In our lives we work hard and play hard. We figure the more we put in the more return we see on the value of where the effort is being put. This isn't always true.
On the times in your life, you have to ask yourself; "have you've lived your life to where you see the investment has it's dividends"? If you don't follow me let me explain.
Life is a gift we all receive at birth. You don't have a choice where you are brought in, who brings you or when your life ends. You do have a choice to live it, how is the biggest key factor.
Here you go on your way, starting as a child thinking the world revolves around you. Basically it does or it should. You will depend on others to feed you, love you keep you warm and safe. I know that's not always the case but I would bet that 7 out of 10 kids live this to start with. You grow up enough to start relationships and be your own person. Things aren't as rosy nor are they as easy but you start your journey in life independent of those who started you off. Bravo!
Before long, you start to invest time, your heart and your thoughts into others. This is okay. Before long, you put yourself aside and hope that with everything you've given perhaps it will come back to you. That the others you've given everything to (I'm not talking about a physical gift) will re-pay you in kind. A kiss for a kiss...
If you've forgotten that banked time, that investment you hoped would pay it's dividends and you wake up from a long slumber of work, daily chores and functions you attend and see that you are standing alone.
Take that deep breath of fresh air. Be who you want to be and invest within the one thing you should have all along. Yourself.
Sometimes the hardest part in life is knowing when to hold your breath and when to take that one for life.
