Most times we get so carried away with the things around us that we forget to take care of our self, we get so carried away by the amount we have in our bank accounts, by the number of cars we own and the number of houses we have bought that we forget that our soul needs to be taken care of, as this will help us have proper control and absolute management over all that we have acquired over time.
If only you know how powerful and valuable you are, then you will know that you are far above those things you have acquired and you can always get more satisfaction.
There are people who are victors but still behave like victims just because they do not understand how strong and powerful they are or how well they can make things work out for themselves.
Investing in yourself means that you can build yourself up, make yourself better, make yourself stronger, make yourself more independent. One problem we have is that we are so carried away with the lives of others, we are carried away with how we can make others get better and we put ourselves behind.
Most people spend the better years of their lives in trying to build up others, giving all that they have into the development of that person and during these periods they leave themselves behind.
There is no big deal in trying to make someone a better person or a successful person, but the issue begins when the person you have spent most of your life trying to build, makes you feel you have never affected his or her life in any positive way.
Sometimes the person might even say it to your face that you have added no meaning at all to his or her life, it is at that point that you now begin to wish you had done something good for yourself.
My friend, before it gets to that point with you begin to regret putting so much into the life of another person and leaving your own self behind, begin to build yourself as well. It is not a bad idea to help someone up, but do not leave yourself behind in the process.

Before you become a channel to fill other vessels, fill yourself first. After that it's will be easy for you to overflow and fill others.
