» Help! I'm a nonmaterialistic girl in a material world!
Victoria Cerna
Posted July 9, 2012 by Victoria Cerna in Life Challenges and Loss
Hi everyone! I would like some help with a realization I have come to. Just recently I realized that I have no reaction to material things. That I’m completely indifferent to material things. Cars to me are just cars they are all the same to me. An I-phone looks nice but to me it’s just a fancy phone etc… When I go to the mall my eyes do not get all big in wonder. There is no material possession that I own that would completely devastate me to loose or even make me sad. Nor is there a material possession that makes me happy or warm or smile. I’ve started to realize that in the world we live in this is not normal. I came to this realization after I heard my dad comment on me saying that I had the mindset of a poor person. This bothered me as I’m not in the best financial situation and I do struggle. The other reason it bothered me was because I’m a strong believer in the power of the mind and the law of attraction. With this said I do want to be rich and to have money, so I can have and provide security to my family. And for the freedom and options money provides. I do not want to become so materialistic that I lose sight on the important things but I do want to be able to enjoy nice things and dream of bigger better and nicer things in my life. I’ve also concluded the reason I’ve become so non materialistic is because when I was a kid my parents got divorced we lost everything. We lived a very nice and comfortable life and my parents were well off but when they divorced we lost every material possession we owned from the private school, toys, clothes, vacations, our home everything. And from that moment on I saw that money comes and goes as well as the material possessions. We even went as far as to have to live in a shelter so I basically went from one extreme to the other. And the things that I came to value you cannot purchase. I just want some help; I need some clarity as I do not see anything wrong with wanting better things. I just want to dream again …
Thank you
Sincerely,
Nonmaterialgirl
