Are You Willing To Pay The Price?
Everything that you want to achieve has a cost associated with it; everything you want to achieve has an equal and opposite price that you’re going to have to pay if you truly want that thing.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“The rare people in your life who root for you to hit your goals are more valuable than the goals themselves.”
EVERYTHING HAS A COST
357 Words | 1 Min 18 Sec Read
Everything that you want to achieve has a cost associated with it; everything you want to achieve has an equal and opposite price that you’re going to have to pay if you truly want that thing.
You want a lot of money? That's going to cost you time, energy, and relationships.
You want a dream physique? It’s going to cost you your comfort and instant gratification and require sacrifices to be made.
If you want the opportunity of a lifetime, it's going to cost you, and until you realise that you need to pay the price for the things that you want to achieve, you won’t achieve those things.
This is a principle that won’t come easy; if there was a physical price tag on what we wanted, it would be simple! Pay the price tag, and we get the thing, but the problem is that we don’t know what the price tag is.
The fact that there is a cost to every goal is what makes the goal worthwhile because if becoming a world-class athlete didn’t require you to make countless sacrifices, have grit that 99% of people don’t have, and train for decades to get to that point, then everyone would become a world-class athlete.
So next time you’re in a dark place while working towards certain goals, just know that the place that you’re in is the cost you’re paying to achieve your goals.
On the other side, however, next time you wonder why you’re not in the place you want to be, ask yourself the question, ‘Am I paying the necessary cost in order to get there?’ Because if you’re not, you’ve found the reason why.
Your best next step from here is to get comfortable with paying the cost. Get comfortable with the idea that nothing in life is free, and more often than not, it requires you to make sacrifices and give up things you wouldn’t have dreamed of in order to achieve what you truly want.
The more comfortable you get with paying the price, the easier the prize come.
TAKEAWAYS:
Everything you want to achieve has a cost associated with it, and in order to achieve those things, you have to become comfortable with paying that price.

LESSON OF THE DAY ⤵️
You need to become more comfortable with silence.
You can’t be waking up consuming twitter & going to bed watching Netflix.
Doing nothing and enjoying the silence is when the ideas start to flow out of you.
