Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Are you investing in your future?

You're probably thinking, "What's with this all of a sudden?" lol

 

I was just wondering if everyone is investing in their own future.

Take qualifications and licenses, for example. These are also an investment in the future, aren't they?

Take books, for example. Expanding your knowledge and horizons is also an investment.

We prepare for, take measures against, and tackle the events that are likely to occur in the future.

What's more, whatever you invest in will inevitably come back to you.

And some people say that this is the only way to find happiness.

 

I think of that preparation as an investment, but it’s really hard to do when you’re working a regular job!

You're probably thinking that, right?

But I think it's just that I'm slacking off on things I'm actually capable of doing.

People who say they can't do it will start trying to come up with reasons why they can't, lol.

Make up an excuse for something.

Even though I’m the one saying this, I tend to make excuses myself, so I try my best to avoid that by setting a schedule and sticking to it.

When it comes to investing in yourself, your biggest enemy is yourself.

Whenever I try to invest, something always gets in the way. My laziness!

"I'm busy today," "I'm feeling a little sluggish," "I feel like I have a fever," "I have a drinking party..." and so on.

If you choose not to invest, you are solely responsible for any consequences.

Your future self must take responsibility for your past.

Can you get out of it by blaming someone else?

After all, you're the protagonist of your own life, right!?

 

How should I deal with my enemies when investing in myself?

That is,Something to do every day, even if it's just a littleThat's it.

You might be thinking, "Is that really okay?!" but yes, it is.

First of all,Sticking to your goals as the first step in investing in yourselfLet's assume that...

It doesn't matter if it's just 5 or 10 minutes a day. The important thing is to keep doing it every day.

This is extremely important.

I'm also training myself to write this blog every day, but there are times when it's really tough lol

Sometimes it’s so short—just a few lines—that I just go, “Aaaaaah.”

But I'll keep going.

 

If you do that, before you know it, you’ll find yourself actually starting to invest, won’t you?

It goes from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, and then 30 minutes to... and so on.

One of Ichiro’s famous quotes, who recently retired, is

"It's the accumulation of small things that,

"I believe this is the only path that leads to an incredible place."

Even Ichiro himself is saying that.

Once it becomes a habit to a certain extent, you start to feel stressed when you don't do it.

 

Even an ordinary person like me has the potential to create something someday—as long as I keep at it, little by little.

Let's keep investing in ourselves like that!

So I don't run away from myself! For my future self!

 

See you later.
