When it comes to investing, why do we feel like we need to make prudent monetary investments towards the future? The problem with investing towards the future is this: the future is uncertain, but your present today self is certain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I say that the best investing is self investing towards yourself with a more definite end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
If you buy the most innovative car, like let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s say a Tesla, that will not make you more innovative. Similarly speaking, buying the most new innovative iPhone pro won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make you more innovative either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Same things with cameras. Buying the newest most innovative camera will not make your photography any more innovative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, buying the brand new hot sneakers will not make you more interesting. I just like how buying a new all-wheel-drive car will not make you go hiking or camping any more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever we try to pull ourselves at a certain purchase is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153investment\u00e2\u20ac\u0153, it is simply an aspiration. but perhaps it is more wise to think about your real desired end, and just go straight to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if your desire is to go hiking more, just use the car you already got to go hiking more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your desires to take more photos, or find more inspiration to take photos, just leave your house with your camera and take more photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe personal innovation is the goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
