Warren Buffett Quote"The best investment you will ever make is in yourself."

Happy Friday Everyone!!  

Ownership is a frequently used term in education, business, family life, activities, and life in general.  The majority of the time when we talk about ownership we are referring to responsibility or understanding your own role within the whole.  Ownership is a key component of personal growth.  Another key component of personal growth is investment.  Investment can be defined as an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.  Time is one of the most precious resources you have because once you spend it, it never comes back.  Therefore, the investment of time should be well thought out to yield the best results possible.  Here are two key areas to be sure to invest your time:

  • Yourself - investing time in yourself allows you to be at your best when you invest time with others.  Some may see this as selfish, but would people rather spend time with a cranky, unhappy you or spend time with you when you are at your best?
  • Your relationships - investing time with others to yield the best results possible is very gratifying.  Investing time to strengthen relationships with your teammates, classmates, coworkers, families, friends, and faith are wise investments.

Finding and maintaining balance of investing your time is very important.  It is easy to forget to invest in yourself and focus all of your time and attention on others.  If this continues for too long, you won't be able to invest your best self with anyone. So be sure to spend some of this precious resource on yourself. 

Happy Friday!!
