The Ultimate Investment

What’s the difference between being rich and poor, a success or failure?

Is it education? Is it luck? Does come from skill?  These things help but they aren’t essential. 

Is it money?  Do you need connections?  No.  Anyone can succeed without them.

The difference is The Ultimate Investment.

The Ultimate Investment, if made wisely, makes you wealthy, keeps you healthy, and brings you happiness. It eases pain, enhances wisdom, and helps you achieve anything you want . . . And more.

Where do get the Ultimate Investment? You don’t.  It gets you, and continues to get you every day for the rest of your life.

No matter where you are or what you’re doing, you get a free daily allotment.  You get the same amount as everyone else no matter how much money you’re willing to spend or how loudly you complain. And when it finally runs out, that’s it. 

Control your return.

Leverage it, spend it, give or trade it.  Squander, borrow, bide or waste it, whatever you do, be wise.

Measure it, take it, fill or steal it.  Lend it, use it, lose or kill it, and still invest more the very next day.

Don’t let it be ordinary.    

Treat it more reverently than rubies, more shrewdly than a secret, more prudently than your last paycheck.

Let nothing stand in your way.

Invest heavily in work, waste some for fun, give some to charity, and spend lots on your family.

Loan some to friends, give some to the poor, and of course, keep a little just for yourself.

The Ultimate Investment, compounded daily throughout your life, ultimately determines who you’ll be, rich or poor, happy or sad, a success or failure.

The choice is yours.

It’s your most sacred gift, your most thoughtless expense, your most inexpensive commodity, your most priceless treasure.

The Ultimate Investment is  . . . your TIME!!
