money CAN buy you happiness.
stuff DOES make you happy.
the problem is there is a difference between happiness and self esteem.
money can't buy self esteem.
stuff doesn't make you feel better about yourself. you just feel better about the stuff you own.
we have to draw a distinction between happy with what you own and happy with who you are.
self esteem comes entirely from within.
self esteem allows you to be happy with yourself regardless of what you do or don't own.
when you have healthy self esteem, you are still happy with yourself
even when things break
or go out of style
or get lost
or lose their appeal.
we spend so much time chasing happiness.
we should spend more time creating self esteem.
