Everything comes with a price

Everything in this life comes with a price. Simply. The price is rarely as significant monetarily as it is energetically. SO, this is where we each need to begin, as we weigh the decisions of our lives. What price must I spend in order to achieve or gain what it is I say I want?

One person states clearly, I want to lose twenty pounds. Okay. Truly? Are you prepared? Are you prepared to stop consuming the amount or types of foods that got you to where you are today? Are you prepared to move your body more than you already do? Even possibly embark on some sort of regular exercise activity? Are you prepared to politely say "No, thank you.” Without a lot of drama or explanation when offered foods/desserts that will not support you in achieving your goal? Really? Because what I find mostly is people who say they WANT to lose weight, but they truly are not interested in taking the action that will bring the desired result.

Now the above is a simple example.

But let’s use it as a guideline. Are we willing to be the compassionate listener that our partner currently requires in order for us to keep, or even GET a relationship?

Are we willing to give up our weekly nail appointment to be a more attentive mother?

None of these questions are meant as judgments, simply as examples. There are prices to pay in this life.

It is time as individuals we look squarely at what we say we want and be willing to line up ALL the costs to ourselves and possibly our loved ones, so that we can clearly determine whether or not these are prices we are willing to pay.
