Best Places to Invest

When I hear the word investment, my brain would suddenly create a picture of money, bank, house, and insurance. Investment is something that’s not discussed by me and my friends on a regular basis during lunch or coffee-break. It’s a big word; only for the big men and women who can afford and understand it. Besides, why bother when it’s too far my grasp.

I’m a mother of two and we have a business that’s fairly growing. Our investment knowledge I would say is very limited. Been going through the net to educate myself and for more than five years, I could say that it’s not so easy to start a real investment. And so as I keep on begging God to pour at least a million dollars so we expand our business, help the poor, eradicate illiteracy (hahaha), and make an Investment, I realized that INVESTMENT is not entirely about putting money to grow money.

There are other more important investments that we should put high premium than saving that paper bill. Ooops! Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that you just be a profligate and be reckless with your money. What I want us to understand is that we don’t have to be bitter and sad, and jealous when our friend or a sibling is making great investments. We have to see the bigger picture.

Have you been drinking enough water lately? Have you been eating a hefty portion of veggies and fruits for the past week? Maybe you want to make an Investment on your Physical Health. Yes! Invest on that biological machine that you are using every day. HEALTH is WEALTH. There were so many famous, powerful, and rich folks who did not enjoy what they had because they were sick. Check your life style as well. Have enough rest and don’t drink and smoke. They’re just fun for a while but you’re gonna pay a very high price soon (I did!) .Take your vitamins. Take supplements as well. Here’s a link for you to check the best supplement available in the market right now. http://www.comparing-vitamin-supplements.com/

Another great area to invest is on your love ones. Investment on Emotional Health. Invest time, love, patience, and words of encouragement to them. Have you done that lately? If not, do it as soon as you can. There’s no point of having all the riches, fame, and success when your home, your children, and your marriage is a wreck. Life is about sharing, pursuing, believing, laughing, dancing, and singing with these people. A happy and complete home is far greater than Gold.

The greatest investment anyone can make in his entire life is this one, Investment on Spiritual Health. Start putting God and His agendas first. Pause and assess if the things you are doing right now are self-seeking or God-centered. Put aside worldly desires and live for the Lord. There is no better place to be than in God’s hands. No matter how brilliant, well-connected, aggressive, good-looking, and articulate you are, apart from God you will still feel empty, sad and incomplete. God is the beginning and the end of life. That is why the first three areas that I mentioned are more important than the financial investment we know about. It’s so easy to squander any amount if you’re lost, emotionally unstable, hurt, mad, jealous, bitter, and greedy. Been there, done that and all I can say is that you will never go wrong with God.

The last investment to make is the Financial Investment. People put this investment at the top of the list that’s why they neglect their health, family and good moral standard just to secure this one. They eventually forget the essence of life. They get into illegal business transactions while others loan money just to speed up the realization of their dreams. It’s good to have an ideal financial standing in life but money is not the end, it’s just a tool. It’s not God, not even our source of self worth or sense of acceptance. Parents work to death because they want to give their children the best. In the end, their absence can’t be compensated with money and material things because those two are temporary while time spent lingers. Are you getting this? I hope I am able to add something valuable to your life today.

Let me now proceed to financial investment.

To be financially-free, you have to be debt-free. Personal debts and business debts are totally different. If you are in deep personal debt, stop buying unnecessary things like clothes, shoes, gadgets, and other items that are not part of your basic needs. Start living below your means and little by little settle your accounts. This will surely bring peace and freedom to you and to your family as well.

If you’re business incurs more debt that receivables, you have to stop borrowing and start assessing your next move. Do not cave in to embarrassment that your business flopped. Save yourself from bigger trouble. Look for someone who can help you make an intelligent and practical solution for your situation. Your failure won't be a permanent one when you're willing to make some adjustments and some sacrifices. Be creative and educate yourself more on how to manage your business and your money efficiently. It takes consistent application of correct approach for any business to succeed.

After all these years, I learned that the essentials in life are not so hard to achieve as long as we know what they are. Being financially free is important and necessary and we must acquire the knowledge on how to do it. Being healthy physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually is doable by you and I. We don’t need tons of money to be able to do that and to be rich in life. Just invest on the right places and you will surely reap more than your wildest imagination.

There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 Now is the time to make those great investments!
