Investment

Investing does not always mean putting money on the table. More often it means giving your time and your energy to take the first steps down a path. By putting time and energy in, you are effectively getting a steam locomotive moving.

First energy has to go in, in the form of coal that gets shoveled in to bring a boiler of water hot enough to make steam, so the engine can be driven. That is when you get energy back, the energy that sets everything moving and drives the locomotive.

This is how the angels see it when we invest our time and effort in a plan by doing the research and taking the first small steps in the right direction. Shoveling the coal to get the energy going. After that the universe can take over and bring you everything you need to carry the plan out.

The steam that sets the machine working. So do not abandon a plan before you start just because you think it will come to nothing. Begin, and see how things develop. Often everything falls into place before you ever have to commit to anything or invest financially.
