In these financially-turbulent times people tend to worry over their investments. This is understandable, considering that their hard-earned money is at stake, what with the shaky economy. Most people worry about their personal financial worth, because they feel that money is the currency of life. After all, when you've got money, life seems that much easier. But having a ton of money does not necessarily ensure happiness in your life, nor does increasing your personal financial worth mean that the same can be said of your true personal worth.
Many people are unaware of the fact that investing in themselves is far more important than investing in any financial instruments put together. Forget about stocks, bonds, properties, futures, and all other investment opportunities. Your true personal worth is far more valuable than any financial instrument; in fact it transcends any monetary value that can be pegged to any material object. Invest in yourself to get superior returns, because when the chips are down, you can lose every material wealth you've managed to accumulate all your life, but you can never lose whatever you've invested in yourself.
What you need to understand is this: Material wealth would mean nothing if you don't have a solid "personal portfolio". Imagine a situation where you stand to lose everything you've worked so hard for all your life; retrenchment, market crisis, bankruptcy, etc. If you haven't invested in yourself then you may never recover from whatever catastrophic financial loss you may have experienced.
Situations that spin your life out of control because they were never in your control in the first place - such as natural disasters, government decisions, global financial markets, and even crime - can make or break you. The one thing that determines either outcome is simply yourself.
Investing in yourself really isn't all that hard to do. It takes a lot of learning, and thus a lot of discipline. It involves learning how to cope with a stressful situation, learning to value what you already have, and learning how to use your resources prudently. When you invest in yourself, what you're really doing is understanding yourself inside and out. You learn to understand your true worth and potential, and just what you're capable of.
The problem with a lot of people is that they take things for granted, and they have never really understood true adversity and their ability to rise above it. For someone who has survived such adversities, they mean little more than a crack in the sidewalk to step over, while those who have never faced adversities would bemoan that their world has come to an end.
Thus it is imperative that you invest in skills that can enrich your true personal worth. Mentally prepare yourself for adversities you might come across in life. While it may be true that money can buy anything in the world, knowledge is the most valuable commodity you can possess.
Anyone and anything can take your hard-earned money away from you, but no one can take away your knowledge. Knowledge, especially that which is derived from experience, is the best asset you can have, and there is no substitute. Take the time to improve yourself, hone your existing skills and learn something new everyday. Keep yourself updated with current affairs. Whatever you do, continually feed yourself a wealth of knowledge, both about yourself, and the world around you. The pursuit of knowledge should never end. Invest in yourself for superior returns, more so in these financially troubled times.
