The Most Important Investment You Can Make

Investing In Your Personal Development

When most people hear the word "investment", they think of Warren Buffet and the stock market, and while this is something very important in the world, there is another form of investment that will directly change your life more.

That is the concept of investing in yourself and developing yourself as an individual.

You can choose to be a master and a specialist in a specific field such as Ronnie O'Sullivan in Snooker or Michael Jordan in Basketball, but these are extremely dedicated people who sacrificed the fun and the work-life balance to become the best of the best.

This absolutely has it's place and is something I personally vouch for, but for most people it is extremely difficult to get to that stage, which means it is more convenient and beneficial if you improve in all areas of your life.

Health and Fitness

Compulsory, no debates are to be had with this one.

"I don't have time" and "I can't afford to go to the gym" are not excuses for this, push ups are free, walking is free, cutting out sugar is actually SAVING you money.

Become a fitter and healthier person will positively transfer into all walks of your life, you will have more energy, look better in your clothing, become the visual embodiment of discipline and dedication, and you will befriend those who are similar to you.

You can start off with walking, or having one more healthy food item a day, or just trying the gym for one month, or start by doing some push ups and squats.

Overtime your body will crave exercise and start to feel better by doing it, but to get to this stage you have to start first.

A healthy body is a healthy mind, you can find more details about how to optimise your mental performance here:

Education and Knowledge

Pick a point of interest that you have, or an area of your life that you want to improve in, and pick up a book on that topic, just one book and read it from front to back.

The reason I say one book is so you can put all your focus on that one book and implement the steps that the author has written about, stopping you from prioritising data for later and buying 400 books on meditation and never actually putting any of it into action.

You can never stop learning, if Elon Musk, Warren Buffet, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jeff Bezos all read books, I'm sure there is going to be something you can learn from reading, and you also have the time to do so if these guys have.

Books are cheap and I personally believe they have the best ROI in the world, £7.99 for decades worth of experience and lessons? No brainer.

Improving Your Relationships

All day you are spending time with yourself and other people, meaning you want to try and get along with as many people as possible so you don't have a life filled with negativity, degeneracy and drama.

To prevent all of these things, you need to improve your relationship with yourself so you respect yourself enough to not get involved with people who may inflict these emotions and scenarios on you.

But having good relationships with people around you will also prevent this as you will help create an atmopshere of positivity, hope, joy and enthusiasm, and if you're the kind of person to bring this energy around with you, then you will have no issues making friends and being a shining light in other people's worlds.

Conclusion

Personal development requires discipline from yourself and it is on you to make things work.

But achieving goals and improving in life is always easier with someone by your side guiding you.
