Nothing in this life is free; You have to earn everything you get; Or someone else has to earn it and gift it to you.
A dream worth having is worth working and paying for. You have to realize if you really want something it is going to cost you.
If you want to be fit, you have to be willing to pay the cost of working out, which means gym memberships, coaches etc. You also have to pay for good nutrition , supplements , equipment, gym clothes and much more.
If you want to be a doctor you have to pay the cost of undergrad and medical school, with countless long days, sleepless nights, study sessions, clinic hours and more.
Nothing in this life is truly easy. I meet a lot of people who suffer from a mentality of entitlement. They want something but they don't want to put any work in.
But life doesn't work that way. To get something out you have to put something . If you have a savings account you put money in it first then later you can make a withdraw. A farmer sows his seeds, nurtures them , then reaps a bountiful harvest. Too many of us are trying to pull up crops when we didn't plant any and then are disappointed that we come up empty handed.
In this lesson you simply need to find out clearly what the price is for what you want out of life and then make the commitment to pay it daily.
The bible says only a fool would start something and not first count the cost.
When making my new album I knew how much it would cost before starting and then budgeted appropriately; otherwise I would end up with a half finished product , which would be unusable to me .
Whatever you decide to do , know it will cost you something . If you are not willing to pay the cost, whether it be not seeing people, or working long hours, or shelling out your hard earned money, then don't do it. It's ok to find out the cost and say it's too much and you are unwilling to pay, but if you decide to go on then at least you know what it costs and you can't complain when it's hard, difficult or painful. No pain, no gain. But there is a sweet reward; with interest paid for your effort should you choose to pay into it first!
An old blues song said "Paid the cost to be the boss!" True! If you want to be the boss it will cost you, but it might just be worth it, if that’s what you really, really want.
