Sometimes it can be hard enough just keeping track of yourself and your own damn life.
But, when you can become a person who pays attention to other peoples’ lives and can do something about helping them live theirs…
You’ll likely notice your own life becomes easier.
…Which from a surface level sounds counterintuitive because time and energy spent helping others is time and energy you can no longer spend on yourself.
But the catch is that time and energy spent on others isn’t ever really spent… it’s invested.
And the ROI is the time and energy that person might want to invest back into you… multiplied by the number of times they choose to do so throughout the rest of your lives.
Let that sink in for a second.
…Not every investment will give a positive ROI, though.
Which is why boundaries, inner work, and having standards are so important.
But, when they do yield a positive ROI… boy, do they.
Never underestimate or be selfish about these almighty and powerful investments.
