Creating Investment Habits For A Lifetime of Success

To shy away from investing simply because it seems complicated or difficult to learn would be to miss out on a great adventure, one which would offer an entertaining and insightful path towards financial independence and the pursuit of excellence.

The area where most people run into trouble is in the thought that investing is something distant from their every day life. In fact the majority of people are completely unaware of the fact that investing is something they do on a regular basis, whether they realize it or not.

Millions of people around the world invest in various things day in and day out without even thinking twice about what the actualized returns will be. Time and money are invested each day in things like Food, Education, Children, Cars, Entertainment and the list goes on.

The hopes of every sensible investor is to receive in value as much as or more than that which you have spent. For example, if we invest time into our education our hopes are that one day the rewards of an increased intelligence in a certain field will help increase the overall quality and value of our every day life (and possibly even the lives of others). Were we to invest in entertainment, say for instance buying a "ticket" at the movie theatre, we are investing with the hopes that the joy we receive will be equal to or greater than the value of an $8 dollar movie ticket.

So as we come to realize that investing is something we do on a daily basis, an aspect of life which permeates all things both monetary and otherwise, it becomes our responsibility to start deciding where and how we want to invest our energy to maximize the quality of our choices and the impact they have on our life.

So you might ask why so few people are investing in ways that can bring them financial growth, when they are clearly investing in so many other areas of their life. Finding this answer will help create a dynamic shift in the way you move forward on your path towards financial growth. Professional "Investors" spend cash to make cash, the rest of the population spends cash to receive things other than cash (ex. movie tickets, education, food, clothing, etc.)

These items that we spend our hard earned cash on often times stand as a gap between our financial security. If you had the opportunity to choose between investing: 1) 65 dollars cash, in return for 95 dollars cash each and every Saturday evening or 2) Buying a new shirt and a new pair of pants every Saturday evening.

Which would you choose?

You see Investors are keenly aware of not only where their money is going, but how to utilize their money in order to maximize the amount of cash they will receive in return when their money comes back to them. Whether or not we choose to educate ourselves when it comes to investing our hard earned money, well that's not something that can be forced upon anyone. Investing must be a decision made based on a genuine interest to achieve a higher standard of financial excellence. Once we realize that we're all investors, and that investing is something we have done and will continue to do until the day we die, the decision to become a well informed Investor becomes that much easier.

Future articles I write may have more informatino on how you can invest and what your options are as an aspiring investor. Until then invest in your future by taking some time to ponder the essence of the daily investor, and how your life will be effected by your decision to pursue a broader understanding of the wide world of investments.
