Invest Thoughts, Time, and Money

Step by step

1. Become aware of how you use your thoughts, time, and money.
2. Identify any instances of 'spending' (wasting without expectation of return).
3. For every thought, moment of time, or unit of money, consciously decide to 'invest' it.
4. Direct your thoughts (inner speech) towards your wish fulfilled, your time towards productive actions, and your money towards beneficial ends, always expecting a return.

Consciously direct your thoughts, time, and money with the expectation of a positive return, rather than wasting them. Treat every mental and physical resource as an investment towards your desired outcome.

“Stop spending your thoughts, your time and your money. Everything in life must be an investment,” And I so loved it, I incorporated that thought in the chapter, “The Coin of Heaven,” in my book, “Awakened Imagination.” She would be the first to confess, although it came through her, and it was her revelation from God to her, -- shared with me, and I shared it through the written form with those who read it in the book, -- but she is the first to confess she never applied it. ... To “spend” is to put off without hope of return; to waste. To “invest” is expecting a return on your equity. There must be a return on equity when you invest. Well, we are told: “Stop spending your thought, your time and your money.” Time must produce some return. It is precious. Your thought is speech; it must be actually invested, not wasted. And your money. Everything must be invested, and not wasted.

This technique emphasizes intentionality and the law of cause and effect. By consciously 'investing' one's inner and outer resources, one ensures a desired return, as opposed to 'spending' them without purpose, which leads to waste.
