When you get better at relationships, your entire life becomes more connected. When you get better at managing your money, your entire life becomes more stable. When you get better at managing your reactions, things last.
They last because you know how to take care of them. Because you first learned to take care of you. You are the most constant relationship in your own life, and the most constant presence in your own life. You are the most common denominator in every experience you ever had, and will ever have.
Invest in yourself and the ripple effects are often greater than you can imagine. Remember, you get to decide who you want to be. What you are going to value, what is going to matter. You get to choose, and cultivate the kind of person you're going to become, because an amazing life rarely happens by accident. You are your own vessel, and the way you build it changes the way you experience everything- every last thing that will ever come your way.
You are the key element of every single thing you will ever see and feel and know, and that is why it matters. The variable is not whether or not the future will arrive, it will. The choice is what version of you shows up to meet it.
