Invest in Yourself

I realize that I have a bad habit that needs to be broken. The habit that I am speaking of is actually common among many people I know although I don’t know if they realize that it is a habit.  Sometimes we become so consumed with the cares of life and we forget to invest in ourselves.  We invest in our spouses, our children, jobs, churches, community and etc…but we forget to invest in ourselves. 

It is important to devote some time, energy and resources into ourselves.  I am in no way speaking against doing things for others; however, we must remember how important it is to do something for ourselves.  This is something we must put into practice on a regular basis and not just every now and then. 

   I want to encourage everyone that has an issue like I do to make it up in your mind that you will strive to change today.  If you are putting hours and hours of work in on someone else’s job, try to make time to work on your own business.  If you always buy for your family and forget about yourself take a day and buy just for you.  If you always sacrifice your rest for others take a day to rest for you.  If you are always listening to others to help them with their issues take a day to allow a friend to listen to you.  There are so many ways to look out for you, take care of yourself, love yourself, buy for yourself, and take time for yourself.  However you need to just ensure that you invest in yourself!
