We tend to make investments in everything but ourselves. And we tend to commit to anything else but our own well being. And I've always wondered, "Why is that?". It's the hardest thing to commit to putting time into "us", but when it comes to other things and other people we invest by the pocket full.
A lot of people say that they are bad at or scared of making commitments. Yet they buy a cell phone and commit to pay Verizon or AT&T for 2-4 years. For TV watchers...they commit to showing up at 7 PM every Thursday to watch their favorite show, and will leave work early and rush home through traffic to make it on time. For Mothers...they commit themselves wholly and selflessly to their children (and I commend them...Mothers, you are amazing!), but let themselves go in the process. And everyday people make investment in retirement plans, stocks, bonds and foreign markets. So making a commitment or an investment is not the issue. It's something deeper then that. Maybe not wanting to face the reality of how far they've let themselves go.
Well...it's time for a change.
Make a commitment today to: read a book that interest you, write your thoughts out on paper to sort out your thoughts and/or make a plan of action; go start a fitness program whether at home or at your local gym, enjoy your favorite activity or hobby, spend some quiet time alone and breathe and meditate...focus on you, get in touch with the Creator...
Everyday, set some time aside for you. Make an investment in yourself and expect an awesome return. Not in a selfish light, but in a positive way that will benefit yourself and others around you. Always remember...if you can not take care of and maintain self, how can you expect to take care of others?
