What are you investing in?
If you’re like me, you probably thought of something related to finance. In fact, most people view investing through the narrow lenses of dollars & cents. But the majority doesn’t always have the final word. You know, kind of like how everyone used to believe the earth was flat but later found out it wasn’t. Most people anyway, no offense to Kyrie Irving.
We have been conditioned to compartmentalize investing and view the principles that go along with it as only being applicable to money.
The facts? Investing and its related concepts like compounding interest, bull & bear markets and return on investment (ROI) have EVERYTHING to do with your life outside of finances.
These same principles apply to how we think, grow and change in our lives
What’s the point? You’ve read this far, you might as well finish.
You possess a currency in near limitless supply and if you’re like me and most other people (which you are, we covered this earlier), you’re not investing it.
What currency am I referring to? Your thoughts.
Investing inward and changing your life starts with your thinking. By “thinking”, I’m talking about next-level, purposeful thinking. Simply put: intentional thinking. And what ROI does intentional thinking produce?
Living differently. Growing and becoming the best version of who you were designed to be.
Like investing your money, inward investing is both incredibly simple yet inherently difficult. It takes self-awareness, effort and consistency, which is why very few actually do it.
It boils down to 3 key steps:
IDENTIFY
the lies we believe about ourselves. Lies that hold us back from living out what we were designed to do.
REPLACE
those lies with truth. We build a framework for what we know is true to directly combat the lie.
REINFORCE
that truth through the transformative power of daily, intentional thinking. Creating a portfolio of thought patterns that strengthen your new beliefs.
Ask yourself this question: are you happy with your life’s “IRR”,” Inward Rate of Return?
If you’re like me and most other people, you have areas in your life with negative returns. In fact, you might be in a full-on bear market right now.
My own personal bear market is what inspired me to begin this journey. More about that on the “Why” page.
I’m here to tell you that it’s okay and it’s not too late. Just like with the financial markets, personal growth and change are also cyclical and you don’t have to stay range-bound in poor returns and a continuous inner recession.
You can start investing inward today and I will give you the tools you need to succeed. I take time-tested investment principles and transform them into practical, actionable ideas to help improve your thinking and change your life.
Remember:
If you change your thoughts, you change your beliefs. If you change your beliefs, you change your actions. If you change your actions, you change your life. Thinking intentionally, living differently. It’s investing, turned inward.
good thinking is a
Process
