You can be the greatest in your field, break the world record, lose weight, get published and become a bestselling author. You can marry your loved one, graduate summa cum laude, become as rich as you want while you live the life of your dreams.

You could be free from anxiety, live a healthy and happy life.

You can be all that you want to be if you answer this question.

Are You Willing To Pay The Price?

Most people in life desire the good things of life.

They want good grades and they want a good job.
They want to look good and a body that is in shape.
They want to be happy and they want financial security.

They want all these things but they don’t really want to work for them. They will back out at the slightest pain or challenge to their getting it. They will quit. They will give up. They will believe the lie that it is impossible. They will say that it is hard.

They want it to be easy instead of working to become better. They want to take shortcuts instead of following the true and tested path of hard work to success. They don’t want to give up their wrong habits and form new ones that will make the achievement of their goal faster and easier.

They don’t want to focus and stay committed to their goals.
They don’t want to give it their 101%.

The truth is, nothing in life is free.

The world operates like a market place. You get only what you pay for. Nobody will give you anything on credit. You have to pay for it. Imagine I left this article blank and asked you at the end to please share and recommend it to your friends, and the, when I got one thousand shares, I wrote the article. Ridiculous, right? The same principle applies in life.

To become anything you have to pay the price in doing what you have to do to become what you want to become. The problem we always have is people that want the rewards, the benefits and the pleasure without paying the price.

You have to add and provide value in exchange for monetary rewards. You have to put in hours at the gym before you get ripped. You have to put in hours and hours of study time before you can get all A’s. You have to put in 10,000 hours of time into any endeavour before you become an expert in that field. Over and over again, the principle is the same.

You pay the price to enjoy the benefits.

And only you can pay the price; no one can pay the price for you.

You have to want it and really want it. You have to be willing to give up your wrong habits and from new ones that will help you get what you want. You have to make a decision that you will not stop no matter what, that you will become unstoppable. You have to tell yourself the truth
and stop giving excuses.

You have to put in the work and be willing to do whatever it takes. You have to be willing to endure pain and enjoy the process. You have to stay focused and positive all the way. You must not quit and never believe in impossibility.

You have to say no to the good so that you can say yes to the better and best of opportunities. You have to believe that you can. You have to be willing to invest your time. You have to understand your why. You have to have a clear mental picture of the end before you start. You have to be willing to never look back when you eventually make the commitment.

You have to find out what the price is and be willing to pay whatever the price is.

No discounts
No shortcuts.
No negotiations
No crash courses.
No easy ways and hacks.

You could be the greatest, break the world record, lose weight, get published and become a bestselling author.

You could marry your loved one, graduate summa cum laude, become as rich as you want while you live the life of your dreams.

You could be free from anxiety, live a healthy and happy life.

You can achieve anything in life if you are willing to pay the price.

The choice lies right before you.
