“The going back to basics and to make-do is not a bad thing. It will rid us eventually of this throw away society and return us to the better days where Man really did appreciate all that he had.
“Most of us have too much. Our attics are full of surplus things we have gathered over the years. To spend less is really to have more and then peace of mind is restored even to those who are badly off, who waste more than they realise.
“Everything must be about balance. Have what you need and not what you want. We are all easily influenced by advertising and their insatiable need to get us to buy more than is necessary.
“Until we as a nation get a grip of not ‘want-want’ all the time, but to really see that we have enough, then peace of mind will eventually be restored to our hearts and minds.
“We really can all make-do. When we really are in need, the window of opportunity is shown and out of the blue the right thing at a price we can afford is offered to us allowing us to have what we need without crippling us financially.
“Help is always at hand and the Higher Power sees to all your needs, but not always to what you want.
“So start to realise all that you have already and before you actually throw it away, see if a less fortunate person might require it and so it is passed on with love and will always be appreciated by the other.
“When there is too much, nothing is really ever appreciated. Start to adjust your lives in the right way and happiness will automatically follow.”
