“The most important investment you can make is in yourself.” -Warren Buffett
Have you invested in yourself? When I ask you this question I don’t necessarily mean investing money or buying some material things. I am sure we have done a lot of that. Today when I ask you a question, have you invested in yourself? I want to ask you have you given time to yourself. Time Alone for yourself, time to go and eat something that you like, time to take a walk and feel the breeze on your face. Here I want to emphasize on the word ALONE. It’s easy to drown our thoughts when we are with others. It’s comfortable to choose an easy way out, but taking time out and being alone requires courage and conviction. Tony Robbins in one of his interview with Oprah Winfrey made a statement that hit me profoundly he said and I quote “If you do not have 10 minutes for yourself, you don’t have life.”
When I said take time out, I don’t mean to say go for a long trip, spend lots of money or sit in an erect position in the Himalayas. I ask you to take 10 to 20 minutes each day all for yourself, block out everything else. When it’s possible take a weekend off and rejuvenate yourself. I believe that only when we fill ourselves with goodness and peace we can give peace and goodness to others.
So make a commitment to make time for yourself.
