What is the Price you are paying?

From time to time we are tempted to look at what someone else has in their life. And from this stems many thoughts and nine times out of ten when we are looking at someone that 'seemingly' has more, more luck, more money, more 'things' we get a feeling of jealousy.

I am sure you can all relate to having experienced that at some stage or another throughout your life, after all, most of us have been brought up to believe that 'money is evil' or that 'money doesn't grow on trees' or even 'all the money in the world will not make them happy'. Of course these are stories that have been passed down by generations of people who believe that success is somehow reserved for 'someone else', some how outside of their circle of influence.

You know the only thing that separates these 'successful' people from everyone else is the fact that they have simply made a choice about what they want to Be what they want to Do and what they want to Have in life and go and set about taking the necessary actions it will take to succeed in what ever it is they have chosen to become successful in.

Did it come easily to these people that have chosen to succeed? More than likely not, most people do not see what goes on behind the scenes of a successful person, they either choose to be blind to it or would rather believe that it is by some strange force that only a few people have. This way they can put off taking responsibility for where they are in their own existence, or in some cases sub-existence.

Another thing that separates these successes is the fact that once they have made their decision they cut off from any other possible outcome. They have a knowingness about where they are headed. They know beyond doubt that they will succeed.

Because of this knowingness they are willing to take the action necessary to fulfill their desired outcome, is this comfortable? No. Is this an easy thing to do? No. Would it be considered unreasonable by most people? Yes, and this is more than likely why most people choose not to be successful.

So what is the price you are paying?

Successful people pay the price of ridicule and shortsightedness of others, they know that the short term, loss, pain, call it what you like, is worth the outcome. So they take action
They would rather invest the time now, even if that is two to three years, what ever, than spend their whole life comparing themselves to someone else, someone who may or may not have it all together. They would rather live their life on purpose!

So again I ask, 'What is the price you are paying?'
