The Price of Progress: Understanding the True Cost of Self-Improvement
I believe there’s a cost to everything
And by cost…
I don’t just mean money
I mean time
I mean effort
I mean energy
I mean sacrifice
I remember when I first started setting goals for myself
To change my thinking
To level up my energy
To get in better shape
To improve my career
To making my relationships better
I’d always ask
“What’s the PRICE I have to pay in terms of time, effort, sacrifice and money to achieve this result?
It’s a question that forces you to do a little research and a lot of thinking
But here an even BETTER question
“AM I WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE?”
Because its your WILLINGNESS to pay the price that’ll ultimately decide whether you achieve those goals of change or not
And thats pretty much the ONLY difference between those that transform their lives and those that stay the same
The willingness to ‘invest’ energy, time, effort and sometimes cash into doing the work required
And you’ll know which one you are and what you’re currently doing about it
But here’s the MAD thing you have to realise too
There's a cost to doing NOTHING too
The cost of doing nothing?
Everything staying the same
Including
How you think
How you feel
And how you act
