You will be there until the moment you die; there’s no way around that.

This means you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to invest, as you will be there through everything.

Any money, time, and effort you invest in yourself will have a chance to repay itself for as long as you live.

The education you get, the books you read, the exercise you do, the self-improvement you do in all walks will aid the only investment that is guaranteed to last a lifetime: You.

Of course you can buy a new bed or build yourself a new, fancy computer, and those things will serve you well.

You can invest in your relationship, can invest in your family or your friends, but anything and everything you invest, other than yourself, can fall away in a heartbeat.

The only person that will never leave your side is you.

At the end of the day, this can mean that you are your greatest supporter or your greatest hindrance, but you will be there nonetheless.

You can be the devil on your own shoulder or the angel on the other side, you can be your own best friend or your own worst enemy, and you can learn to help yourself, to push yourself and to demand more of yourself, or to be the person that allows you to get away…
