My colleague asked me a question "Are Singaporean women demanding in terms of material things?" My reply was "It depends on what we want in life. If material things gives you satisfaction and its your goal in life, you will sure seek these things."
It felt like the answer was more for me. "What do I want in life?" Do I merely just want to perform well at work, have constant pay increment & fat bonus, be able to buy all the beautiful clothes, bags and accessories etc.?
I have past the shopaholic habit although I'm still fond of fashion. I find it meaningless when we go from 1 trend to another, wanting to get the stuff which are in-season as we throw the stuff which are out-season at one side. Why chase the trend? On one hand, its about retail therapy but whats on the other hand?
Every morning as I looked into my warddrobe to decide what to wear for the day, I was reminded on how fortunate I am. At the same time, I was also reminded how abundant was my wardrobe. I thought to myself "How can one person ever get to wear so many things?"
I got to understand that material things are not what I seek or find comfort in. Its in God. Nevertheless, its through fashion that we inspire, influence and impact lives. Dont seek the glamour of fashion but the impact it can make. Realise that impact and take advantage of it.
So how can I use it? And back to the topic, what do I want in life?
Lord, can You help answer this question?
