Hi b_nderz
Whether we're investing time, money, a sense of wonder or imagination or something else, it becomes about the payoff. Is what we're investing in of value? Will I grow, gain or learn something from it?
- If I invest time and research into some form of greater self understanding and self development, what's the payoff?
- If I invest time and money into a course that interests me, what's the payoff?
- If I invest my full attention into understanding a certain concept or even completely changing one of my belief systems, what's the payoff?
etc etc.
Of course, not always easy to gain a true sense of something's value or worth to us until we've made that investment. Another thing to keep in mind involves other people's opinions. While we may invest our time and attention into something everyone else deems as being 'ridiculous', such a thing could end up producing a massive payoff for us, personally.
What do you see or feel value in? It could involve coming here to the forums, connecting with others who can relate, research of some type, daydreaming on occasions (visualising), a particular career path or something else. It can be so challenging to sit and consciously think about such a thing, exactly what we find value in. Sometimes it can be about what we feel as being valuable (whether something feels like it has potential). Sometimes it can actually take a group of brain-stormers to offer us a whole range of things to choose from, for we're not always conscious of what we find valuable until someone finally points it out.
