This is a very short blog but I hope it could also mean something to you as it did to me. So I asked some people back then to share their views about being happily single and when entering the phase of new love. And here’s one that stood out for me. He said, “think of it as investing.” It seemed interesting from my personal point of view as well since I was going through the same process but why investing? He explained further, “do not invest big on your initial trading. Though love isn’t a trade-off. But sure you give something and you get something. May not be of the same value. Think of it that you will not invest without a thorough study of the company. Learn and get to know the person into the deep. Do not give in easily with what it offers or can offer. Invest only with what you can lose. Think of it as you have a buy/sell limit or power. Do not give what you cannot afford. You can’t give what you don’t have. Think of it as taking risks and you have a risk level. If you are not sure, then don’t. Think of it that in investing there is a return. You do not gain by giving less nor by giving too much or how much you give. You gain by the value to which you put your investment.” Now that’s kinda giving me a brain-bleed. And if you’re that type of person who doesn’t have any background on investment and trading, his statement’s gonna be overwhelming to process. But since I majored in business, I got his point. Although there’s still a big question mark in my head. HOW? And WHY investment? My face must’ve sent those unasked questions, he simply said. “Know your worth.” Needless to ask for more explanation with that. Just know what you worth. But then another question bubbled in my head. I was really getting into the gist of everything he’s sharing and explanations about his point of view. So I asked how can knowing one’s worth is relevant when you talk about investing He answered, “you don’t gain by how much you put yourself out to the person you invest in, it is by how HE/SHE sets out himself/herself to you as he/she is. Not just how much he/she loves you, but how he/she will not CHANGE through the changes of time (as the value fluctuates the credibility and stability of the “company”‘s foundation are tested to stand through time.) Think of it as a lifetime invest neither you are willing to risk. Investment has risks. Remember there is a withdrawal of investment. If you think it does not guarantee you the worth you seek as you are, withdraw your investment wisely. In short invest wisely. If you lose the investment you put in, you still gain through the experience. And if you lose already and you still have “net worth to trade” withdraw, again, wisely. You lost enough not to lose all. Do not always think about what you can gain by the “value” as it is, think long term. Remember your worth as well to set your standards high. The MAN/WOMAN also knows how much to invest in you. Never settle less than your worth.” Well, enough said with that. I asked him one last time if what is one thing that he could’ve told his old self before he made a decision. And this is what he said, “You were bought with the price Jesus shed on the Cross. Always seek Counsel before investing. Ask for advice from the “experts”. Remember when to “trade”. When to “buy” – allowing the person into your life, and when to “sell” – give yourself to the person. And note that there is a “market recess”. Learn when to pause, start trading, and when to stop. Do not be easily driven by your emotion when the “trading” is good. Always be cautious. And the last thing to remember in entering into a relationship, like thinking of it as investing, is to pray and let God be involved and should be at the center of it. This is the first thing you must do before investing.”

So that’s it. I hope you picked something up from this short blog. Let me know your thoughts on this too. Feel free to comment and share if you liked this. And I hope I can post more in the next few days. More on this Love Season❤ Chow💋
