ESTABLISH YOUR FUTURE WHILE YOU ARE STILL A YOUTH
It is common knowledge to state that the future is tomorrow and when we get to tomorrow the future is extended yet again. With this in mind, a lot of young people have been programmed to believe that they can only be useful when the future comes but where is the future if not today? I have come to understand that a man's future is not something that is new. Tomorrow should not be new to any man because it is simply a reflection of his previous day.
whatever we do today ultimately reflects tomorrow that is why as a young person, your future can never be brighter than your investment today. It is usually told that we are leaders of tomorrow how wrong that is. If a man can not lead himself today, he should not expect to lead others tomorrow. i am so much against the fact that many young people think that the youth age is the time for them to play and have the fun that one can ever get. As a young person, you have no better time than now to establish your future. Instead of talking about tomorrow why not start now? That is why most young people will get to the so called tomorrow and they won't have anything.
Let me say that your tomorrow can never be any better than what you do today. In the words of the preacher in Ecclesiastes 1:9-11, he talks about the fact that there is absolutely nothing under the sun that is new. That includes your future. There is no man that has a future that should amaze him because the future is simply an offspring his now. So, with the future in mind, start investing your now diligently and passionately. You are still young and you have all the life, passion and desire in you. Why waste it in the bar and sleeping all around.
How can I invest?
well, the first question should actually be, "What can i invest for my future to be established?" Number, your time.
Everyone of us has 24 hours each day but we certainly do not use it the same way. However, two things lie in common when we think critically about it. We either spend the 24 hours or we invest. A man intending to do business with a particular amount of money as his capital can choose to either spend it or invest it as his primary intention, so it is with time. just anyone can choose to spend or invest HIS 24 hours. Wow! Did you see that? His 24 hours. Meaning each day you have a total of 24 hours in your life account. Quiet a benefit right? Like a child in a faraway place receiving a monthly allowance from the parent has a choice to spend or invest all that he has received. Now, if he chooses to spend, very soon he will beg, go hungry and might end up stealing.
INVESTING OR SPENDING (GIFT VICTOR KAFUNDA)
You have a life account that is loaded with time. The greatest resource you can invest as a young man or woman is your time. At the end of each day have dividends from the 24 hours you had.
the second thing you will have to invest is your money. In as much as life is meant to be enjoyed, you must understand that you will have to save up your resources for future use. Not all that you earn is to be chewed. remember, God gives bread to the eater and seed to the sower. So, your earnings consists of both bread and seed. Bread to eat and seed to invest. The last thing I will mention is that you will have to invest in relationships. Yes, relationships. You live among people and you perfectly know that relationships are what keep the society advancing. You need to invest in people around you. by this I mean be good, give, help and lift others.
For now, I leave you with these thoughts. Best regards
