limitations, we have plenty of items to choose from. For most of the time, we can go for the ordinary name and go to our favorite item at the same price or at a similar price range. When you encounter such a comparison in your heart, go for the favorite one. You will not only buy it, rather love to consume it, like to be with it, and it will boost your mood towards something new, creative and genious.
