My dear friends, we love you so very much,
Most of you understand the basic principles of investing. If you invest your time or money in a good product or a solid institution, you have the potential to make more money than you would with a salary or hourly wage. Conversely, if you put your time or money into a poor product—one that no one is looking for—or into an unstable or unethical institution, you could easily lose your resources.
Investing can help you understand a little more about how the energy you spend in your life brings you returns, for at all times, you are making investments in your future. The energy you emit through your thoughts and words and imbue in your actions is either an investment in a loving and desirable future or an investment in more of the same.
For example, anything you do with love is a wise investment, for your joy will bring a return of greater joy. Anytime you speak with love or appreciation, you are also investing love and will inevitably see more to love or appreciate.
Anytime you do something with upset, fear, doubt, or resentment, you are investing in lower vibrational energies that will only return more of the same. When you speak of something or someone negatively or with unpleasant emotion, you are investing in more negativity and frustration. That is not the return that most of you seek.
So, as you go about your life, ask yourself, “What future am I investing in, in this moment?” Is it a future filled with love, joy, and abundance? If you are feeling content or happy, appreciating life, speaking kindly, and noticing all the good there is to see, you are investing in a beautiful future. If you are focused on all that is going wrong and who has wronged you, you are investing in a future filled with more of the same.
Most of you have a mixture of energetic “investments” in the course of a day. Most of you have many more loving investments than you might realize. Even slightly more than 50% of positive investments will bring a kinder return! So your goal is not to be perfect but rather to choose to invest your time, your thoughts, your words, and above all your energy in the investments most likely to bring you what you want to experience in life.
If you were to pay more attention to how you invest your energy than to what others are doing, you would rise above the influence of others.
If you were able to invest your energy in thoughts of appreciating abundance where it can be found—counting your blessings, noticing that item you got on sale, delighting in the penny from heaven—then you are investing in an increasingly abundant future.
The good news is that you can change your energetic “investment strategy” in a single moment. Suppose you are having a challenging day. Everything appears to be frustrating you. You can stop for a moment. Pause. Take a few deep breaths and look for something to appreciate. Most of you have stable ground beneath your feet. Most of you eat well every day. Most of you have good people in your life. Most of you have read an inspiring quote that elevates your spirit or have a song that lifts you when your energy is low.
Simply switch your investment from thoughts of frustration to thoughts of appreciation. Then go back to the things that frustrate you with new energy. They may still be frustrating, but you’ll be investing in their solution again instead of the injustice of their presence. A few moments of counting your blessings can put everything in perspective.
There are times when you are lost in grief or fear. Still, you can find kind comforts for yourself. You can sit with your angels. You can call a friend. You can take a nap. Those tiny kindnesses are investments in a better-feeling moment and, over time, a better-feeling life. Even when you cannot fathom ever feeling good again, you can “invest your pennies” by choosing simple pleasures and small kindnesses. Your small investments in a kinder life will compound and help you return to feeling better over time.
Dear ones, in every moment you are investing. Do your must-dos with love. Acknowledge the unpleasant or frustrating things in life, but give them less attention and less airtime. Focus on what is working, and from that space of gratitude, conquer the challenges. Acknowledge your own feelings, of course, then choose to love yourself through them, for love is always a wise investment. When you are sad and comfort yourself, you are investing in future comforts and kindness. When you are angry and give yourself the space to be, you are investing in a future where your emotions are accepted and you are loved through them.
Not everyone and every situation will reflect your “invested” energy. Sometimes these investments take time to mature and ripen before you see the results in your life.
Nonetheless, the investments you make today with your thoughts, words, and above all, energy are defining your future returns.
God Bless You! We love you so very much.
