PRICE TAG FOR FREEDOM

I believe that nothing in this world comes totally free.

I have been able to even conduct some personal experiment and seen that it's true.

You may believe that you can easily earn something without having to strive for it. Even the breath you take in every single moment of your life, requires your will to live, eating healthy and so many other things.

Coming to making money for example, a friend once told me that this phenomena we know as money, is something that you ultimately get to pay for. Either you show value, or skill, or hardwork or even money to be able to get it.

Sometimes all, you need to put in, is just your effort and things will work out good.

Just imagine that there is nothing like a price to pay or a sacrifice to make before somethings can be achieved. The world will be a haven for the lazy and cheats.

Get to inspect many that have attained so many high places in life, they did not just give their time, money or value, but also went as long as forfeiting something. Some go sleepless to ensure that some ventures they enter don't let them down. Many who choose to tow the illegal means of attainment get to sacrifice their peace of mind!

Little wonder why Shakira said,

"You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice."

Know this!

There is always a price you pay for anything you get in life, but the ball is in your court and don't forget that if the sacrifice is worth more than the attainment, then the goal is not worth it as you'll end up destroying yourself!

Sort:  

Truth, nothing is exactly free. Everything comes with a price. Infact robbing the bank has a price to pay in it also, they give themselves time to plan and strategize then risk losing their life for it.

If we truly want something, the question is what are we ready to sacrifice for it.

That is just the reality that many don't find real to cling to and go making decisions yay would affect them!

To achieve freedom, I agree that we have to sacrifice our free time or invest a lot of money and effort. The important thing is to step out of our comfort zone. Cheers!

Exactly, when one is in its comfort zone it limits us from striving and progressing. Indirectly, it makes us lazy and dependent.

True progress will surely require the sacrifice of leaving our comfort zone.

There is no free thing in this world and we really need to put that into account whenever we are doing whatever we want to do.

We just have to be mindful of what we are getting involved with. If the risk is worth it then, we can dabble into it
