There is no such thing as ''A free launch''

Just imagine you would walk around with a price tag gun and had to price everything. Friends, your job, hobbies - and your partner. That's a creepy idea right?
You probably heard this quote before

There is no such thing as a free launch We use this quote mostly in the business world to elucidate that at the end of the day everything comes at a cost.

The truth of the matter is that everything has a price. Even free meals we give out at a charity event.
They are costing produce and manpower of those who cook and distribute the food apparently, I know you don't like this statement, but the more you ponder about it the more you will see that it represents a displeasing truth.

For ''everything'' yes, every little thing in life we pay a price. Emotional debt or financial cost.

There is no free launch

We are fully cognizant of that when we have to make a burdensome decision. Or when we set a difficult goal for ourselves. In this condition, we are intentionally confronted with the question. Am i willing to pay the price for this decision?
But not just when you are setting goals or make premeditated decisions do you pay a price. You also pay that price for ordinary, daily decision you don't think about twice.
Decisions that are acquit to you. For those, you just pay the price without thinking twice about it.
On the other hand,we also pay the price for life situations we have created for us, we are not cognizant of that anymore or vanish it out.
When you have a secured job for example that you dislike. (Work does not have to be fun). One might ponder. But we pay the price Boredom, discontent, waste of your lifetime.

We pay a price in life. At any given tome. Even for the good things in life.
That leads to two amusingconclusions

Every medal has two sides

A valuable vision from this realization is: life is not a pony farm. At least not every time. Even on a pony farm you have to discharge off the manure sometimes at some point.
That connotes that everything in life has a negative aspects and comes at a cost.
That might even be the case if you would choose to be a billionaire.

• Maybe people would frequently ask you for money and you would have to say ''no''
• Maybe you might not know anyone who cares for you and who just love your money
• Maybe it would become boring to be able to do everything or have everything.

Apparently, there is no light without shadow. Everything comes with a price tag. Making yourself cognizant of that is totally relaxing.
It is relaxing because you know that it's alright if you are in a tough position right now. That you just experience a phase of shadow. Because nothing will always be pretty and good. Everything will also have dark and burdensome sides. Even the good things.

Most times, we do not see that we just face some shadow on our path. We aim to focus our attention completely on the negative aspects.
Did I make a mistake? Is that still the right way? Is this really what I desire?
Doubt is a pretty reliable success blocker and energy thief.
On every other part, we might also have faced hardship - sooner or later. Road toll might have been due on that other path just the same.
Again, I repeat there is no such thing as free launch. A statement that can make you feel uneasy at first, but when you ponder about it, you gradually get the full story and come to love every word it represents.

These uncomfortable truths are exactly the ones that help us grow and advance the most .
