Hello
everybody! Eku deede iwoyi o!
When Was the Last Time You Invested in Yourself? If you have difficulty answering that question, it's time to change gear! When there is so much work to be done, we forget to carve out space for our own personal development. By and large, we focus on growing our businesses, taking care of the never-ending needs of our loved ones both near and far, not ourselves. Does that really make sense? A friend told me how he walked away from an event feeling proud of himself. He said, “It got me fired up.” Never doubt the value of investing in yourself, whether that means taking a special meeting or attending a conference, seminar/webinar, or Buy (and read) a book. You're not being selfish. You're empowering yourself to see beyond your day to day and into the future. Instead of doing things for everybody else all the time, it pays to invest in yourself…We will pay good money for our kids to get tutors at school, for music lessons, to join sports teams, to join clubs, and the like. We sign them up for activities that broaden their horizons. Yet, we don’t do it for ourselves. Why? It doesn’t have to cost money. Invest your time instead. Download a podcast. Watch a TED Talk etc. Failure to invest in ourselves can promote stagnation. We grow as we learn. Bet on yourself, invest in yourself and that investment will surely pay off!
We rejoice with you if you were born in September. Wishing you all the blessings you are due for and good health all year round!
Have
a wonderful month everybody! Stay safe, stay strong, and stay healthy!
