topic Do your possessions affect your self-esteem? in Community Chat https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Do-your-possessions-affect-your-self-esteem/m-p/4764#M1677 <P>Be honest. Does that designer handbag make you feel better about yourself? Or does the car you drive make you feel more important or "better" than someone who drives a less expensive model? I have to admit I used to allow myself to think that way - that was back before I grew up. <IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/glare.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.glare}" /> Funny how getting older makes you realize how silly you once were. I still remember over 20 years ago standing by my mother's hospital bed when she was dying of cancer. I looked at myself in the mirror over the sink and it dawned on me that some things are just so meaningless. And I made a promise that I would never allow myself to worry about silly things again. Just saying ladies - I love my expensive handbags, etc. as much as anyone but I hope you don't put too much importance on such things. They are, after all, just things.</P> Fri, 17 Dec 2010 17:05:29 GMT cinebee 2010-12-17T17:05:29Z Do your possessions affect your self-esteem? https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Do-your-possessions-affect-your-self-esteem/m-p/4764#M1677 <P>Be honest.
