Oh lord, you know you found IT when your heart starts racing, you smile without even knowing, and nothing else matters other than them. YES, the pair of shoes that are sitting on the display staring at you. Shoes! Shoes! Shoes are my love and passion, aside from the people that I love, shoes are my next best thing in life. I don’t think there is anyone who would argue with me that we just can’t have enough shoes! They are my weakness… Aren’t they yours too? Espically when the pair is beyond adorable and hard to not have. Oh my my, shoes are every girl’s and guy’s (believe it or not, it is true) best friends forever (BFFs)!!!
I always try to hold myself from walking into a shoe deparment because I know that I can’t resist them. The shine, the look, the color, the texture, the heel, the extra touch, the warm feeling inside, the MUST HAVE idea in your head, the details, the fit, the SHOE it self just makes you want it because you want it. Oh we are trapped into shoe heaven. The excitment of being surrounded by hundreds of shoes calling you to try them on, the excitment of trying them on giving you the feeling of joy and satisfation, the passion building up for that pair, and next you are at the register buying them. Love and joy is all you think about when you are walking out of the store, coming home trying them on and on, telling your best friends about them, and making them a speical place in your closet. Looking at them everyday and saying hi my new best friend! =D.
OMG but wait, you walked into another shoe department a month later, and you are lost in the shoes again… there it is, sitting on the table waiting for you to try them on and take them home with you. You ask for your size, you try them on, and oh they are adorable. You just feel like you own the world in them. Next you are at the register buying them. Coming home, trying them on and on, making a speical room for them in your closet, and looking at them everyday and saying Oooo I can’t wait to wear you!
But wait… you just saw these must have pair, OMG how can you not get these. YOU HAVE FALLEN IN THE TRAP! STOP. Do you really need a new pair everytime the shoes make you feeling wonderful? NO. Trust me, I was worse. Oh yes, I do fall in their beauty trap; however, I have taught my self to ask this question… “DO YOU NEED THEM OR WANT THEM?” I honestly ask myself that question everytime I make a purchase. The difference between Need and Want: Need is something that is necessary to have and a Want is the desire to needing them. Difficult concept to some, but think about a little.
NEED=NECESSARY… WANT=DESIRE
I will leave you now to think about the NEED and the WANT theory, and make sure you understand it because that is how I have saved myself from the Shoe Trap.
The lesson here is to not be blinded by the beauty of the shoes. Think with your mind, not heart.
Stay Fashionable with
