Invest In Yourself

Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffett, Indra Nooyi, Elon Musk – One common characteristic that these billionaires share, of course apart from being billionaires, is that the key to their larger-than-life success lies in having made an investment in themselves early on in their lives. After all, investing in yourself is one of the best investments you can make, one with the highest ROI. But too often, we have failed to make this investment for various reasons. Lack of time or money or interest or belief, the list of reasons can be dauntingly endless. We are often overwhelmed by the seemingly urgent, low-priority, everyday tasks that making time for our own well-being and growth can sometimes be the last thing on our minds. However, the success stories of these billionaire entrepreneurs are testament to the idea that making an investment in our own self holds a very real value, which can be recognized as they compound over time.

“Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. Anything that improves your own talents, nobody can tax it or take it away from you. They can run up huge deficits and the dollar can become worth far less. You can have all kinds of things happen. But if you’ve got talent yourself, and you’ve maximized your talent, you’ve got a tremendous asset that can return ten-fold.”

Warren Buffett

There is a wealth of benefits that can be reaped once you start investing in yourself consistently. Here are some of those benefits that can positively inspire you to start making that investment right away:

  • Satisfaction: As you start investing your time, money and efforts into personal growth and development, you will be rewarded with a deep sense of accomplishment and contentment. Whether you make that investment in your physical health and fitness or in your creative pursuits, the sense of accomplishment and gratification that follows right after can be worth all the costs and in fact, generate greater returns in the near future.
  • Confidence: With a greater set of accomplishments, now you will feel a greater degree of confidence about your skills and abilities. And this confidence will directly lead you to a clearer vision of your future and enable you to dream much bigger. Personal growth and development can be the perfect solution for moving past and crushing down all the insecurities and anxieties that often seem to debilitate us.
“He who has a ‘why’ to live can bear almost any ‘how’.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

  • Stability: When you invest in your personal growth and development—whether it’s learning something completely from scratch, or refining and building upon your existing set of skills, you will be able to help to add a lot more stability to your career as well as life.
  • Connections: Investing in yourself can open the opportunity to build and strengthen new connections. Deepening the bonds of trust and empathy in your personal relationships and in the larger community can help others as well as yourself.
