The Power of Investment

As women we are natural nurturers. We love to help the helpless, mend the broken, change the bad to good, and invest in others life’s and hearts. Though we are helpers, healers, and investors; we often forget there is a limit to these actions. This limit is for your own self-happiness. Taking time to invest in yourself is the key to positivity within your life and also towards others. If you invest in your own heart and mind you will have a greater impact on others in your journey. Here are four main steps in personal investing.

1. How to invest in yourself?

Investing in yourself means mental, spiritual, and physical growth. I personally believe the best way to invest and grow within yourself is by doing new activities. Step out of your comfort zone and get to know your inner voice! These activities could be starting a journal, testing your physical capabilities, going to new places, trying new foods, reading morning devotionals. Get to know who you are inside and out.

2. What friends should you invest in?

In life you will come across many individuals, some will stay and some will go. Just because someone exits your life, does not mean they were not valuable to your life. Everyone you come in contact with serves a purpose in your journey. There is a meaning behind this action. Where you plant your seed, is where it will grow. Meaning do not plant your precious seed in individuals that do not help you properly and maturely develop. Friends should strengthen, guide, and bring joy to your adventures in life. Therefore, chose your friends wisely and be protective of your heart.

3. What man should you invest in?

Ladies, you deserve the world and more. Invest in a man that seeks for you, wants to know all the details about you, and cherishes your flaws and perfections. I cannot say this enough, do not change yourself for any man! You are perfect just the way you are. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God the creator himself. You are flawed, but oh so beautiful. Invest in a man that doesn’t make you question your worth, but consistently shows you how valuable you are. Invest in a man with the same moral, religious, and life beliefs. I know as women we love a challenge, but understand that your heart is a fragile item, therefore don’t misuse it on challenges. Challenges are not stabile and your heart deserves stability.

4. How to invest in God?

I saved this point for last because I feel as if it is the most important behind this article. God consistently invests in our hearts despite our wrongs. God guides, heals, and protects our hearts. The creator of all sees the fine details of our inner and outer beauty, because he created it, therefore we should honor his craftsmanship always. Pray daily and love consistently. Live life through God and invest your heart with the Creator of all. As humans we are fragile, broken, and lost, but with God we are strong, mended, and guided. Remember ladies a woman of God is a rare treasure.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
