What are the ‘essential fashion accessories‘ that we all need? Needed that is – to manifest the happiness, inner peace, and contentment that we all desire in our daily living!
These are the essential fashion accessories required:
First – an open and generous heart!
Second – a spontaneous smile!
Third – eyes that sparkle!
These three ‘essential fashion accessories‘ are not the traditional fashion accessories we are used to hearing about. However, they ARE the accessories that you require to be happy, at peace, and content with your life. Above all, if you have these three essential fashion accessories, you are rich!
Why just these fashion accessories??
Yes, that is me, the author of this Blog in the picture. I am with my darling wife Liz at a magnificent beach. And the beach is Cable Beach in northern Western Australia. My wife is the quintessential example of one who has these three vital fashion accessories. Others will tell that she has an open and generous heart, a spontaneous smile, and eyes that sparkle! Above all, we need to be aware that these essential fashion accessories are free of charge and available to every one of us! In addition, they are not aligned with the traditional fashion accessories we have been programmed/influenced to adopt! And these three essential fashion accessories are NOT related to how many fans or followers you have on your social media sites! In other words, they are not external to you; they reside deep ‘within’ you.
Conditioned, Programmed, Controlled??
We must be aware that we are conditioned, programmed, controlled if we like, by the media, by marketing, by so-called ‘influencers’ and by peer pressure. The goal of selling products disrupts the three essential fashion accessories I am describing here. Marketing of most products concerning fashion is all about how we look – on the outside! It is about how we appear to be. Persuading us that we will be happy, peaceful, and content – if we buy this or that product.
In reality, this is what is often referred to as – borrowed happiness. In other words, this emotion we feel only lasts for a few weeks or a few months, and then it dissipates. In other words, the emotion experienced at the time of purchase – fades away. Therefore, with such an attitude we need to purchase some alternative fashion accessories to again feel that same emotional ‘buzz.’ After all, this is the emotional joy that comes from constantly purchasing something new.
