Sometimes when people invest in something or someone we rarely do so without strings attached. It is human nature to an extent. We want to know what we are putting our energy into. We want to know what’s in the pot at the end of the rainbow. What is the return on our investment?
Most of us believe and invest in the intended outcome without much consideration for change. We are told: “You are investing in our marriage that will last for life.” “You are investing in me because I will be with you forever, they won’t.” Even if the person making the statement has the truest intentions and the statement is made honestly at the time, the reality is that no one really knows what the result will be.
People change unpredictably and the person changing often doesn't know how the initial intent will look in the future. This means, if we choose to invest, we are choosing to make the best of what we have for however long we have it without a guaranteed result.
Some people call it “blind faith.” I call it “taking a chance.” If you truly invest in a chance and are cognizant of the immediate benefits you reap, then regardless of the result the chance taken was worth it. Maybe it doesn’t look the way you want it to but what does? The daily rewards we get from completely committing to something are worth more than the worst result.
When it’s over, we are owed nothing. We invest daily and reap rewards daily. Our entitlement surfaces when we fail to see the rewards of our investment now, instead of in the future.
Don’t miss out on the now because you are holding out for the future…It may never come.
