Waiting for a Sale?

Always find yourself waiting?  Waiting for your chance to turn, waiting for a table, waiting for a coffee, the list just continues and grows of all of the things we continue to wait for everyday.  The one thing most of us invariably wait for time and time again is "the" sale.  You find what you believe to be the perfect pair of shoes but they are new, just out for the season.  The store is of course asking full price, you want to pay less, so you wait.  You wait and wait and wait some more.  Finally the great sale at the end of the season arrives, the shoes are now 75% off.  Fantastic!  Time to purchase your lovely find.  Only problem now, they no longer have your size or color.

Why did you wait so long for the shoes that you fell in love with months earlier?  They were perfect, would have lasted season after season, looked fabulous when you wore them; they were simply amazing.  Instead of treating them with the desire you felt for them, you chose to wait for a bargain basement deal and treat them as an anything purchase.   

Can you wait for a sale?  Absolutely.  However, you should save items to be purchased on sale for what they are, a random find that really matters not whether you acquire them.  When something unbelievable comes along, you should snatch it up immediately because you never know when or if that item and opportunity may ever come your way again. If you wait too long, you just might find that what could have been something wonderful for you is now owned and adored by someone else instead.  Don't lose out waiting!
