今欲しいものを買う意味
ちょっと前にミニマリストが流行り、自分も食べるものから、買うものまで色々と控える生活をしていたのだけれど、「今やりたいことをやらない、今欲しいものを買わない。それだと、結局自分は、いったい何のために生きているんだ?何のために長生きしたいんだっけ??」と自分に疑問が湧き、極端なミニマム生活はやめた。
新しいガジェット。素敵なジャケット、良いコーヒーマシーン。もちろん、これを全部買っていたらキリがない。さらに、自分は6人家族のパパなので、もちろん仕事をして家族を養う必要がある。でも、それだけじゃ行き詰まる。
漠然だけれど「強くなれるアイテム」が欲しいと思うことがある。これはトライアスロンで、早い自転車などでなくて、もっとなんていうか漠然と強く、強く自分をしてくれるもの。心も体もパリッとさせてくれるもの。
モチベーションを爆上げしてくれるもの。明日もさらに頑張ろうという気持ちにさせてくれるもの。自分が納得できるもの。自分を「爆上げしてくれる」アイテムが欲しい!

What it means to buy what you want now
A while back, minimalists were all the rage and I cut back on a lot of things in my life, from what I ate to what I bought, but then I asked myself, “What on earth do I want to do if I have to put up with what I want to do now and what I want to buy now? Where do I want to go?” I stopped living an extreme minimalist lifestyle because I thought.
New gadgets. A nice jacket, a good coffee machine. Of course, there’s no end to the things I could buy. I am a father of six, so of course I have to work to support my family.
But sometimes I vaguely think that I want ‘things that make me strong’. I don’t mean something like a good performing bike that will speed up my time in triathlons or anything like that, but something that will vaguely lift my spirits. Something that refreshes my mind and body. Something that makes you want to work hard tomorrow. Something that makes me want to do my best tomorrow. I want things that move my heart strongly, that lead me to an ideal future far away!
