invest in yourself

IN THE RUSH OF DAILY LIFE, THE UNIVERSE CONTINUOUSLY SENDS US MESSAGES -
GENTLE REMINDERS TO PAUSE AND REFLECT ON OUR ACTIONS. SOMETIMES, WE FIND
OURSELVES DRIFTING AWAY FROM OUR TRUE PATH. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE
UNIVERSE STEPS IN, GUIDING US BACK IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

BUT THESE MESSAGES CAN ONLY BEAR FRUIT IF WE MAKE TIME FOR OURSELVES.

IN THIS FAST-PACED GENERATION, FINDING TIME FEELS DIFFICULT. YET, IT IS
NECESSARY TO CREATE MOMENTS OF STILLNESS ~ MOMENTS WHERE WE SIT QUIETLY
AND ASK OURSELVES IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR STUDIES, OUR
HEALTH, OUR WEALTH, OUR GOALS ~ QUESTIONS THAT FOCUS ONLY ON OURSELVES,
WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.

LET ME GIVE YOU A CRYSTAL-CLEAR EXAMPLE OF WHY INVESTING IN YOURSELF
MATTERS :-
IMAGINE YOU ARE HOLDING A TORCH IN ONE HAND AND A BOX IN THE OTHER. SUPPOSE
THE BOX REPRESENTS A PERSON OR AN ACTIVITY WHERE YOU ARE INVESTING YOUR
TIME AND EFFORTS. IF YOU SHINE THE TORCH ONTO THE BOX, YOU WILL SEE LITTLE TO
NO MEANINGFUL OUTPUT.NO GLOW, NO REFLECTION BACK. HOWEVER, IF YOU TURN
THAT SAME TORCH, THE SAME ENERGY,TOWARDS YOURSELF, YOU WILL SEE YOUR OWN
FACE ILLUMINATED. YOU WILL SEE THE GLOW.

IN THE SAME WAY, WHEN YOU INVEST YOUR TIME, ENERGY, AND EFFORT INTO
YOURSELF RATHER THAN IN OTHERS OR DISTRACTIONS, THE RESULTS ARE FAR MORE
FRUITFUL AND HOPEFUL. IT BENEFITS YOU IN COUNTLESS WAYS,HELPING YOU GROW,
SUCCEED, AND SHINE.

!!!REMEMBER!!!
IF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING POISONS YOUR ENERGY OR DRAINS YOUR SPIRIT OR
SPOILS YOUR AURA, CUT IT OFF. NO HESITATION. NO GUILT. BE NONCHALANT TOWARD
THAT PERSON OR ACTIVITY.

TO CONCLUDE:
USE THE SAME ENERGY, BUT DIRECT IT WISELY. INVEST IN YOURSELF — BECAUSE THE
UNIVERSE IS ALREADY WHISPERING THAT YOU ARE WORTH IT.

NOT EVERY WHISPER IS MEANT TO BE IGNORED.
