In a time of economic uncertainty, people tend to tighten their purse strings, only purchasing what&#8217;s needed.  What&#8217;s great about that is most people in our society don&#8217;t buy what they need, they buy what they want.  Don&#8217;t believe me?  That&#8217;s fine.  May I ask you a question?

How many people do you know who drive expensive, luxurious SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade ($50,000)?  I humbly submit to you that they didn&#8217;t &#8220;need&#8221; that expensive of an automobile, they wanted it.  They wanted the feelings of luxury, power, accomplishment, and uniqueness that come from driving such a wonderfully made vehicle.  However, I also submit to you that they give themselves the permission to feel that way after buying that automobile, when in actuality they could&#8217;ve decided to feel those emotions without the price tag.

What that means is, we have been conditioned by advertisers to believe that in order to feel a certain way, we have to buy their clients&#8217; clothes, cars, and jewelry.  Is there anything wrong with that?  You&#8217;ll have to answer that question.  I simply wanted to shed some light on the fact that you can feel anyway you want, when you want, and without drugs. lol

Am I suggesting that you stop buying what you want, and only buy what you need?  Absolutely not!  However, I am advising you to decide to feel good now, whether you have what you want or not.  It&#8217;s your choice.  Isn&#8217;t it?
With your success in mind,
Ron
