"Life is short: break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret what makes you laugh." - Mark Twain
True luxury is not new lipstick, fancy restaurants, expensive jewelry or high heels.
True luxury is living the way you want. In comfortable boots and a lipstick color you like or no makeup at all. To eat the food you love, to be with someone who makes you feel safe and warm, to be together out of love, not out of a sense of duty. To learn to discard the unnecessary, what is outdated and worn out, but to keep what you love.
A luxurious life is not because you deserve it, but because this thing is worth you. A shirt that is so comfortable to sleep in. Baking a cake according to your mother's recipe. A kiss from a loved one. Reading an interesting book. Watching good movies. Listening to your favorite song. Living in a clean apartment. Enjoying the life you chose for yourself.
True luxury is living the way you want.Living a life of luxury doesn't mean you're resentful when things don't go your way. The jeans will shrink. Socks tear. The dough may not rise. Your friends don't want to watch your favorite movie. A loved one can leave you. You may not get promoted at work. Anything can happen. If you fail at something, it does not affect your worth in any way. It just means that things aren't going the way I'd like right now.
A luxurious life means choice. Sew torn socks or buy new ones. Discard the cake and order cookies, or try to bake another cake. Watch a movie alone or go out for coffee with friends. Go and indulge, or fight. Find a new job or review your goals and set new ones.
A luxurious life is living by your own rules. Pursue your goals. Don't make excuses for your decisions, dreams and interests.
Say:“This is not good for me!” and let it go. Then say to yourself: “I can do it!” and make your dreams and goals come true!
