Invest

This is a message to me as much as it is to anyone else. Invest in yourself, invest your time, money, and resources into getting better, doing better, and being better. Motivation is not reliable, so you have to compound discipline. Make promises to yourself and keep them. Don’t give yourself an out, that’s how things get better. We convince ourselves that other people care, but they don’t. The only person that has your best interests front of mind all the time is you. Other people don’t necessarily want what you want. It’s not malicious, but people don’t want to struggle, and they don’t want to see you struggle. You don’t want to struggle, but you have to. Getting better is hard, improvement is hard. If you don’t take time to improve you won’t make improvements. Try to make the voice go away that says things that are beneficial need to be on the back burner, prioritize yourself and do what you need to for the long term, the person you need to be 10 years from now.
