Do you follow the latest trends in your field? The information you observe and consume on a daily basis is a result of some trend which was pushed through marketing or was made to reach you through various filters. It need not be an online social media trend or a product you bought online. Even the ones you choose offline without using internet will be a trend product. The things you purchase are designed in ways which makes you to buy them.
There was a time when products and things were bought mainly due to utility aspect of it and nothing more. But today we are living in a world where things of no value are available in all colors, sizes & shapes to make you pay more to own them for no reason. The purpose of buying something of use is no longer a significant thing, people are running after things based on trends and in turn wasting their time, efforts on materials which serve no cause.
If you are living a happy and peaceful life, someone/something around you makes you think that you are not doing or having enough. It is you alone who will be responsible for losing the peace & happiness you have in search of something more valuable which may not exist. It is required to learn to be happy with the minimum amount of things which makes your life easier and not the other way round. Remember that there will always be a tipping point post which you will no longer be interested in any trends, realize that you had always been happy with the things you had with you!
