Investments This morning as I'm

Investments
This morning as I'm lying around the house enjoying the fact that I don't have to go to work, I was thinking. [I know you're wondering why I'm bothering to think on my day off. I don't know, I just am.] So, anyway, I was thinking about investments. Not necessarily the ones you make in the stock market. Though those did cross my mind. I was thinking more about the investments we make in other people. The way we invest things that don't have monetary value. Like time. Like emotions. Like honesty.

I'm struggling with how to invest my capital. How do I choose where to invest? How do I decide how much to invest? When do you decide to pull out before your investment isn't worth anything? Or do you stay in and even though you lose, chalk it up to a valuable experience? Should I follow my "heart" (which is just a strange and unreliable organ)? Or do I play it cool, watch the market, and eventually jumping in with everything I've got?

I think I have a track record of investing too much for too long. I need to get better at knowing when to cut my losses. I also want to be more careful about where I invest in the first place. I'm going to be careful and patient so I don't lose my shorts in the long run. And just like everyone else who wants to be rich someday, I'll keep playing the market hoping it will someday work in my favor.
