Often we set our hearts on a goal or something we would like to have in our lives and we consistently fail to realize it.
For some inexplicable reason we stumble and the dream never materializes.
We look back and blame external circumstances or people and events.
For a select few they also look within and see that their own habits, thoughts and actions played a role in not achieving what they wanted.
There is a very fundamental question you should be asking yourself in these circumstances.
Was I willing to pay the price? Paying the price of having your goal involves more than merely going through the motions.
It requires a deep unyielding commitment to achieve your goal no matter what it costs you in terms of money, time, habit changes, thought pattern changes and release of unserving beliefs and activities.
It's that extra push of energy that a champion exerts to win a race or the last steps of a grueling walk to freedom.
There is also something very special about "the price.
" The price is personal its not based on what others have done to achieve what you want.
The price is solely determinate on what you have to do to achieve your goal and nothing else.
Your price might be more or less than what is required of another individual.
You lose ground when you start making comparisons.
Another person's actions and thoughts can serve as a guidepost but they should never be set up as the standard for what is necessary to achieve YOUR goals.
Your price is personal and should always be treated as such.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself when you have to work harder to achieve something.
There are a great deal of things you do with minimal effort that others struggle through.
Remember this and reexamine your recent setbacks to see if you were really paying YOUR price.
