Paying yourself is when you take a portion of money earned just for your enjoyment, say buy something for you.
Paying yourself is very important for reasons we are going to see below;
Recently I was talking to personal finance expert after being frustrated for not enjoying my job
This is what I realised;
- If you don’t pay yourself you will get the impression that you are working for nothing. All the income that comes in is paying for this and that, nothing left for you.
- If I don’t love myself enough to give myself what I need I won’t be able to help or make someone else happy or satisfy anyone I am to serve. Be generous to yourself, pay yourself an amount equivalent to what you would have earned when fully employed.
- Your motivation will be as result of the things you do for you after you get that pay cheque. You are really working for something.
The lesson in this was self love to motive you.
“Love others as you love yourself “ comes to mind.
Be blessed.
