Sometimes we buy things, because they capture our attention, make us laugh or remind us of someone. Other times we go for functionality and satisfying our needs.
Who’s to say what’s more meaningful: a toilet brush, a vase shaped like a strawberry or a book that answers some of your biggest life questions?!
Just like beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, meaning’s in the heart of the receiver.
Buying a teddy bear for a loved one might be your way of saying, “I’m always going to be there for you.”
Similarly, purchasing art supplies, a poster for your living room or subscribing to an online course might be you delivering the message of “I trust my ability to succeed” to yourself.
Next time you are buying or receiving gifts, think about the message that comes with them – that’s where you’ll find the meaning.
