Invest in Yourself: The ROI That Changes Everything| Cele's Reflections

At the end of the day, at the end of the day, at the end of the day Hata, welcome back for Silas Reflection It's another beautiful Wednesday, slightly cold. But yeah, thank you, thank you for the fa You came, I'm so happy I think I'm so proud of myself; let me turn to your neighbor, Ask your neighbor, neighbor, what are you proud of so far this year? Personally, I'll answer my neighbor and say, "Neighbor, I am so proud." of myself for having been consistent in January, February, March, April. Crossing my fingers, Mrs. Jinx, But I'm so proud of myself—how far we've come. And yes, with that, let's get into our topic for today. Today I am alone. My heart is broken. I'm a guest, but I have my notebook and phone and a pen. Yeah, so today let me... Okay. So today we are going to be talking about how to invest in yourself. It's something I'm still learning. I'm not an expert. It's something I'm still in the midst of. I'm still learning how. Ways in which I can invest in myself as Celestine Dinda. Since no one can invest in Celestine Dinda, right? You can invest in shambas, in real estate, in crypto. I don't know Google, how can I invest in? Which coin, which coin should I take? Where, where is the best place to invest in land? Always look for ways to invest, such as money market, and others. All of them are on Google, they are online. And you can do all those things. But then nobody can invest in you As much as you can do it for yourself. Like only me. Who can invest in me? So today we are going to discuss how some of some of the things we can do to invest in ourselves. Now the first one is how to invest in yourself. The first thing you must do is first of all change your mindset. The weight is heavy, but at the top there's only your mindset that carries you. But you have to be willing to change your mindset. Why? Because there are certain things you do in a specific way, I have finished the task of warning you. Be real. Now let's start by changing our mindset to be real. Be honest with yourself. There are things that I have been doing as Celestine. that have been preventing me from staying consistent What is stopping me from becoming a better Celestine? I remember, allow me to quote, I don't know which verse but the Bible tells us, like, God created everything. Like, I'm great today, I'm the best woman in this world am a the best in Something, X Why am I not becoming the best? So you need to change it first of all My reasoning, I need to change my mindset I need to make a change There are things within me that are stuck inside me. That's exactly what I meant when I said Selena That's how it is, that's how it was done But the instant I switch And change my mindset and start Maybe being positive Maybe doing different things in a isolated way I'll change The person I am, the person I'm becoming For example There is a, there, there, there, when, when the year begins, when the mwaka starts Everyone's been sharing their goals, and I know by now we're in April. There are people who fear falling off, you're falling off your, So when the year began, I wanted to be drinking water, I want to be working out, I want to be getting to work early. By 8 a.m. at the office, I had set up my desk, just like the one I had arranged. But then, the end of the month of Kanku, when it concludes in December, Kaleka mindset, kalasti ya kangu, ah, ni kazi unafanya hivo na siyako, You're welcome, my friend, I'm here, like. Your mindset, first of all, must change to I can become A better Celestine, I can become a better person. I'm making this clear—I'm writing down these rules. Whatever I want to be doing, I have to stick to that. Because I have to become a new person. So you must, and it's okay—it happens to anyone—you might feel like. I might not, I cannot be it. Nasema 8, nanajambi ulala. I want to join the gym, how do I sign up? You can change and become that new person. Imagine, it has to begin here. Celeste, I love mornings, but no, I'm going to be an early riser. I love this, but no, so shift your mindset. No matter what it is, unajambianga, oh, the little one who causes trouble, I can be so and so, I can be the best at anything in the office. Change. Start seeing I can. Not I cannot. I can. I can become better. I can do this. I can do this. I can do it now. I can do it in 2025, not 2027. Okay? Yes. And then the next thing is you must change your environment. I'm sorry, but yes. And the environment among your friends, Who are you hanging out with in your group of friends? Like anything that surrounds you Because I am the way I am due to something There must be a reason. For example, who do you hang out with? Who are the ones talking about each other, what do they discuss? If there are people who talk about investing in the money market When should I invest in the money market? Somehow, Wataku's influence. If your environment is full of people who talk a lot, ah, my gym will be packed. My name is Nisha Zoe, and, uh, the gym is for what kind of work? They will influence you to become that person. So if I want to become a better person, if I am investing If I want to be different in 2025, then I need to change my environment. Start with the people I'm hanging out with. I am sorry. What did you say, Nichama? Did you hear the noise after the crowd? Good. Are my colleagues helping me in a way? Are they pushing me to become a better player? Ama, are they pulling me down? Am I gaining anything? Start with that. Change=# your mindset. Change your environment. So you can ask yourself questions like Where am I spending the most of my time? Am I spending it at the gym? Okay. I am dedicating myself to the gym. So are the people at the gym helping me? encouraging me to keep working out and eating clean? Imagine everyday Una meeting her trainer Kwame, Imagine Mukupwa, imagine continuing endlessly, a friend like that knife, Seli achana na iyo chapati, you are moving on nicely. So they are helping me, the people I meet with every day. But Kama ni Walo Asewa, who meets every hour. I hear the Miata, ah, I hear it roaring, ah, I hear it, You'll find yourself, even you, complaining all the time, minasikia. You'll be complaining. At some point, you'll be complaining. But meet with people who are grateful. We talked about being grateful. Every time I'm happy. I'm happy, Leo Niko Sawa. I'm happy, Leo nime. He is the one who started it. I was influenced by Kujipata. At the end of the day, we are all the same. They might pull you. The environment might inspire you to become a better person. You are the one who is being blamed. To be honest. Mtutupua The same thing by changing your environment I'm sorry, a better person That is what I mean by mtupua The same point, changing your environment also means changing the place. Place. Where do I hang out? Where am I going? After work, do I pass by that pub? I am in a bad mood. But after work, where should I go? By the way, you need to sit down and analyze yourself. Because your intention is to invest in yourself. After work, I start the day nicely. The meeting was held on time at the office. How are my colleagues at the office? Are they helping? Are they pulling me? To become a better person. Every day I do my best to achieve things. We ate what we did. Every day, he goes to the office. I know. So start by changing that. Where am I going after work? I need to prepare for my next day at home. We're going to tell a story down here There's a story, please help me with it. I know you're wasting time. So you need to change. Your people, your surroundings, the places you go. Like you need to be. aware that this thing is not helping me So I'm not investing in myself. In fact, I'm just wasting myself. then the next thing you need to do is Change your habits Your habits must change. I know you're in a comfortable space. Let me tell you something for the last Which episode is this? Yes, the hill I don't know which year I said I'm going to start therapy. I started therapy this year. Of course, I had a session, and the therapy was for what job? What am I going to do? like nenda kuambiwa But then By the end, Vanya Nilingia therapy, Oh my God, really? You, Celestine, just need life coaching. Like, you have to be. We need to teach you how to live. Because you're not having a problem with It's just that you're not Shape your life To be a person And let me tell you I think that's one thing I did this year Investing in myself To obtain Why do I do this thing? Why is Why is the knife sharp? Personally, I love procrastinating. A lot Yes, it is Knows On your way to work I can be I have time to do this right now. But I'm better off saying I will do it next week Ah, please do it tomorrow. Ah, sister, sister, what a sight. So that is one thing. I know I need to work on procrastination. Because the instant I say I'm working on it tomorrow, That thing is inside my mouth. So, Nashina said, tomorrow I'll do it, tomorrow I'll do it, Tomorrow, do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, do it tomorrow. Yet, at this hour, I will finish it myself, I'll be there tomorrow when I tell you. Since you have tomorrow's worries, you're experiencing anxiety, It's not about stress. A good example, unakamtao, you've done this, this, and this. I'll do it, even if you don't say so, ah, it'll be done next week. Do you know it's going to keep bothering you, It's going to be at the back of your head, That next week I'll be leaving. Yet, you were there, you were the one who made it happen for all of us. Simple things like this one, small habits that you do, And you don't know why you do them, so you need to change them. You need to change them. Maybe you need to see someone. to tell you why you do these things in a certain way. Now that you've returned to your family, Ask your mom, ask your parents, Ask all these people why we are doing this in a certain way. Yet, this story of yours is about procrastinating things, My anxiety has been overwhelming, but I've managed to stay a well-planned person. You are a well-organized person. Because if I don't do it today, tomorrow will have its own burdens. Nisha will be on the go with something tomorrow. Kesho isha anza kukuwa, Like, I've already done it, I'll do it today. He was just a human being, after all. Something else that you think you need what to do when you're investing in yourself. You might need to invest in new skills. Because. Like right now, well, I found a place like the best place where I need to be. I am not able to compose a poem here, but I can help you with a good poem. You're the one who told me about the behind-the-scenes. I think I'm going to look for someone to teach me how to sit properly. when performing my shows. So I am going to invest in myself. I, I, I, I meet a guest, story Inabamba, Conversation in the life story, Napata nime, sivi baya, but there's a way, you know, I can see it, which maybe, personally, It's okay, but I feel like I need to invest more in myself, in acquiring additional skills. on how to host, more skills on how to ask questions, so I'm, Giving you my examples that I feel, personally, if I had worked On those, I'm going to become a better Sele through Sele's reflection. You, the one with the gaze, the one who watches, even you, you know, Maybe Kunaka did something, but I know I've perfected the skill. It's good to have a side job, it helps me earn extra income. You know, she didn't help me, and I didn't help those around me who were struggling, you know? How many times do we find ourselves in an emergency situation, Maybe at the church, or at the school meeting, or at the traffic jam, Listen, anyone who is a nurse or a doctor, Help me, please? No problem. But I hear what you're saying, I know how, I can do it faster. Like, I really needed that skill, it would've helped. Help each other, support one another, assist a person. Vitu, just like a fasted one, raised his legs strtok. Sijui what, simple things that we can learn which can help us. Love the people around us, mostly ourselves in the future. but you never, you just kind of, ah, misinambio, misinapresha. You've either finished your task, or you've finished the job. I can't find a job online, and I'm running out of time. I will make a short course. Not necessarily the expensive ones. By the way, we have free courses online. We have many free skills available online. How many people have you had like Samali learn Kupaka makeup on YouTube? Edited from YouTube? Just like we have so many free skills we can learn online. But because utaki kuinvest in yourself, uulitwa sheka. It seems that HR is not available. Sina shida na ma-HR. I'm just giving an example. I know this. Miniature cup. Hi, my dear friend, how are you? Paid rent. Pay now. Pay asset. I'm fine. But did you know that if you added an extra skill to yourself, You never know what might happen. I was about to explain to you the accounting aspect but I can't do that class today A centonomy of many languages There's a class we did Yeah, centonomy, I think me, Timothy, and the rest After my father passed away, I ventured into business. We are like what? You're a skilled person, invest in yourself. The only thing you can do for yourself No one can invest in you Your own thing So learn an extra skill Don't be like me—I go to work at 8, I get home at 5. And I'm okay Maybe you even have a passion To bake a cake You're kidding You bought it Invest in that skill One day You saw how COVID happened COVID or come to zip To shut down I arrived at the office at 8 a.m. and left at 5 p.m. Sayi is home full time Uleana, you're thriving Kunuase tu wali thrived completely during COVID Hey, I just learned a skill. That's a passion for baking. Suddenly, he began to sing his own song, suddenly he began to dance. I'm tired, and even though I'm working a full-time job, I still can't make ends meet. Like your daily job, what do we realize? Kumbia, I could do something else. At the same time, while I was doing my office work, I was also doing something else. So those are ways you can invest in yourself. Don't feel like adding a new skill, I'm going back Going to school for a course is a waste of time. You're investing in yourself. Then, perhaps, there are also some places, apart from skills, Besides changing Yonini, you also need to invest in knowledge. You can invest in skills or knowledge. Because sometimes we feel like, I know everything, mom, the end of the story is already known. School is difficult. I must pursue a degree, I will do a master's, I will do a PhD, I have a child, I have a family, I have... Imagine, if you want to do something, You will get time for that something. So knowledge doesn't have to be a PhD, I'm looking for school fees to pursue my master's degree, and also those short courses. What I'm saying is Ziko YouTube, Ziko Free, do them. You're going to invest in your knowledge, You're going to add skills to yourself, and you're going to add something extra, like a plus to your own self, which is something you can only do for yourself again. The other thing is to invest in your health. Most of us will make sure to get gari ikona insurance Kwanza has been comprehensive. What's up? That car is expensive. Ah, the mortgage payment was made on time No need to worry about paying the mortgage What else? Amelipa, amesecure kila kitu The camera is secure, and these ones are here Kama ni machines zake Laptops When his anger flared AmeSecure Ask whether he has insurance Hana? The most important thing is your health. How many times have you been beaten, you can't even leave the house, Tell me, what is the mistake? Tell me, what is it? Please tell me if the illness is serious. But if that time comes, when we can't make it to the job, I can't see the car here, I can't, Yet you have invested in your own business, you are secure, Insurance is fine, but your own health is what matters most. What have you done for your health, and how have you invested in it? For your health, get a good insurance policy if you can. Go to the gym, eat clean, eat healthy, take those steps, Drink water, enda at your therapy, enda massage. Like your body is the only thing that matters to all the others, zunyeza ni, Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, if I may say so. But your health. is very, very like something extremely precious, extremely important So don't forget to renew your car insurance I remember paying, I don't know what, what, what all Please place yourself somewhere else. Right in front, right in front, there is your container. You come with your job, you get your reward. Yeah, you should also prioritize your health. because if you're not there If you're not okay, then all these other things are vanity. Nothing can happen; we can't drive that car. We can't run your business the way you do it. So you need to be in a good position, you need to be at your best. for all the other things surrounding you to function. So whether it's mental health, seek guidance, seek counseling, You're feeling overwhelmed by work, right? Sometimes I don't hear the work and it's bad. I hear the menstrual flow arriving at the office, I hear it's a mess. You're the one who's been talking, doctor, so that's what you're hearing, Listen, what are you telling me? Because Umeji, Ume prioritizes your health above all else. Your health has just started to deteriorate, and it's becoming problematic. but we will notice, we focus on work, work, work, work. Another thing, there are those people who love work. They love working, like Aneza working from Sunday to Sunday. From Sunday to Sunday, his business is number one. From Sunday to Sunday, you're just messing around, you're only causing trouble, just take it easy, At the very least, Kuanga, on the day of the break, just take a rest. Sick of this, what's going on, I'm so tired, I need some rest, Listen carefully, quietly, in silence, On the day he died, how long had the pain been there? Enda check-up, enda ukonwe na doki, Hey, how are you doing, even if you're feeling okay, Just visit a doctor and get a full body check-up. It doesn't hurt because you need that health, so that you can run all these other things. That's another way of investing in yourself. At the gym, at the gym, the person listening to the gym, membership fee I told you gym, gym, by the way, I told you gym, Simanishi Wendo Liko membership. Just move your body, move your body. Amka, come here, come here, give it to me, give it to me. Move your body. You're doing more harm by just sitting. And getting everything done. Ineza is cool. Juyo, my nice little desk is on the zungu. Nikitoka on the lift to the market. It looks very nice. It's a good thing. I mean, nipowa, simbaya. But haujui ile hamu nafanyo mwili yenye iko active. Sit down, please, and take a seat at the desk. Little by little, little by little, back pain, I don't know where, I don't know where So just move your body It doesn't need to be a membership.

Invest in your relationships. Oh yes, oh yes, that's one way of investing in yourself. One day, a long time ago, What did Sujini say about the thing that she didn't know or understand? You cannot survive on your own. Yes, I know those people who live Hi, this story is about a man who has many discussions. I don't know my neighbor. In the hallway, I don't know who the next door belongs to. Of course, things and times have changed. I saw Takako's face in the mirror. You are the one who is always late He told me that the neighbor's house is on fire. But no, that's not what you said Say hello to the shopkeeper. Say hello to the watchman Have good relationships Like unajwele Wanasemanga aje, there's a saying, sijui mtu, you bury yourself On your life, something like that, I mean your relationships. When everything has been said and done, when you are gone, the people Who is with you, Ndo Watakamsa Saa, through for you, your time. What I'm trying to say is, build meaningful relationships. Meaningful ones Zenye unajuanga by the way for sure for sure If this ever happened to me right now I know I can call so and so. Ama, so and so will come through for my kids. Ama so and so will come through for me Don't worry, they won't come through for you At least you have meaningful people around you. Do you know the people who suffer? I love you You're overwhelmed, I'm here for you mentally Ajui, the child is crying This is the end, the end is near By the way, I didn't know you were so relaxed Called him this and that Juhana wasi, wau ketichini wana have meaningful Meaningful talks, meaningful conversations I don't know what it is, ah, hee, I don't know So, invest in relationships. Whether it's apokazini, whether it's anywhere Just have people, you know, by the way He was wounded at the place where he fell. I am this blood type. I know so and so, so and so, so and so will come through for me. That's a way of investing in yourself. Also, these people are the very same people who were present there. We are looking for someone who can do acupuncture. I am Apea. Please mention your name. in those large rooms where they're looking for someone who can do it You're like, ah, take so and so. Ah, take so and so. But if you invest in relationships, you will also invest in these relationships. Then some opportunities will just pass you by. You know, some problems just won't leave you alone. You're having little, little problems. I'm not calling them. I'm not. I'm not, sis, this isn't a problem, it's not a problem, but the person next to you is capable of helping you with that problem. But since you have not invested in them, Don't be selfish in your relationship together, or you'll ruin this story. So, invest in those relationships, and you'll find yourself thriving. Thriving, succeeding, having. No trouble in small, small things. You know, when they say someone who knows someone, I know someone who knows someone. Investing in a relationship.
