What is an investment? In a financial context, it is money we allocate (to a fund or program) with the intention to expand and grow it (with interest or other gains) so we get more money back.
How does this apply to actions and excellence? If we see our every action as an investment, it means that we stand to gain MORE than we give.
* If we invest in our relationships by strengthening communication and spending quality time with loved ones, our relationships grow and expand into meaningful connections that enrich our lives.
* If we invest in our career by giving our best effort, continuing our education and striving for long-term advancement, we gain more money, greater job satisfaction and more opportunities for success.
* If we invest in our personal growth and development, we gain a greater understanding of ourselves, our aspirations, and our potential.
It’s exactly the same for everything you do, whether you’re working on your passions or your obligations.
* Would you want to have an operation done by a surgeon that was only half paying attention to what he or she was doing?
* Would you want to be driven by a taxi driver that was only half watching the road?
* Would you want to eat a meal that was only half cooked by a chef?
Granted, most of the things you do may not be as life altering as these examples. But why should your results be any less important?
