Investment: Paths to Certainty

If you knew that paying five dollars now would ensure twenty dollars next week, you would most likely excitedly hand over the five dollars. But, your currency is not just money. If you knew that an investment of two hours per week would result in residual income for you and your family, you would most likely be motivated to find that time in your week.

Each choice you are faced with involves investment and return. A farmer would say sowing and reaping. Whatever seeds you plant, you can expect to grow into plants. If you plant fear, suspicions, and worry, expect to grow fearfulness, mistrust, and anxiety. If you plant thoughtfulness, actions, and risk, expect to grow structure, results, and reward. The effects of sowing and reaping in your life are both physical and psychological. Relationships are affected by what you sow, and the reaping determines your reality.

  • Invest Planning not Worry 
  • Invest Action not Anxiety 
  • Invest Risk not Self-Protection 
  • Invest Engagement not Stress 
  • Invest Positive Competition not Negative Competition
