The investment years.
Whether you are a farmer, an entrepreneur, a parent, or a young person just in their first job, there are times when you put in more than you get out.
You give more time, money, love, or all three, than you get back.
They are getting more out than you are.
You may feel like that are getting the thin edge of the stick.
But your investment years are perhaps the most important of all the years.
Like a farmer, you will reap what you sow.
Chase the dream, the money will come.
The crops will come.
The hugs from the kids will come.
The career will bloom.
In a society that wants instant gratification, the investment years are the opposite.
Years of hard old slog, of putting in more than you take out.
Then one day day, things change.
Every hour invested, every small detail that you sweated over, every ounce of you that put in over odds starts to work its way back to you.
You reap what you sow.
Do invest in you.
