When we encounter obstacles in our lives, we encounter a transaction; a price must be paid to continue in a direction and we must decide what it is we are willing to pay. It would seem our minds are predisposed to recognize the immediate cost of continuing towards our goal but we do not recognize that price that is paid for not following through, perhaps because it is long term residual, perhaps because it is less 'urgent' than the other or perhaps because it really isn't clearly defined what we must pay for NOT doing what needs to be done. Whatever the reason, remember that there is always a price to pay for every choice, for every action and for all inaction.

The two sacrifices can be compared to a relationship gone wrong; hold on to a person and hurt a little every day or experience the agony for a short time and move on? Most people will choose to avoid intense pain rather than gain the pleasure that may come after it. Our choice of action in relation to our goals is similar in this way that sometimes an immediate sacrifice is required and we choose to forego this sacrifice, neglecting to realize that the dull and discomforting pain of inaction, doubt and worry lingers over our heads for much longer. Look into your heart and into the core of your goals and decide whether or not you would be willing to make the necessary sacrifices. If you prepare yourself today, then the price may not be so weighty.

"Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything."-Harry Browne
