Your Greatest Asset is Yourself

Usually I just bounce around articles here, but I'll write an original post for once.

Your Greatest Asset is Yourself

As we go through the financial collapse, you must remember this fact: Your greatest asset is yourself. I don't remember where I read this, but it was many years ago and it was in regards to investments, and the idea has stuck with me. What this means is that the best way to spend your capital is to invest in your greatest asset, yourself. This means learning, both written knowledge and experiential, such as learning latin or to scuba dive or play guitar or drive a boat or jump out of an airplane with a parachute or fly the airplane. Everything you do to enhance your being enhances the value of yourself, your greatest asset.

They can take everything you have, or you can lose it. Everything, except, your self. It just so happens that your greatest asset is yours and always will be. When you stand naked in the shower you are still you. You have lost nothing because you are yourself and material objects are strictly irrelevant. This is the dirty little secret they don't want you to know about. Money, while nice, doesn't gauge you as a person. Money is kind of like a power tool in the sense that you use it, and it makes your labor easier, but it is just a tool. It isn't YOU. So taking that vacation to mexico and riding those 4-wheelers enhances you, which is an investment. Stacking up your 401k does nothing, in fact, it wastes your potential, it hides away your labor. Buying a boat and going fishing enhances you, but bragging about it does not. Knowing how to shoot a gun enhances your value, but talking about a strong American military force does not. Knowing what money is enhances your greatest asset's worth, but acquiring lots of it does not.

When it gets really bad out there in a few years, you will find many people around you who are scared shitless because everything they've been taught will be found out to be a fraud. And, all their ideas about their value, a.k.a. their wealth, will be be ripped from them. But if you understand that your greatest asset is yourself and it can't be taken from you then you have THE SHIELD. It will pass you over like the wind does while you are sitting on the beach with a cocktail.

Live. Learn. Love. Laugh.

Living uses your greatest asset. Learning enhances your greatest asset. Loving shares with others your greatest asset. Laugh... why not? Laughing is a part of Living.

  1. Always remember that sharing your positive attitude with others is catching. Negativity does the same thing. Which do you want to be remembered by?
