Hello!

I would like to share with you today price paying. Nothing comes from nothing every thing in life has a price tag and life runs no bargain. It is like a supermarket. You either pay for want you want or you step out. However we live in dangerous times, where many people want to do little and earn more, worse they want to do nothing and have or achieve something great. It doesn't work that way in reality.

Since the dawn of time price has been at the center of everything that man has achieved before and after civilization. The price of different things is not the same but is always part of everything. And the best way to handle it is to pay it. They say no sweat no sweet. Price is not a pleasant thing but it is a principle thing.

I googled the definition of price and this is what I got;
an unwelcome experience or action undergone or done as a condition of achieving an objective.
eg.
"the price of their success was an entire day spent in discussion"

"they did not seek out loneliness, but they accepted it as the price of their autonomy"

People do not seek out the pain in achieving something but they accept it as a price of their dreams. Wise people know that getting somewhere it is a process which involves price paying, they sanction the unpleasant and bear the unwelcome as necessary condition to their goal, dream, success or career. They know those who want to succeed must be prepared to pay the price.

The price to live the life we want to live is a birth to tomb discipline. We will never stop paying the price, the type and the amount of price we paying may change but not the principle of price.

The blessings.
Enough of the pain, let learn a little about the blessings of paying the price. The first and the obvious is achieving your goal or your dream. But their other blessings also in the process, which always go unnoticed by most people.

1. Learning how to redo
   When charting our path to our dream or goal we are forced to do new things. To think in a new way, we learn new skills. We come to know what works better and what does not work. We learn how the system work and how do this respond.

Thus we become competent people to address things when things go south in any other endeavour or same endeavour. You become an expert of your own experience. You are not scared, you know what it takes and how it works, you can reproduce the same results elsewhere.

1. Wisdom
   While paying the price you learn also to be wise. The lessons you learn from paying price for your own goals, dreams and success cannot be taught any where in the world. You cannot buy and you cannot google, there found in the direct contact as you work, sacrifice and experiencing the process to your goal.

Wisdom is valueable. That's is the reason when they announced job vacancy the ask of an experienced person apart from academic qualifications. Because they know there things you cannot be taught in the class. You cannot buy them, you need to experience them in the real process.

3.Patience
This also is a blessing of paying the price. Important things or goals in life are not and you cannot microwave them. No matter how good you are, talent, intelligent and networked you are. Certain things needs time to be achieved, because it is a process. And so, as you wait for the process to finish its cause, you heart learns patience which is a very important virtue in life yet it is disappearing in our society slowly but surely.

We learn patience through hardship and challenges, there's no other way. Those who have learnt to be patient know how much important this virtue is.

4.Value/ and respect
As the old saying goes "easy come and easy go"
Paying price for things we want it may be a bitter pill to swallow, but it teaches us to value the things we acquire through hard work. Easy teaches us nothing, it just makes us slack. All of us naturally wants it easy but it does not come easily.

What you produce through sacrifice and hard work it is internally connected to you like a mother and her baby. You treasure what you achieve because you know it took you time, tears and sweat, sleepless night, you had to climb mountains and go through dark valleys. You had find strength when all things seemed are against you.

Such experience it does not only teaches you to value your own achievement but you learn to appreciate better the work and the achievements of other people, that is a blessing of paying the price. And those who have failed you become less judgemental towards them, that is the blessing you get when you learn to pay the price for what you want.
