I had a friend, Asha, in #school. She was a good teacher, but was never # content with whatever she had in life.
Her husband, Mr. Goyal, was a successful businessman, and an abundance of money and wealth surrounded her. Asha lacked peace, not money.
I was astounded by the way Asha spent money in the #market. She was a copycat. She would buy things that her #relatives had, #purchased costly dresses she saw her college friend wearing on Facebook. She had no idea whether those dresses suited her or not. She #desired the same style crockery in her kitchen. She already had plenty at #home.
She bought all the stuff #without thinking.
She invited me to her house I saw overflowing #cupboards filled with beautiful yet seemingly #useless things.
She will say, "Madam, my day starts #accumulating things here and there in the house and ends by arranging them in cupboards. "
She could never look at #horizons beyond her material acquisitions attitude. She never believed in experience and sense of satisfaction, and peace. She was restless all the time. Disturbed and anxious, too.
I requested her not to be so materialistic. I suggested she spend time and money on her health programs. I also suggested she be outgoing and get involved in well well-being of #orphan children.
I am so happy she agreed to my #suggestions. Now Madam Asha is a very popular and #respected teacher of our school. She is ready to render helping #hands to the needy. Asha is changed #person. I am so happy that she has learnt to spend her resources and energy in positive way. She is a calm and composed person now
