“Everything in life has a price connected to it.  There’s a price to pay if you want to make things better, and a price to pay just for leaving things as they are.”

Harry Browne

As an instructor of close quarters combat, (or “room entry tactics”, as they call it nowadays), I teach students this principal, “You have to give up something, to get something.”  It is usually in the context of exchanging one angle of fire for another, or one slab of cover for another, but it’s true in every area of life.  We all have to give up something, in exchange for something else. Oh, and you’ll also have to give up something, in order to keep what you’ve currently have.

Make no mistake, we all pay a price in life.  The only question is will you pay now for success (whether in health, finances, career or relationships), or will pay later for regrets?  I choose, (I know this will shock you), to pay now for success, in every area of life.  I’ve already made some regrets payments, they suck! I’m just now getting old enough to regret not paying for success earlier on in life.  Yeah, I’m not doing that anymore.

What’s the cost of success in health? Discipline in diet and exercise, plain and simple.

What’s the cost of success in finances? Discipline in spending, investing, and managing risk.

What’s the cost of success in career/business? Discipline in striving for excellence and peak performance.

What’s the cost of success in relationships? Discipline to put the other persons needs ahead of your wants.

Not a fan of discipline? Always looking for the lowest price?  Well, the other option is, you can put it on autopilot and POOF!! Twenty years from now you can enjoy being overweight, broke, alone, and unaccomplished. AWESOME!!

Boo yah!
