The more thankful you are, the more happy you will be. Often times we have a hard time being thankful, because we never give ourselves anything. Today for the first time I bought a TV for myself, and it was very exciting. It is quite ironic that my ex thought I was super spendthrift with money, but I actually have a very hard time spending money on myself. A year ago I bought two TV's for a friend. I have no problem spending money on other people, but when it comes to myself, I am always hesitant. With every kind of clothing I have gotten throughout my life I think for a good long while, "Do I really need this?"
But if you never spoil yourself, you will feel ungrateful and depressed a lot more. Of course you can also feel depressed if you spoil yourself too much, because then you feel guilty for spending to much. It is key to find that balance. Buy yourself some things but not everything. Like today I got a 32 inch TV. I really wanted a 43 inch one, but God was telling me a 32 inch one is all I need. When you want to buy something, listen to what God is saying to you. Then you won't regret what you buy. :) God bless!
