What is the absolute best investment you could make? Eitan Sharir says it’s not a financial one - it’s the investment you make in yourself. And he’s not talking about more education or more letters behind your name. He is talking about the inner you, the centered, stable self inside that needs to have emotional maturity and strength in order to wisely handle the stress and demands of the world. On this episode, you’re going to hear Eitan share his own story - how he discovered his own need to invest in himself. You'll also learn what he’s done to make that investment consistently throughout his adult life. He says it’s the best investment he’s ever made and believes it will be for you, too. The best investment doesn’t have to do with money. It has to do with yourself. When you think of investments you are thinking in terms of putting something to work in order to receive a greater gain in return. We seem to easily think in those terms when it comes to financial investments or education. But when it comes to developing ourselves, we don’t see the correlation as easily. But the best investment you can make is in your own inner health. You need the stability to handle the pressures of life calmly and with wisdom - and that takes investing in yourself, systematically, over time. Eitan shares the benefits of making that commitment, on this episode - so be sure you listen.  How can people who are educated and successful resort to behaving like a 3-year-old? You’ve seen it happen. The person in charge of a meeting at work or with many degrees and accomplishments flies into a tirade when things don’t go their way. How is it possible that someone so recognized and accomplished could behave in such a way? It’s because our culture has spent so much time focusing on intellectual and skill development and so little time on inner emotional development. The two need to be integrated in order for a truly healthy human being to emerge. On this episode, Eitan shares what it means to make investments in yourself, what it looks like practically, and why you need to do it. You’ll be intrigued by what he has to share. Investing in yourself requires daily commitment. You might listen to this episode and agree that the best investment you can make is in yourself. You might be motivated to get started right away. But make sure you understand this - investing in yourself is a long game. You can’t be hit and miss about it and expect to see much in the way of positive results. It takes daily work, daily practice to see the benefits. Just like any discipline, this one requires your time, attention, and mastery - over time. Find out the practical things you can do daily to invest in yourself, on this episode. What happens in your life when you actually make the investment in yourself? You truly won’t believe the difference daily investments in yourself make to your life. You’ll find yourself able to detach from the circumstances of life in order to assess them wisely, without reaction, without a feeling of threat or insecurity. You’ll be able to see that you are entirely separate from the circumstances you face and can then make better decisions and treat people with more kindness and gentleness. Those are just some of the benefits that come from making the best investment you can make - an investment in yourself. Find out more on this episode.
