Are you saving or investing?

Just like financial growth, our personal growth is about whether we're saving or investing in ourselves. When in "Savings Mode" we're busy staying who and where we are with some interest accrued. On the other hand when in "Investing Mode" we're exploring ways to expand and grow further than what or who we currently are. Keep in mind that neither is the right one to be in and that we can use both modes at the same time.

The important question to ask yourself: Does that mode allow me to embrace my brilliance?

My birthday is coming up really soon and this question takes on a lot more significance; I look at my natal day as being a time to consciously reflect and choose who do I want to be this coming year?

And my portfolio needs more investing this year!

A lot more play and fun tops this year's list! Letting go of the material stuff I've accrued over the years that I don't use/love/want check (my dad, who recently moved, strongly suggests this). I'm going to learn how get really good at doing the hula hoop ("K"---Jeopardy, here I come!). Those cabaret style belly dancing classes I've wanted to take for years consider done--the belly dancing outfit I have has been sitting in my closet way too long! I'm also adding traveling by plane somewhere, perhaps using the passport I need to get!

You don't have to wait for your next birthday to check your portfolio!
