I used to be proud of the cool shit I've done, then I started to obsess over the cool things I've owned while my life became exponentially worse, even tho I owned all the cool stuff I thought I needed. Obsessing over things that can't be purchased is 10x more fulfilling than any car, house, or jet. Not saying that these things are "bad", you simply need to have a healthy view on their importance in the grand scheme of things. Many young people use these objects as motivation & I was actively posting loads of that stuff in the hopes to motivate others (& make sure they know i got it like that), but in the process, these objects moved up many ranks in my "priority list of life." I've had a few moments like in the movies where I was sitting lonely in my new penthouse cause I had issues w the wifu, or borderline crying in my new supercar cause I had anxiety after not sleeping for a week to make sure I can afford it. TLDR: nothing wrong with rewarding yourself with nice things (don't fall into the money = sad/evil trap, cause thats cope too imo) -> but try to understand asap that spending exponential money on luxurious things e.g accumulating collections of cars, watches, real estate come with a whole new set of anxiety/ headaches while the dopamine/happiness levels stagnate/drop. Spending money on your parents and people who love you unconditionally is always good, even tho there's limits to these things too, but that's a story for another day. Chase real accomplishments that need no external validation. p.s A Richard Mille watch still looks like a ben10 watch to 99% of the population, even tho you think everyone will treat you like a god for it. In reality; a healthy, disciplined, charismatic & kind person will always steal the show. Have an amazing weekend, we go again next week!
