Run that ye may obtain there is also this saying that says you must pay the price to get the prize
Life is a race and it's not the best runner neither is it the strongest runner that merits the prize but those that finishes the race.
I want to butress this write-up that Christ has the prize of those who faithfully and diligently follow him so the price is just to follow Jesus without complaining.
There is the verse that says do all things without murmurings and disputings that we should'nt complain,apostle Paul said something in the scriptures to live is Christ and to die is gain.This is a man that is very zealous this simply means all on how we live and do things should be all about Christ.
