What to invest in that always pays.

As I am studying to become a financial advisor I realize that I already know the true meaning of wealth before ever picking up a book. Over the past few years I have had the privilege to meet and work with numerous people in outreach and the community. Watching these individuals has brought new perspective on what is important to me and those around me. Although money can accomplish much in the right hands, it is the hands and in fact the person who matters most. What I have learned is that there are two types of investment, monetary and real. And what I mean by real, is investment in people. This is not necessarily done through money, but always with great care and concern. I have seen many with much and yet their human investment and return, amount to so little. Never has one penny brought me comfort or eased a burden, but the friends and family I have bring great joy and peace. I have witnessed those wanting with little money, reap mountains of human interest and received the dividend of love and compassion. In the end I understand that the human investment is a greater and smarter choice everytime. An example of this is our Converge pastor, whom everyone lovingly calls Jan. She is an expert on investing in people and if you ever see her with our group, you would know that the care she is sowing is growing and will become a great dividend when it is needed in the future. If you were to ask many of her flock, they would say that they would do almost anything for her. Money would become no object and that is the moral, to invest wisely one must not just look at dollars and sense but the human factor. What you invest in, is just as, if not more important than simply investing.
