Everything in life has a price
Yes, even the seeming free
Has a price you may not see
Everything comes with a price
And that’s not just about the cost
It’s how much are you willing to pay
How bad do you want what you want?
How much are you willing to lose
For something you never want to lose?
We all love free stuff but history has taught, time and time again, that nothing in life is free. Everything comes with a tag, sometimes we see them, some others – we don’t. Sometimes, we think the price is justified, some others – we think they are overrated. Still, the choice remains ours, to buy or to walk away. But that decision depends on one the fact: how bad do we want it.
There are a couple if things we want in this New Year. Some things that need to change. Some things that need to go. There are definitely those things that we may not feel capable of shifting their direction in which case, we may not be able to do much about. And there are those that have been there, waiting for us to decide which way they have to go. Maybe this is where to start: with the things we can change.
It is time to start telling ourselves the truth: that some things won’t change until we change. Some things won’t change until we change them. What can I change about where I am right now, to get me moving to where I need to be? What has been here and is adding no value to my worth and journey – that definitely has to go. What are those that need improvement? What is the right order of priority so I can dish appropriate attention to each?
The great changes we are expecting may not arise from some big steps we are not sure of how to take. They will be activated by the small changes that we can make, here and there, every day we get the chance. Small changes that may not mean much in the here and now. Still, nothing beats the power of small changes, compounded over time.
What is that dream, that hope, that expectation you want to see accomplished this year? How bad do you want it? How much are you will to pay for what you want? How much are you willing to lose for what you seek to gain? There is no better time to start than now. Don’t wait for tomorrow: don’t push it back for later. The best time to start is now: one step at a time and we’ll live from one dream to the other.
Blessings
Glory!
