Investing In Yourself

Investing in yourself is both necessary and rewarding. You can't go out into the world and make a difference until you've invested adequately in yourself. And the investment has to be continuous, or else you fall off. The amount you need to invest will vary depending on the needs and requirements around you, but the need will always be there.

Some basic ways to invest in yourself.

- Rest adequately.
- Exercise. A healthy mind with an unhealthy body is limited. Keep your body healthy.
- Eat well. For a healthy mind and body.
- Educate yourself, not just by what education systems are teaching you. Really educate yourself, not everything you will learn through education channels is correct unfortunately. Learn how to sift through and filter information. Learn how to spot bias (because everything has a bias). Learn how to sift through hype. Learn how to deconstruct facts.
- Read books and listen to podcasts. The great thing about podcasts are they make time productive that used to be wasted. ie: listen to a podcast while driving, doing chores, etc.
- Master skills that come naturally to you, learn skills that are less natural for you and that require more work and lastly, be aware of skills you aren't good at.

Do these things are you will be equipped to help out and make a difference in the world.
