There are lots of ways we invest in things. We invest our money in stocks, in real estate, and in goods. We invest our emotional capital in other people and in relationships. We invest our time in our community, in our schools, in our education, and in our social activities.
But we often fail to invest in ourselves. We think it is selfish to spend time on ourselves. We live for others; spending our time and resources running around fulfilling their needs, trying to please them. Now, don’t misinterpret. I am not saying don’t serve and help people. By all means do. Just don’t live for them.
Live for yourself. Invest in yourself. Take care of yourself. Become the best possible version of yourself. It is from that place that you will be in the best position possible to then help others and serve the world.
