Paying the Price

Time and time again, we hear that there is a price that must be paid for any achievement in life of great value. I know that everyone reading this will eventually have to deal with a major hurdle in your journey to success, and you will need to know there is a price to pay. Therefore, my compilation of articles over the next five articles could be life changing for you.

This article I am going to focus on the first letter in the word price, “P”, which stands for persistence. Persistence is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as “to go on resolutely or stubbornly in spite of difficulties”. The #1 word here to internalize in your spirit is the word “go”! Go means to keep on keeping on when everyone else and even you may say to yourself - What am I doing? When you say something like that to yourself remember this quote “And let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart”. The key word to internalize from this citation is “reap”.

Most people have big dreams and goals, but when it is time to be persistent and go on towards reaping their harvest ninety-five percent of these big dreamers fail to pay the price. There are thousands of people who say they want to win in life and be the best they can be for God, their family and themselves! But and this is the big BUT, when the road to success gets a little tough most of these same people give up, quit or make an excuse like “it just wasn’t for me”. I would rather not go on and just focus on what I wish to reap from my work than fall victim to the mindset of “well, it just was not meant for me”!

The first letter “P” in price means to expect that you will be in a situation where it would much easier to quit than to go on and be persistent to win. Today, you need to commit to your goal and say – I know there is a price I am going to pay - I expect it -I accept the challenge - I will win -I will pay the price and put myself into that 5% ratio of people who pay the price to fulfill their ultimate Dream! Remember, you must be persistent as you pay the PRICE to achieve your Why!
