rethinking men's issues #21

Men, you have a basement, garage, attic, all of the above, full of stuff and you still aren't happy.

The problem isn't the stuff. 

You bought all the stuff thinking you could prove to yourself that you are good enough.

Prove to everyone else who doubted you that they were wrong. 

Prove to the Joneses that you can keep up.

You worked hard.

You were determined.

You were dedicated.

You persevered.

You got the stuff.

The problem is you were so laser-focused on the stuff you completely overlooked the fact that you were determined...

And dedicated...

And worked hard...

And persevered.

A laundry list of reasons to feel good about yourself. To be happy with yourself. To like yourself.

What good is all the stuff if you still don't like yourself?

Even if you never buy another piece of garage sale fodder, you have done enough to feel good about who you are and what you do.

You just have to look for it. 

You always find what you are looking for.

Are you looking for your next fancy, trendy dust collector

or are you looking for a real reason to be happy with yourself?
