TREAT YOURSELF BETTER

In a society that increasingly wants to have it's cake and eat it now, we are told daily that you can 'have it all' because 'you deserve it'. 

Meanwhile back in the real world, most of us live in, jetting off to Paris for the weekend is neither practical (7 hour flights each way) nor logical (who pays for this) thing for most of us. 

Therefore, most weekends, most of us are planning to do our laundry and many other household chores as usual. Meanwhile, most days we have a, sometimes dreaded, routine to follow. Only occasionally, do we get to plan for fun or holidays or time off.

I think however, that because so much of our time and our life are taken over by work and our obligations to others, it is important for each of us to dream a little dream of something we, personally, would love to do. This Wish List is important because it enables us to have a Dream or goal in mind, especially when we are loaded down by our obligations and responsibilities.

Meanwhile, as important as it is for each of us to have a Wish List of big plans and dreams, I suggest also, that each of us also make some time and put aside a little mad money for small indulgences which can make our daily/regular lives a little more fun.

Anyone, indulging in a favourite, or especially a new treat, knows what I mean. It is not quantity either. One incredible delicious and/or decadent treat is as good as a dozen so-so ones.

Putting aside a little time and money for the times when something special presents itself, can work wonders in holding you over till the big dreams can be realized.

Meanwhile, you and everyone around you will be glad to see that person who had a little treat. The good feelings and goodwill we all feel then are passed on cheerfully to everyone we meet and meanwhile also carry us through the rest of our otherwise routine obligations.
