The Biggest Price To Pay

Your life is the most valuable thing, so is your personality and values. To be able at any moment to give up what you are for what you want is an extraordinary ability. You have to give up something to achieve what you want. There is never nothing for something. You have to pay the price or someone else pay it for you else you cannot afford it. If you cannot afford it, you can deserve it or someone else make you deserve it else it will not be yours. 

The salvation we enjoy today is fully paid for by someone else's blood. The freedom, democracy and free enterprise capitalism we enjoy today are paid for by people's blood during the revolutionary era and civil rights movements many many years ago. If not, maybe we would probably be working in a factory for free as a slave. People die for humanity freedom and democracy. See history for more horror of the past. 

Some things are free, but not everything. Enjoy your life's freedom and you can move to the valley and live a life of freedom in the woods if you are satisfied with the many free benefits of life. But in a bid to get more out of life, pay the price and forget the pains that comes with desiring more. The biggest cost maybe your time but this time must be invested in hard work and studying. 

No price is too big, if your life depend on it. Sound health, tremendous wealth, abundance and fulfilment, sound mind and vitality, true freedom and huge enterprise all cost much. Pay it or leave it. The biggest price is giving up what is most valuable to you to get what you want. Those who love pleasure never enjoy lasting dividend of life. Pleasure is the easiest to get but the quickest to lose and those who devote a lifetime to pleasure, get easily depressed and broken the most. 

Outline what your goals require or make up your mind to pay the biggest price. Small price to pay today coupled with a little inconvenience and the biggest price to pay later on make a great man or woman. The biggest cost for your maybe money or time or energy or any other resources.

50 Cents gave up sleep. When 50 cent was doing his hit record soundtrack video, he gave up sleep for days. When asked why he gave up sleep, he said; "I don't sleep, sleep is for people who are broke. Besides, I gat an opportunity to make a dream become a reality and you want me to blow it away", he added.

Poland countryman, Pilecki gave up his freedom during the world war. In a bid to find meaning and purpose in life during the war, Pilecki gave up his freedom by allowing himself to be arrested to rescue few people from the Nazi prison during the world war. There is no hope of a good life for people who lose in a war that lasted years. Pilecki find no hope in life but rescuing few more people gave him hope, meaning and reason for living. He never rescued anyone because of an highly secured Nazi prison. 

What are you giving up to qualify for your next biggest opportunity. And what is the biggest price to pay in order to grab that opportunity. Don't do it all at once. Do it one at a time.
